Could be alternator but before having to get it removed id have a look under the bonnet for your earth points, I once replaced a clutch on a toyota avensis and forgot to tighten an earth up and it did similar things to your video!

Good news on the tailgate working mate :-) Im pretty sure it doesnt need coding as mine came from ebay and wasnt coded in. as for the diagnosis...id imagine they plugged it in and as the fault came up as ecu and it being such a common fault just said it needed a new one. I guess a bit of...

hi I used to work for Toyota and the Rav4's used to have a similar issue due to moisture getting into the siren! (but as VoG said, he's checked that!!) could be worth double checking tho? i think this is how you turn off the sensors? with drivers door open, push drivers door lock pin down...

Hi, i purchased something similar to this off Amazon as it was cheaper than Xcarlink, it didn't work so had to send it back. in the end i went with Xcarlink which was working fine until the other week!! (a replacment is on its way) you can bluetooth stream on the Xcarlink or use Aux (jack to...

Ah shame mate. Could you try returning the part (as faulty) and then try find another. Most scrappys offer 3 month warranty these days? There was a post on here somewhere for a mod to gain access from outside using the internal release! The guy had dog cages in the back so couldn't get to the...

I had the tailgate issues with mine when I first brought it. Trader payed for the diagnostic via honda who said it was the tailgate motor! (It was intermittently working), I think it was just getting weak, it did go in to lock down mode but by doing the battery disconnect it allowed me to open...

sorry for the delayed reply. here's the link for the ones I got off ebay which come with a 1 year warranty, I hope the link works!! ebay link

I have just replaced my interior bulbs including door lights and boot, also done side lights and number plate lights. i got them off ebay from a guy who offers 1 year warrenty with all bulbs. i got no can bus fault LED's and all work fine. i'll try get a link or name of he seller later.

Got 430miles on my 2.4 when the fuel light came on, mostly motorway and some A roads with climate on auto.

I tried the old disconnect and reconnect which didnt work :-(, So I sent it back to xcarlink who have found a faUlt with the bluetooth module. Apparently a new one is in the post....happy days!

thanks for the reply mate. i tried another phone and still nothing! Annoying thing is Xcarlink want the old one back to test it before sending out a replacement which means i have to strip the dash twice Boo!!! i'll try disconnect it form the head unit for 5mins and re try it just incase...

Hello, the other day my Xcar link decided to play up when making calls through the bluetooth add on. it pairs to my phone and is fully visible but when i make a call it just beeps a few times and throws the call back to my phone handset. has anyone else had this issue? or just me :-( the ipod...

Hi. are you planning on fitting a genuine touch screen unit with sat nav like you'd find in a Accord Ex or an aftermarket unit? here are a couple of links to get you started, i think its a pretty big job to retro fit. use the google search to find more info, there are a few on here. My link...

My fuse board location is by the drivers side kick panel (next to accelarator pedal) and has a diagram on the back of fuses and locations on the board, i don't have a Diesel tho so the particular fuse your after may be elsewhere? but i'd start there!! depending on where things are located in...

Hi. As with all cars just check everything works when you go to look at one. don't be afraid to spend ages testing everthing out. the issue i had with mine (2.4 petrol) was the power tailgate didn't work, this is pretty common so make sure it works with the key fob open and closed, then make...
