Scv's are brand new from merlin diesel

Ok so i now have an update on this issue and what has been changed. Firstly the fuel pump was changed with a known good 2nd hand pump this did not fix the problem still the same 078(7) fault at the time the pump was fitted i had the timing belt kit fitted (it made sense to do it whilst the belt...

Ok so a little more on this one i will keep updating this post until i have the car running correctly again to help any other member that comes across similar problem So this morning i have gone out and the car started fine (as it always did/does) ive then gone out in the car and it drove...

Hi yes it does go into limp mode which will only allow you to drive at 10mph or rev to 1500rpm, when in limp mode the engine will cut out after 1.5-2 mins

The scv's have now been fitted and have not fixed the problem but i have found out today that the fuel is contaminated with what looks like it could be water. How this has happened i have no idea as i only ever use shell or BP to fill up with fuel. So i have now drained the tank flushed the fuel...

There is one on ebay £5795 110k a tad expensive i think

I have bought a pair of scv's from Merlin Diesels but have not had the chance to fit them yet. i will update once fitted

im not sure on the throttle sensor the problem with this car its been so bloody good ive never really had to look into fixing it i did try and carry on driving in limp mode but it just does the same as in the video I'm lost with this one

Hi a little update on this and still looking for advice. I can drive the car fine then it goes into limp mode and will not clear until i re-start the engine if i stop and leave it ticking over it cuts out also if i plant my foot on the gas it revs to 1500rpm then cuts out but will re-start and...

i have now put the new atf in the box 5ltr and been out and drove about 2 mile and all seems well upto now :) it did go into limp mode but i dont think that has anything to do with the gearbox 78(7) fuel line malfunction is the coed stored for that one

Im in no way doubting anyones knowledge its a case of i had already got so far in before i gathered all the the info :( im now not going to flush the box im just going to replace the 5ltr that has come out when i have removed the sump. I have checked and cleaned the 4 magnets in sump they was...

I have had no problems at all with the gearbox the car is losing a bit of water on a run so as a precaution i have bought a new rad and atf oil just in case it was going into the gearbox but lucky for me its not

Cheers for that as tbh i will carry on and do the flush and if it does slip i have hope using the anti slip oil in the link as if it does slip i have nothing to lose giving it a try

I have kept the oil from the sump which is around 4ltr but im also planning on removing the front pipes and flushing the system. i have cleaned the strainer and that is now clean and drying on a heater. The box has not been worked to hard as its only had a towbar fitted since i bought it 2.5...
