I think I have gremlins under the dash As u said tony could have been a mech failure in the barrel not shutting a acc off. I've just jumped in and started the Nav and it seems to have come good. Stop and started about 10 times. What's a good product to clean the barrel with?

Lads Went for a run on the weekend and happened to travel through some water. Now I have Elec issues. Firstly lost tail lights and dash illumination. Replaced fuse and all good. Now I have no central locking and radio stays on along with cigarette lighter. I was winching a lot and putting...

Had a look at the tag fluid and it looks clear. So I ended up taking it for a run on the weekend. Got a slight smell but nothing compared to when I'm towing. I don't know if this helps but now my heater doesn't work which being honest I don't know if it hasn't worked previous as I don't use it...

Ran a bottle of liqui moly diesel purge through a tank today. Wasn't hunting as much during the day but I will see in the morning how she starts from cold.

Car is auto tony and the smell happens rarely when under high load, when I'm towing camper up steep hill so could be on the right track with trans. Only started happening since new rad and pipes went in. How would I check if coolant is in trans lines ? And is there a link to external trans...

Will try this weekend Thanks for the help

Righto I will give that stuff a run through and see how it goes but she's stalling a lot on cold idle so might be worth changing scv

D40 is hunting on cold start so I though I would start with replacing scv and fuel filter. I have rung local supplier and he needs a diesel pump number which is understandable but how do I find that or how do I know which scv my d40 has, long or short ??

Finally got around to checking the oil with your idea tony and no different so I will have to maybe drop the oil and have a look. I have also replaced rad and all cooling hoses. No overheating now but a foul smell in the cab when I work it hard when towing. Any ideas? It's an egg like smell...

so I'm waiting for a few funds to come in so i can repair my car and hopefully replace rad with forefront one. While i have been bored i have been researching and without spending money on a test kit just yet wanted to check tell tale signs of a cracked head. I checked coolant for traces of oil...

Is there anywhere you guys know of to buy the self test kits like shown in that video tony posted up. Tried super heap but no luck. I don't have a digital readout of temps so when you guys are talking about max temps what would that equate to in standard gauge, realising that it's far from...

Yeah I made sure they never got swapped when I have been topping up fluids and what not. When it had dropped all its coolant I could see it was coming from overflow tank. One thing I didn't check was the plastic tube that is part of the tank to make sure it had no cracks. I couldn't see leaks...

I have checked all my hoses And I'm currently waiting on forefront to get some radiators to purchase one. What are symptoms of a cracked head, as u took her for a quick drive the other day and was watching temp gauge very cautiously. Didn't go Past halfway. I got to where I needed and went to...

thanks Kernels After watching the youtube vid and reading the comments I'm thinking my radiator is blocked.

Looked at the fan suggestion the other night and wasn't very hard to turn over, it wasn't free but it turned without too much effort, wondering if its on the way out? I like the idea of a solid fan and sprayers old tony! I will go looking on eBay tonight, is it a straight forward changeover?

Thanks mate will try on the way home Is that a pricey exercise to fix?

hi everyone before i start i have looked for days for a similar issue on here but came up empty handed. so i have on 08 d40 auto nav and i have recently been doing a bit of towing (approx 1.5T). On the weekend i was travelling to my camp spot and happened to look at the temp gauge and it was...

New front shocks and front tyres and now drives like a dream

Just to tell everyone the outcome of my noise I think it was an accumulation of everything I had the timing chain, front tyres and shocks replaced today and I couldn't be happier. Drives like new again. Very happy with my mech( I can pass on details if anyone wants, Perth NOr mechanic, very...

Uca bushes look fine, no horizontal movement that I can tell
