Re: Strange engine noise

Not really. Pretty constant and not that obvious in the cabin.
In fact I got home and could hear anything unusual.
Wondered if its the alternator?

dickie seats

evening
we have a 2003 2L bongo Aero city runner and wanted to fit some Dickie seats to the back of the driver/passenger seats but can't see an obvious fixing point which matches the holes in the dickie seats. Any clues or do they only work on certain models?

Re: 2L petrol engine

so got an OBD II scanner, plugged it in but nothing.....grrrr!
Looks like its fitted but not connected? There is another older diagnostic port under the glovebox. different PIN layout . can you get a reader for that or would a garage have one?

2L petrol.
Was damp today but not raining. Getting a diagnostic fault reader so it might shed a clue.

Re: central locking

Thanks. Well the key it's still locking all the doors from the driver's side so sounds like an issue with retrofitted remote fob system. Pulled out a load of wires connected to the ETC system plus an entertainment system. The radio doesn't work now but was going to replace it anyway. Just trying to ...

Spent the day getting to know the vehicle and started removing the remains of a entertainment system and some small electronic boxes fitted to the windscreen. The car was locking fine with the remote key fob before removing system but now its d...
