I don't think it's the worst idea, it's a bit of a risk to post it out and £20 instead of paying a garage £60 is probably worth it. It's almost paid for itself so doesn't really matter if it gets lost. Then again I've got a mate with one so can just borrow that :D

no worries mate, was nice to meet you.

In the length of time this thread has been running I sold my 3.9. Classic running on LPG and bought a 2.5 diesel P38. Used to get about 18mpg on a good run on gas in the classic now get about 36 mpg in the P38. This was fine when LPG was 50p a litre (less than half price of petrol) but now it's...

Thanks for that, learnt something today.

Ordered a 12v to 220v 150w convertor from Amazon for £15 means I can plug other gadgets in to charge as well as laptop. Sweet. Feel much happier making journey to Manchester knowing I can clear any faults.

Daft as it sounds I've never considered dropping it down into 3rd using gear shifter. I apologise for my ignorance but what (in a sentence) is torque converter lock up?

Yeah my DHSE doesn't like hills, less so if hovering around 50 as has just changed into top I find it better to slow down to say 45 mph and then boot it or alternatively use the 'sport' button which just holds car in a lower gear for a greater rev range so you get better acceleration for...

I reckon it's good to change the bags if they are old and perished looking even if no leaks as prevents leak occurring when you're not ready. I guess bags are probably good for 8-10 years so I reckon if you've already bought the rear pair replace both or replace one and sell the other. It's...

Probably be Friday evening I'm coming through Stockport (en route from Halifax to Marple) or easy to do Sat morning as I'll be going to sisters in Manchester.

Still will be your dream car, it's a 12 year old car so won't be 100% perfect and there are always a few jobs that will need doing. I always find in first few weeks of ownership of a new car that I try and get everything right and spend far too much money that probably didn't need spending all...

So finally got the EAS unlock suite working and thought I'd test it on the car. Ran it and it sync'd fine and then it gave me an error 7: vehicle has moved code. Does anyone know what this means? Vehicle wasn't moving anywhere? I think it was the 2nd reading of the 4 with the error. Thx

Any idea what the app is called, I'd like to have a look at it. Cheers

Whoa nelly, now you're getting f'in technical. Wasn't away plug was called obd2, I just called it the pluggy sockety thing. :D Now what's this stuff about doing it remotely from your phone? Jesus, unless there's an app for it, it goes over my head.

obd2?

Don't Panic Mr Mainwaring! I just had an EAS fault which the garage cleared and checked, we're back up and running at the moment. Just sorting a laptop in case I get any faults on my trip ooop north (f'in windows and microsoft) so I can reset the system if anything triggers it again.

I was more thinking for leaving in the car so I can get home. There is a leak between 1st and 2nd blocks which I've ordered a diphragm replacement for. Mmmh tits on a mars bars, two of my favourite things, I can't see a negative

I might have a look at one of those EAS kickers especially if I can't get this old laptop running, got an application error when tried to run the RWS program but another thread suggested updating windows service pack which I'm currently doing and seems to be taking for ever. Fingers crossed I...

Did you get this sorted? I'm near Weston Super Mare and travelling up to Manchester next week will be in Stockport area at weekend. Let me know.

Cheers Just bought repair kit so have that fun to look forward to, just downloading repair guides etc Cheers for help

Well garage cleared faults and it seems to be running ok again. The fault was referring to front right and there is a leak on the valve block. I've heard that you can get a diaphram repair kit, does annyone know where I might be able to get one from? Cheers Drw
