Right.. that's me with squirting soapy water all over the system tomorrow then to check for leaks and I've found a vid showing how to test the pressure switch. If both of those fail - I may do an overhaul on the pump if I can figure out how.

blinking hell... I've done a quick search online... £1K for it... bugger that right off. I'll stick with my £30 part thank you for now. Could an old one be reconditioned I wonder?

If I'm reading this right... free software being sold as a main item; errr... doesn't copyright not come in to this at some point? If free software (public domain) is being sold for profit as a main item and not just as an added value item, then that's just bear faced cheek in my honest...

Update: Since removing the box - car drove without fault for 3 weeks.... I've refitted the box now (removed the plastic around the wires) to ensure connection. Time will tell if things start to get wired again or not. I opted not to solder them in as I wanted the option to remove. Is there...

Ok... fault again.. this time I read the codes. Pressure switch constantly reading high???? That's over a week ago now with nothing again since... Does this ring any bells to anyone. Easy to test / fix?

I've read a lot of these threads now about MPG... seams to go from the pocket busting 18mpg to the (I have now idea how)... 31mpg. I've only had mine now for about 2 months. I do a mixture of town, country roads and dual driving - normally keep it under 70 as I find its just too noisy above...

Guys... all I can now say for certain is that since I removed the hot fix I have NOT had a repeat performance of 5k revs in every gear..... She has managed to go nearly a week now without issue (now I've said that - watch out for a post tomorrow..lol) I can therefore only assume based on my...

If you're close enough to North Wales (Angelsey) then yeh. I have a spare MAF you can test and you can have it cheap if it fixes it :D it's for a 97 4.6.

Update following getting the cable and plug'n it in. In rush to fix things... I set it up - Initalized and read faults but then unlocked the EAS so they all ent away. (Good and bad as now I'll have to wait for it to fail again on me before knowing what was wrong). When I went to...

The oil level is still over the max mark. Oil looks new (red) and smells like the stuff in the bottle I have. I can only assume some one (previous owner) has overfileld it or changed filter and attempted to put the full 9.7lit in??? Only had the vehicle 3 weeks so don't know the history...

Doh!!! - I will be now.

Ahh... I also double checked the auto box oil level... the bloody thing is half way up the dip stick (that can't be correct) can it)... what effects will too much oil have?

Update: Having had it happen again.. this time I noticed that is you came off the accelerator the engine would change down and engine brake.. so when I got home, I took the bloody hot start fix off. Went for a run and instant change!!! Back to normal! Revs change as they did before, and...

So would the MPG drop correlate to the vehicle running on 'Cold' and could indicate that the relay is not switching over? How do you check the relay is switching off?

It was thought to be the timed version (Here). Is there a way to check it? What baout the symptombs fo the holding onto gears... is this connected you think?

Guys... I Seam to be a serial poster now I have a P38..:( I've recently fitted a Hot fix (off ebay). Connected it to a blue/grey trace to ECU (I did find three blue traces. One with Brown, one with Grey and one with white)... does that make sence? I used the Blue/grey as per instuctions...

Guys... I hear what you are all saying. Once this able arives... I'll be plugging it in (got the software readu on the laptop). I'll probably have to post again to see about tracing the fault. Just finished fitting a hotfix and started her up to test the fix and she pumped herself up off...

Cable is in the post... so will know more early week. I had been on the sand dunes so may have taken a bad sensor out of range or somthing?? I may have to take them off to check them but I don't know how to.

Guys... Update. I had the soft fault sorted by plugging into Eas software. The front Px and Driver side were out by a number of clicks. 120 px against 128 Driver side I think. The Guy pulled the 128 down to 126 and the system has been working fine for a past few days. It also had an...
