after numerous phonecalls to dougdotcom (top fella and very helpful even to a complete numpty!!) i still have a problem with main beam not coming on. i changed out the top board of the becm (under supervision of dougdotcom) i have changed the stalk, i have traced the earths from light switch and...

have a slight problem with the main beam on my 2000my 2.5dse, dip beam comes on as normal then when you pull the stalk back for main it just flashes the lights and wont stay on main, i tried another, identical, stalk and no difference? is there a relay or fuse or summat i've missed?

it seems to be that the only cure for the struggling to start issues on the L series is to change the FIP belt and get the timing spot on? i've tried the usual heating the glowplugs from the battery and that didnt work and i read thru the threads on here.

how long should the glow plug light stay on in a L-series diesel? mines on for 3 secs but if i test the plug on the bench it takes 13-15sec to glow. i'm struggling to start it from cold in the mornings or if left for more than a few hours, i tried priming it this morning by squeezing the bulb...

following on from my " to re-sync or not " thread, i got a new drivers door latch/lock/blackbox from a breaker near me, when it arrived its somewhat different to mine though..... the one i took out of the drivers door looks like the one in the door lock replacement link in that it has wires...

following yesterdays blend motor bodge and subsequent lack of problems with the reconnecting of the battery etc, i was feeling kinda smug till my missus rang me and said "it wouldnt lock with the fob i so locked it with the key and now its saying engine immobilised press button on...

i've a 1998 xedi and yesterday the throttle pedal started making what can best be described as a high pitched hissing sound on a steady throttle, if you press the pedal or release the pedal it stops..... its definately not the intercooler and associated pipework as it only does it on a steady...

the rear wash wipe and wiper along with the heated rear screen are not working, i have power to the switches and the switches make a circuit when pressed, i have swapped the relays in the rear around and nothing works? oh its a 98 FL1 diesel if that helps! fuses are all ok as well.

the passenger side is stuck on cold all the time apparently the motor stalled on re-callibration. me being a tight arse was wondering if i could pull out the blend motor and just jam the thing so its blowing warm all the time?

just gone to order a timing belt kit from my parts man and he asked me do i need a 112 or 114 tooth one its a 1998 L series diesel. do i need to do the water pump as well or just belt and tensioners?? thanks!

right then the boss was driving the rangey today when she pulled up at her sisters it stalled and now wont restart. its a 2000my auto diesel, its stalled on me twice in the last month which is starting to worry me... anyhoo i went out and tried to start it this evening i'm getting no messages on...

just followed your idiots guide to replacing the airbags, as a fellow idiot it came in very useful! pint for you if you make it this far west!!

starts and idles clean and if you go easy on the throttle it seems ok but when you drive it normally it misfires like mad and wont rev thru it. the engine management light comes on as well when its missing, i have good fuel pressure at the filter (which is 2 weeks old maybe 600 miles) battery...

so far in my third week of ownership its had a full set of discs and pads, new keyfob batterys, needs an airbag on the rear, and i got a call from the wife saying it ground to a halt in town this morning engine everything dead!! she turned the key off and on and it restarted saying gearbox fault...

decided to check my autobox oil level and it took 2litres:eek: anyway when it started to run out of the filler the stuff that came out was brown not cherry red... question is do i drain all the oil out and take my chances with the whole potential crud in the valves issues that can occur, or just...
