I would start with making sure there is power and a good earth, then the relay is that clicking over, then the...

    Will do thanks, Gearbox has a little jerk between 1 2 ...whilst its warming but settles down. Coolant seems fine, and temp sensor reads correct - put a laser thermo on the thermostat and checked the temp sender - within 2 degrees of each other..will check the iat tommorow.... Thank you

    2004,1.5 dci Oil Change

    Fully synthetic or semi synthetic Fully is better than semi but by what degree I would rather change regularly with semi with new filter and washer. Grade , well all the grade means is how viscous it is at varying temps - low ie 0 degrees and high 100 degrees so 5w40 is better than 10w40 at 0...

    Walk up entry not working

    Hi any ideas about the walk up key less entry, not the two button remote - that opens the car fine. The keyless start works fine , just all the grey buttons on the doors don't . Is their a separate fuse or relay for this ?
