Re: Digital Heater query
Yes there is a an air mixing box down central behind the dashboard, the fan under the bonnet blows the air thru the cooling matrix and into the box where there is a heater from the engine coolant. If the controls are working and the various control rods on both sides of the box are working ...

Re: Coolant leak repair help please
HI, common problem, but you don't say which engine, the piping varies a bit between them, however is it a metal pipe or a rubber pipe? Simpler if its a rubber pipe or a seal to a metal pipe that has failed! Best to check the diagrams for the cooling system and/or rear heater from the diagrams ...

Re: Gearbox and hello!
Welcome aboard!
You will probably find a spare gearbox from one of the companies below, not quite sure where your based so have a look around and ring these sites, probably best to ring them as stock often changes and web sites take a few days (or longer ;-) ) to get updated!

Re: Android/apple carplay?
Be wary of cheap Android based units, the basic Android hardware doesn't have an On/Off switch it merely turns the screen brightness off, only the better quality units turn the screen actually off and puts it into low current mode, otherwise you will find that a leisure battery powered unit will ...

Re: V6 breakdown symptoms
No its a non-interference engine - J5-DE - Only if the head has been skimmed or otherwise altered could there be a problem as the clearance is minimal. If you search on here you will find other references to it not being a problem. However if a valve should drop because of a broken stem then every ...

Re: V6 breakdown symptoms
I was climbing up a small rise, heard a small thump thought perhaps I had driven over a bird or something, and then felt the van just gliding to a halt! Couldn't quite make a layby either! Tried to start and obviously from the speed of the starter motor (quite fast) the entire engine wasn't ...

Re: V6 breakdown symptoms
I can't think that they would have missed a broken camshaft belt, its a long belt running under the plastic cover at the front of the engine, it normally drops out if it snaps! I had mine go just before last Xmas!
If they have checked for HT from the coil and there is none then several ...

Re: Android/apple carplay?
All depends on what features you want! All the connections are standard as are the sizes, so make a list of features that you would use and then have look online and car radio shops that meet what your want. For instance for me with a full side conversion and R&R bed, a hand remote that I can take ...

Re: Replacement Leisure Battery and Split-Charge Advice
Yes the relay and current setup is fine for any type of Lead Acid battery, AGM is probably the best style, I've just had to replace mine and went for the https://www.tayna.co.uk/leisure-batteries/enduroline/xv31mf/ which just fits under the bonnet on my tray but DO CHECK your dimensions width, depth ...

The most common procedure is as below;
Leave drivers door open
Turn ignition on then off three times (do not take key out of ignition)
Close and open door three times.
Then press the unlock button on the new fob a couple of times.

Re: New key with fob
Do you know which make of remote fob you have ? Whilst many use the same procedure not all do so without the manufacturers name for the fob its difficult to advise in detail.

Re: V6 breakdown symptoms
The dashboard light is merely an Oil Pressure light to indicate that there is a problem, it controls nothing else other than the light;

Re: 2.5 turbo diesel starting issues
The only other possibility is that the starter motor contactor needs replacing, but this normally shows itself by hearing a click from the starter but the motor itself does not turn over, this will repeat a number of times and then it will all work no problem, until a few starts later.

Re: 2.5 turbo diesel starting issues
Have to agree below 11v on a battery is a bad sign especially on a diesel, as you have the glowplugs and higher compression to overcome with the starter motor, than on a petrol vehicle. The fact that you start with minimal problems when boosted from another vehicle also points to this, the only ...
