Well after 24'000 miles (161k in total) a recon set of injectors, a new alternator which still hasnt fixed the charging issue, countless hours of testing electrical circuits, plumping, hoses and connections, replacing the front lower wish bones, drop links for the anti roll bar and no doubt lots...

Well we have a development !!! On the drive to work I completely lost all power and only had tick over. I noticed that the temp gauge was very high. Limped to work (its amazing what you see at 15mph!!) Refilled the now empty rad and then drove back. On the way home there was a noticable...

Well that is my hope too, But nope not this time. I have taken the airbox off entirely and no desernable difference. However a little more info, its most noticable around 2100-3200. Peak psi in 3rd is 17.7psi but will only give this at WOT for about 3 seconds or less and generally drops to about...

Hi all. So I have some more information about the sluggish performance. Firstly the turbo pressure is still able to climb to 22psi in 1st but in 3rd I discovered something interesting. If you approach a roundabout at a high speed then go from 5th to 4th to 3rd quickly , so keeping the engine...

So... not giving up I have taken the entire inlet system out and discovered... nothing. No holes no bad connections, nothing. So went back to the EGR having checked the turbo, and found it wasnt quite fully seating, then found that the solenoid is slightly sticky so soaked it in silcone... the...

Checked the EGR and thats fine, ive also checked the resistance on the injectors and they are all identical with about 0.4ohms. Ive been looking at the denso boost control and I'm wondering if thats worth a poke? More importantly, can the turbo be taken off the block without taking the engine...

Hi all. Just a little help, recently I have noticed that my diesel is holding back at about 3k. And absolutly no pickup on a small incline at 45mph in 5th. And will not give me more than about 3200 in 5th (107mph aka on a tiny incline) Equally if you allow a steady throttle build up to about...

Finally found the problem !! After searching cleaning and replacing component after component, the fault causing Limp home mode was down to a drop in fuel rail pressure... which was caused by a cracked injector. Been out and tested it since installing a replacement set from ebay... and shes...

How does it drive? Is it selecting gears correctly? Any clutch smell? I once hand this issue on a TD5 defender and discovered the clutch wasnt installed correctly causing the starter to spin the input shaft of the clutch. The resistance was low so shifting gears was easy enough but getting 1st...

Ahh its part number 3 in the image. That appears to nit have ones, is that correct? Thanks

Dead simple question. The fuel return line on the i-cdti engine running from the fuel rail to the pump... should it have a clamp at each end? I am on about the one which is about 8mm diameter. Only reason for asking is that mine hasnt and I am trying everything to find the recent contineous...

its 64 bit on all the laptops I have access to. Any go-arounds anyone?

Hi all, not sure where best to post this but since I have a 7th gen then figured this would be a starting place. I have a Galletto 1260 cable and software problem. I have a windows 10 laptop and I cannot get it to read my ECU no matter what I try. I have tried the following in the order...

Cables arrived and I have installed the software from the mini cd. Having rebled the fuel filter its a lot harder to go into LHM but its certianly still doing it. All help is appreciated as wlever !!

I have just ordered a galletto cable. When it arrives and I have installed the software, if you could let me know what to do there after it would be a great help. Thanks Mike
