Air Bag Light

Hi,
Ihave a problem with air bag dash light. It is not going out and constantly flashes during driving. Is there a way of isolating this easily or will I have to live with this ?

Re: Power Loss

Thanks. Gave the van a good warm up and run before the steepish climb and much better with just a bit of high revving before gear changes. A bongo trait ?

Re: Power Loss

Hi Having taken it out again to test, the guage is just leaving the bottom mark and has not reached normal running temp. Interesting remarks regarding plugs. I would suspect they are old I having done about 10 000 miles ( the van 112 000 ) but have never experienced starting problems.
Thanks John

Re: Power Loss

Thanks. Have downloaded the list of possibilities and will start with fuel and air filters. Where is the throttle position sensor and is there any info regardingthis device ?

Power Loss

Hi.
Advice please. No problems starting and running for the first two or three miles then a struggle to climb a steepish hill. It revs quite high and seems to lose power. Once passed this there are no problems and it seems to run fine. This happens every time . Any ideas please.

Exhaust manifold

Advice needed please. I am in the process of sorting the sheared no. 8 stud . Everything going ok but at the stage of spliting the turbo having removed the clamp. Will the rod above the turbo need to be disconnected at the circlip or have I missed something because the turbo is not coming apart ...

Re: whistling noise

Right. Seems like the job needs to be done. I know there is plenty of help and advice available on the site but to anyone who has done it what chance the other 7 studs coming off without any shearing and any other associated problems ?

whistling noise

Having read all the problems associated with sheared no. 1 stud my problem is no 8 stud. The slight whine on start up and moving off doesnt bother me much but I am more concerned about possible damage in the future ! Should I be ?
