Shame it didn't work out of the box Andy, it may have been the incorrect part number for that engine? Maybe worth posting it in the Parts For Sale section of this forum to see if its any good to any members

Hi Andy Can you take photo of the plug so it shows the location of it Cheers, Trevor

I would say it sounds more like carbon build up in the EGR and intake system. Using a fuel additive as well as an EGR cleaner or even a Terraclean on the engine would help cure this issue

If the car hasn't had much use over lockdown then the vehicle battery could be failing, worth having it checked to eliminate this as the primary cause

You can't go wrong with any NextBase cameras and specs are highest in the market with keen prices as well. Worth getting the hard-wire kit to go with it

Try these guys....they have a branch in the Midlands Try discount code: AUTO15 it may still work on their site

Good luck with your search.....can't remember the last I saw one on the road

Findapart online breakers is rather good and worth trying as they do all the searching for you

Halfords sell double din stereos and usually heavily discount them occasionally. They also sell the fascia plates and adapter leads to suit the vehicle and head unit

Let us know the answer if you eventually find a solution

Eurocarparts would probably be the cheapest ... just wait for the best discount code to come up (e.g. 45% off is quite good)

Great news! hopefully no long term damage resulted from the oil filter housing being damaged. Although, I can't see the connection with that and poor running unless it was being starved of oil?

It could be battery health/condition as if not fully charged it will knock out this feature. Give the car an extended run and see if it comes back online after that

Did you ever find out where the spring goes into and did the issue resolve itself after that?

Thanks for the feedback. I take it have already given the dashboard a good bash to see if there are any loose connections

I would try Halfords as they have rolls of hose that may be suitable and be flexible enough to achieve the bend you require

Sounds like a strong possibility but if the BCM had changed I would have thought they would have coded the key in. Me personally, I would live with it rather than going to the expense of coding in units and keys, etc

Hi Spaghetti ....welcome to the Club Good to have you on board!

Hi Tombo.....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

Sounds like settings in the back end .... either the audio or the phone, my bet is on the phone settings. Can you try another phone to see if it happens on that also

Sorry to hear about the accident, hope you are okay though. It sounds like some wiring or a connection is damaged (say between the metal of the wing, etc) and you would need to carry out a visual inspection in the area of the damage. Check also that the earth connections are intact as if there is no earth then you would get zero volts as the circuit is incomplete

There is some tape on eBay which is incredibly strong and industrial but cannot remember the name of it so worth doing a search for tape and see which one is more expensive than most of the others and that may be it as I know it is not cheap

Hi Chris I would say it is either the Air Conditioning on and running the fan and if not equipped then it is more than likely a faulty Coolant Temperature Sensor / Sender providing incorrect information causing the fan to believe it is warmer than it actually is

Hi Tony....welcome to the Club Another Dorset member....good to have you on board!
