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...

Hi all following on from my post a couple of days ago i have now dropped the autobox oil and there is no sign of water in there but the condition of the oil is very bad. Now i have just been informed that as the fluid is so bad there is a high chance that the gearbox will slip or fail with new...

i will have to have a look around at weekend. It's hard to find a fault when the car starts and runs fine

It only seems to do it if i have weight on whilst towing but it has done it once with no trailer on the back

Hi all i have a Colorado 3.0 D4D auto with 194k miles no most of the time when driving the car it drives fine and does everything as it should but from time to time when i come to a stop the engine management light comes on when i press the accelerator to set off, it then goes into limp mode and...

Im thinking with view to towing the caravan i normally tow through the night and its cooler then so i should be ok

Cheers guys im going to scrap the 2nd cooler idea and just go for a new rad but will still fulsh the gear oil as planned

The 2nd question is what antifreeze is best as roughtrax only sell pre diluted also how do i find the capacity of the coolant system

My car is mainly used for towing our caravan that said i have never seen the gearbox high temp light come on whilst towing. Im not 100% sure the water is going into the gear box im doing this to rule out the problem.

Hi all i have a 2002 Colorado 3.0 D4d with the auto box. I'm looking to fit a standalone oil cooler for the gearbox as i seem to be using a little water, i have checked the dip stick for the auto box and all seems fine. So at this stage i have ordered 20ltr of atf fluid to do a full flush of the...

I know what you mean I like things to work correctly also but I couldn't justify spending the money when what I have does the job even though its not 100%

Some of the universal type look ok and are not too expensive

Here is the way I have done it with the 3 wire stalk pin 1 black that works the horn, pin 2 white with black stripe, pin 3 solid white and the red wire I have put to earth. the button on the end of the stalk activates the cruise light, push the stalk up this also activates the cruise light, pull...

I already had the switch as I bought it off a 90 last year when I was trying to get it working I did everything apart from swap the wiring round in the plug behind the airbag, the main thing for me is that its now working the only thing I have left to do is cut the hole in the plastic trim

Cheers Danny I have got it working im buzzing the button works for on and off also if you push the lever up that also does on and off pull to the steering wheel sets the speed push down speeds up the car. Im happy with that it will make my life a lot better when towing the caravan to Cornwall...

Ive got a little bit further ive now got the 2 white wires in pins 2 & 3 and the red wire not connected to anything but im now getting the green cruise light but the cruise still does not work :(

I have the same stalk that you have on the 2nd page on here but couldn't get it working last year when I was messing around with it. And then today I stumble across this :)

Is yours the d4d ?

Hi Danny what pins did you relocate have you a diagram
