  1. Are your hazzards working and you must replace the blown maxi fuse 1st. The pump will power up without the ignition and the same fuse powers the ecu. But most importantly are your hazzards working the hazzards have there own little circut that is independant from everything else and runs via the fusebox and then the battery. also a volt test on ayour battery isnt what you need unless your checking your alternator you needto do a load test done
  2. Im assuming youve checked all the muti plugs into the ecu and fusebox and that youve put the maxifuses back in there right place. Check your battery. you might be lucky and just killed it. if not then i would think youve fried your main fusebox. are your hazzards working
  3. What year is your car. So we can be sure you have a dual mass
  4. never tried that b4 but if the plugs will reach then it shouldnt be a problem trying it that way
  5. Well you wont no till you try. and if you just leave it then the hot gasses get blasted past the seal under emence pressure will wear your head away. then you will have to remove the injector to get the head off.and it will cost you a lot more
  6. Thanks john car is fine and just what im after. But and theres always a but its in ireland and the ferry company want £400 for a return journey of 1 car and 2 pass there and 2 pass and 2 cars coming back. then say £150 for fuel makes it no longer viable. but many thanks for looking john. best regards steve
  7. as the title say need a c5 straight away. must be cheap and have good bodywork. mechanical condition not importantant at all.. will collect within 48 hours. will even take a 2.2 ha ha
  8. just put it on weve mixed comm units on loads of cits and never had a problem
  9. no harm at all as the ecu will just lower it after 5 minswhen its shutting down. then when you wake the ecu up it will just pump the car up. just dont drive over the recomended speed with the suspension on full as it will cause damage
  10. Have you tried the secondhand route
  11. whoa slow down a bit. Bits from the scrappy could be gossed . lets start again car runs fine when started with no engine miss and plenty of power. car has trouble starting, once its started does it start ok for the rest of the day or is it every time you start it is it a bosch fuel system
  12. oh dear oh dear oh dear fully charge the battery then plug the diagnostic back in and cranki it over and see what code comes up
  13. it sits on top of your diesel pump. youl see two wires going to it. In the old days (ha ha) before diagnostics it was called a stop solenoid. and by your none starting you will now know what it does. looks Simple enough to replace but having said that ive never replaced one so cant really be much help to you. but check wiring 1st for power or breaks
  14. just a quick simple one. Put the ignition on and leave for 10 seconds do this 2 or 3 times them try to start it
  15. could be one of many things from a dodgy cam or crank sensor or low fuel pressure from either of the diesel pumps or a starter or battery or imobiliser. youl be running around in circles and it will send you mental in the end. i think youve got autotel diagnostic if it has live data then go tp that and crank engine so you can see whats happening. If you havnt then bite the bullet and pay to have it plugged in. if your near newcastle then il plug you in for a bacon sandwich and a cuppa
  16. dont be scared of them there very very stable. just disconect the battery and let the car sit for five mins and then by the time youve to removing the airbag it will be fine. we can do them in 40 mins and never had any mishaps at all. very very straight forward job
  17. That old saying springs to mind about leading a horse to water. just get it pluged in or youl spend the next 10 years swapping parts over till you find the bit at fault
  18. ha ha i forgot to put a answer in. It Sounds like you need to reset the anti theft system. try the following put the ignition key in the ignition. then turn to +APC (last postion before starting). When you put the key in the +APC postion, press and hold the lock button of the remote. for 10 seconds, you need to start whit this whit in 5 seconds when you are in +APC. then turn off the ignition and wait 3 min. then pull the key out of the ignition and close the door. lock the car via the remote and wait 3 min. open the car via the remote and start the car have you got a imobiliser light showing on the dashboard
  19. why were you replacing the ecu and bsi units if you dont mind me asking
  20. your assumption is correct mr goose
  21. took 12 days to find it. as it wasnt mentioned on the old site or did i miss it
  22. have you tryed cleaning the sensor it behind the rear view mirror onto the windscreen. Seen this a few times on the pug 406s. think the demist setting tends to put a film over crap on the sensor after a few years
  23. Well youve done the hard bit and depresurized the system without a lexia. Find the leak chances are its a pipe. replace it then top up with lds fluid start the car and the hydraulic pump will do the rest. you might have to take the suspension up and down manually a few times but other than that its easier than changing a brake pipe
  24. South shields mr goose and never never never to be classed as next door to sunderland. Just turned sensor off on one of ours and we still get the sensor have been removed message everytime we start the car up. going to try something else and get back to you
  25. Just a word of caution. Before you all go lowering the front end and taking the back end up remember that once your c5 hits 70mph on the motorway the BHI unit has a control law stored in its memory and WILL lower the front end by 15mm and the back end by 11mm without any warning to you. this could be the diference between the front wheels clearing the wheel arch at 70 mph or not clearing it. or you get a bit of a bouncy road and your bumper scraping along it at 70
