agree with alacrity, any time i've ever seen it done its always been the front drive thats been disconnected, or it can lead to problems, removing the front drive prop is only marginally more difficult than the back

yes it is a speedo chip, theres lots of different types

what!!! from your description, just a bit confusing! i'm taking it that when you power up pin A, both B&C go live, then when you operate the switch in either direction, the coresponding pin B or C, breaks continuity? or am i losing the plot too! are you attempting to add a switch ot just move yo...

under rear diff in middle, lift whole back end, or on cross beam just behind front diff (if you have 4 wheel drive!) has a little knobby bit that sits in jack perfectly and lifts whole front end, assuming your jack is hight enough rated! not wanting to get into sucking eggs territory,but dont forget...

sounds like 2 problems, check for air leak in fuel system allowing fuel to return to tank, and also a drain on the battery, do you have split charge system? 1 thing i've found which causes big drains on cars with the leisure circuit conversion on the back of the fusebox is if the vehicle has the fac...

agree it seems either stat is missing, had middle cut out or stuck open

make sure there's a little ball bearing between the contacts, have seen lots of these where 1 of the contacts, usually an end 1, and this gives extra clearance and the slider, that clicks between/from contact to contact has a ball bearing thats pushed by a little spring, if the contact breaks then t...

sounds like an air lock, system needs bleeding

hold light usually indicates a gearbox problem and the pick ups on the diagnostic port are different?

easiest and quickest way is to ground the whole tank, at several points there is a 'lip' where the 2 halves meet, simply drill a hole n use a self tapper to connect a wire and find a nearby nut, most of them are 10mm in that area and jobs done! Julian

look on fleabay for silicone sets, cost about the same as factory/slightly less and are much more durable than OE

check main relay in centre fuse box under bonnet, if your has it fitted this will cause the symptoms you described

was the car sat for a period? the wastegate on the 99-2001 models is hugely over engineered and prone to seizure, does the light start flashing before you start the vehicle? (after you have reset the ecu?), or is it about 30 secs after? if so there is 1 test that you can try but I'm hesitant to sugg...

From the factory kitchens I've seen, you have to push the button on the front and that starts the recharge cycle, bit of a weird setup, usually just rip it all out and install a split charge relay, saves you about 20kg's in weight too with all the factory charger/inverter etc
