Has anyone bought one of the code readers and if so what do you think of it?

Fuel pump appears to be the issue.

Turns out it was the fuel pump which will only run up to 1/2 volume, so now being replaced. However as this was not diagnosed till Thursday and we were holidaying in Pembrokeshire from Friday. I have had to hire an estate ( have ) for the holiday. Got a Peugeot 308 1.6 HDI for £173 for 9 days...

I am going to print off all the replies I have had to this and hand it over to the mechanic on Monday, it may help him it tracing what is wrong. Appreciate everyone's pointers, I will post what happens. Cheers John

I checked the ECU red plug in driver seat box last night and no trace of oil

Oil & coolant have been checked and are fine there is no smoke

The guy at the 4x4 centre is sound, knows his stuff.

No I didn't keep the old filter the mechanic said the contents would have been useful! Thanks for the pointers.

Ok thank you

Defender TD5 2006 105k. I had a recent issue with poor starting, changed fuel filter and improved though not perfect. At weekend starting very poor to the extent that I thought it woul not start, however did so. Since then not pulling well, get up to 40 in 5th and feels like engine tightening...

No damage at all very clean job, took it with all the fixings and bolts. one of the neighbours did hear a van drive off quickly around 5. When they removed the lights they even disconnected the wiring without breaking the connectors or wiring. So I could connect my original lights with minimum...

Yes and the ladder, I can't believe it, lights and grille not that bothered about, but my patriot roof rack I am gutted about that

Think I was just a bit overly sensitive due to being as you say ****ed off with it ! Cheers John

Easy stuff to take, lights and grille just held on by a few screws, roof rack & ladder a bit more difficult but still just a few bolts. Annoying that it must have been planned and that some scum have been discussing when and what they were going to do. LED lights £100, Grille £200, Patriot roof...

Cheers mate that is so ****ing nice of you, I feel upset enough without any smart arse comments. I hope it doesn't happen to you, but of it did you may appreciate how **** I feel about the whole thing.

Got up this morning to take dogs out, thought something doesn't look right. Someone had robbed my LED indicators, brake & side lights the grill & light surrounds. Fitted my old lights back on, then whilst talking to a neighbour he said what was in them bolt holes. It was only then I realised...

2006 TD5 Defender 90 Diff light not working I have checked diff is locking. Looked at dash lights but no individual bulbs all on one circuit board. What is the method of checking the switch at the diff end can it be accessed from underneath or do I need to strip gaiter and move cubby box?

The Police could start looking at e-bay sellers and asking them to prove the spare parts they are selling are not stolen. I doubt that will happen though. Also anyone buying spare parts needs to think can they be sure they are not buying stolen parts, not sure how but if it is cheap as chips...

I changed to LED on my TD5 and didn't have any issues, the lights are brighter and look good and it was cheaper than buying a Discovery 4 ; - )

I just renewed my insurance and found Adrian Flux to be a decent price and nice & easy to deal with. Being covered third party for any car and the offer to upgrade to fully comp for £20 is a good option.
