Been through this palaver recently with a non working temp guage. if your ecu temp sensor is faulty and thinks the engine is cold all the time ,you will always get the glow plug light hot or cold. If your temp gauge moves up to the top of the blue lines then it's working and as wammers and data...

+ 1 , if i had a cap,it would be doffed right now sir :D:D Great job mate ,have been watching from the start.

Good chance it's a clogged or dirty fuel filter ,sounds like it ;)

The gearbox fault is only cos the engine had cut out while it was still moving in gear.Try a new fuel filter or maybe intank pump is duff

Check the charge rate with a multimeter and if it's still putting 14,2v to the battery then it's fine ;)

Dunno for sure but i think if you unplug it there are problems starting them afterwards,not positive tho'

If i leave the 5amp diagnostic fuse out ,the car goes to sleep fine. but when the car is started and has been running for a minute or 2, you can hear a very short chirp every second or so from the alarm sounder,when you are sitting in the car it sounds like a loud clock ticking,but when you open...

Latest; I have finally got her off to sleep :) After removing and checking fuse box-like brand new -removed all fuses and relays, all like new,no smells or signs of heat anywhere, all under bonnet earths etc, put it all back together and noticed that when i remove the 5amp diagnostic fuse, i get...

Cheers Rick,hopefully won't need your services mate, but really appreciate the offer. However, watch this space.:)

Cheers Keith, fuse box out time :)

Update; Dirty conn at back of alt,cleaned up and now have 14.4v at battery. BECM is still not going to sleep on it's own. Can get it to sleep pulling certain fuses and the voltage at battery stabilizes and tell tale light on console will go out. The only thing is, if you restart the car and...

Yip in some of the functions you can save the data to a memory card .

:D:D I know,thank god my old diesel is still toasty inside. Cheers for the info Tony,i have a feeling with the horn issue it may be fuse box or BECM related. Just found out that no response from car when fob depressed although car starts fine with no messages and fob flashes? I think it may be...

Brand new batt just fitted and checked today . Put nano on it and is showing a short circuit in right blend motor, but should not affect battery when car is off and key removed,should it??

Thanks Keith, i am just about to give it the once over. Just put the mm on to check charging rate at battery and only 13.5v @ 2000rpm with lights on,wondering if the alt might be the culprit,draining the battery when switched off?

Hi All, A local guy has dropped his RR in for me to have a look at battery drain issues he is having. He bought it from new and it has now done a massive 28,700 or so miles in it's 11 year life,never scraped bashed or been offroad. But still has issues which i suppose are p38 and time related...

:d:d

Cheers Tony, it's gone brittle but after leaving the bolts soaking in penetrating fluid they are off and 2 ten pence pieces are the new EGR, looks neater too :D

Ok guys it's all went a bit pete tong. The feckin' exhaust manifold end of the EGR pipe does not want to come off. I have destroyed 2 t45 bits already and the studs have not budged. Any ideas?? Was thinking about cutting pipe and trying to blank the end of it somehow but open to suggestions :(

My mission today-should i accept it- is to remove the fecked pipe and blank both ends off and leave the EGR valve and vacuum pipe as it is. MOT is months away, so plenty time to get a replacement. This thread will self-destruct in 5 secs. :)
