Thanks Tony - this gives me a lead. I'll explore and let you know what I find

I had an after market remote locking installed in my 2011 D22. I want to get rid of it. on occasions It prevents my engine to start . It locks me in . I want to remove it. Where is it situated. Perhaps I could remove the associated fuse. It is a source of frustration...

Thanks Grumpy. When I find it it's coming out;)

It's interesting. I stopped using the remote hand piece for a period of time and now I can lock the car with my key - get in without being locked out. It seems to be fixed providing I don't use the hand held remote. These complications happened previously and the complications emerged again...

Thanks Izzibri I'll look into both those issues later today

I replaced the battery in the hand piece and checked for correct voltage. The responder is the receiver in the car - is that right. Where might it be situated. Thanks for the replies

Hi Folks - At the time I bought my D22 in 2011 I had an after market remote locking installed. It functioned for a long time but recently it has caused problems. On some occasions when I unlock, the hazard lights flash and I have no starter motor. More recently I am locked in the car and have...

Yes just checked its a YD25 - It's easy just take a gasket out and use it as a template to make the solid blank - I used a bit of aluminum sheet metal . I can send you a pic of where I placed it if you like

Billy72 I'm not sure - I'll get my manual out and let you know

I blanked my EGR and I can only say it has been such a success. Before the car constantly blew black smoke excessively now there is no sign of smoke and for the first time the bumper bar near the exhaust is silver. I also notice a considerable improvement in power and responsiveness . Now I get...

My neighbour who is a diesel mechanic looked at my belts and said that they are low in the V of the pulley so are definitely worn. He said they should be slightly higher than the edge of the pulley. He is going to replace them for me which is great. In the mean time the WD40 has eliminated the...

After 7 starts - 3 were early in the day I hear no sound after wd40 on my belts and filter with one way release valve. I now think it is a belt issue. So glad I chatted to you guys. Replacing my belts is on the agenda now. I guess radiator off to get access? Thanks Folks

Tried some lanatech today . Very quiet now fingers crossed. Will try wd40 too Tony. At least there is a strong possibility that the timing chain may be OK - thanks for the help guys

I went to repco today and they gave me some belt grip. Really I didn't think about this enough. I put it on and belt noise was increased. It wasn't what was needed. I tried some silicon spray on grease and that quietened things down. I am now realising there is a lot of belt noise

Thanks heaps for your help guys. As a pensioner an expensive repair may not be an option. But I will try all your suggestions. I'll let you know how I get on. Regards - Paul
