  1. Past hour
  2. My indicator for right turn flashes to the left when switched on for first few flashes then heads over to the right side. need to check the connections to try and fix the intermittent issue. Have looked in both fuse boxes and behind the hazard cluster on the dash? thank you
  3. Yep 90 degrees is where it should be. Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up?
  4. Today
  5. Very nice. Think I've been past it.
  6. Hi Magnet. I’ll contact garage and find out which one they put in. Am i right in thinking that if it reaches 90 then its working correctly though?
  7. Thanks Naresh, I would suggest restricted use and very frequent level checking when you do have to use it. Don’t depend on the ‘low coolant ‘ message popping up to remind you to do that. Regards, Gareth.
  8. Hello David, Seems like you have your mA in a twist. Power consumption when the car has fully shut down (possibly in excess of 30 mins after being locked) should be around 50 ish mA, so 1.6 ma must be wrong. My guess is you are talking amp figures here rather than mA. Try disconnecting the alternator output plug - might be discharging through a faulty diode. Regards, Gareth.
  9. Any particular reason why your Sign On has now changed to Guest, Paul?
  10. First question first before moving on:- Brand of new thermostat used?
  11. Welcome Mark, I fear you are about to throw your money away by engaging in this ‘carbon clean’ - a bit like putting on your best designer gear, when you haven’t changed your underpants for a week! If it were mine:- Check how much fuel is in it - hopefully not much - and add 2 gallons of E5 to which you have added a fair dose of Redex. (See this morning’s response to a similar issue with an aging convertible). Get it plugged in and find what codes are showing. It seems you have been told it has service history, but you have not seen the evidence before committing to buy. Bit of a chance taken there, but…. I would certainly keep my ‘carbon clean’ funds as far down in my pocket to render it inaccessible. Please let us know how you get on Mark. Regards, Gareth.
  12. Many thanks Gregg. Now understandable in knowledge of stale fuel. I would suggest you only use E5, and add a fair slosh of Redex to every gallon. Well worth treating it to an oil and filter change using respected branded filters and oil. Kind regards, Gareth.
  13. Hi im new to the group, wondering if anyone can help. I had an issue with my car, engine was only reaching around 70 degree temp. So had the main thermostat replaced. Now the car does reach 90 and stays there well, but it takes a long time to get there. Maybe 30mins of driving. Obviously isnt normal still. Ive been told to change the 2nd thermostat by some other owners, but when i give my engine code to suppliers, they are telling me i dont have that part in my engine. Anyone resolved the slow warm up issue? Engine CJCD. 2.0 Diesel CVT thanks alot, look forword to any replies

  16. hi gareth thanks for the reply,i done a coolant flush last night and it was badly needed as a lot of sediment flushed out,after putting in fresh petrol and driving it things seem a lot better as i think it was parked up since feb,it needs some work as in discs pads etc so ill keep the forum updated on my progress
  17. I hope the service history gives you an idea of what parts have recently been changed. My worry, is that the cars been px'd because of the issue either because the previous owner found it was going to be an expensive repair, or they had enough chasing the issue and spending money on various parts to fix it.
  18. You're welcome 🙂 Yes. I believe a crank sensor can.
  19. The car stalled again this morning at cold start and after a couple of tries it started, no faults came on the dash and the car worked fine for the rest of the day. I have a basic bluetooth OBD2 scanner so I connected it after the car was idling with no issues. The scanner showed two fault codes: (also see attached image) - OBD-II: P0016 Crankshaft position/camshaft position, bank 1 sensor A - correlation. - Engine control unit: 14868 P001600: Crankshaft Position-Cramshaft Position, Correlation Bank 1 Sensor A PO34100: Camshaft Pos. Sensor Circ., Range/Performance Could the above fault codes have anything to do with the car stalling at cold start?
  20. Yes, the new battery coded to the car.
  21. @Steve Q Thanks for the links, I will have a look 👍
