    Center diff lock inoperative

    Hi guys, my centre diff has stopped working. It is definitely not engaging rather than the switch being faulty. Which pins on the plug to it power it? I hear the relay click in the passenger footwell but no noise from the actuator at all. It did work well until recently. I just want to check the...

    4.2 Turbo problems? Please help

    Well guys it is solved. The solenoid above the turbo that allows vacuum to the diaphragm was the culprit. A broken wire going into the plug to it. Car feels like a fast car tonight! Thanks for the help.

    4.2 Turbo problems? Please help

    Thanks Chris, really appreciate it. No it has no aftermarket pump. I will check for a collapsed line but I am thinking it is a lack of boost now rather than fuel as it is that turbo surge that has gone and no swoosh induction sound. It is really noticeable when it changes up at 40 mph but then...

    4.2 Turbo problems? Please help

    Sorry to revive an old thread but I am having a similar issue to you Nathan. My car is not quite as bad as it will rev to 4200 in neutral - will get to 80-90 but before was a lot pokier and would get over 100mph without issue. I recently ran it dry a few times and thought the fuel filters were...

    Odd noise from behind sat nav screen

    On my 2003 amazon there is a noise behind the lcd screen. I have narrowed it down to something to do with the temperature control as at max cold or hot it stops. It must be some sort of water regulator. Anyone dealt with this before? It is a really annoying tapping sound!

    Front fog lamp relay

    Well I tried to change this out tonight - mother of sweet divine Jesus is that a funny place to put relays - I gave up in the end as I was getting more and more frustrated and was going to start breaking things. Has anyone with a UK RHD amazon gotten to the relays? Did you take the dash apart? I...

    Apparently my unit is too old as I did ask that. I think I will need to buy a new one.

    Dastek/unichip compatibility from '99 to '03 1hdfte

    Unichip got back to me and it is a different set up due to differences in the loom and settings. £1k for it.

    Key issues

    I had a result on this. Went to a lock shop in Palmers Green, North London and they made me one good key that now locks and unlocks on the fob, they had to reprogramme it. He also made me a master without the buttons and us getting a transponder in to make me another key. Cost was 90gbp so a lot...

    Dastek/unichip compatibility from '99 to '03 1hdfte

    I am tempted to try it as the turbo seems to work on vacuum rather than ECU signals so shouldn't be affected but waiting on a reply from them

    Rear parking sensors

    Hi guys, yes its UK spec car. It sure looks factory fit but haven't followed the wiring back yet. It just has a constant rate intermittent beep once reverse is selected but no change regardless of objects. I have no reversing camera it seems.

    Dastek/unichip compatibility from '99 to '03 1hdfte

    Hi Grimbo, I spent a good while searching and reading threads but didn't see this covered as it is unusual as I have a chip off my 1999 and wonder if it is suitable for the 4speed 2003. Have an email into Dastek/Unichip so we will see what they say if they reply. Thanks

    Dastek/unichip compatibility from '99 to '03 1hdfte

    On my old ’99 1hd fte Amazon I had a Dastek chip and loved it and was wondering if I could put it on my new to me '03 4 speed with a VNT turbo?

    Rear parking sensors

    My new to me 2003 Amazon has two sensors, one in each bumper corner. I have a tow hitch. When I select reverse it just has a constant beep rather than any variation for objects. Any quick checks I can do? I guess the tow hitch renders sensors in the middle useless? Thanks!

    Key issues

    Just bought a 2003 Amazon and got a broken black 2 button key and a grey key. Reading up says the grey key is a valet and it does put the security light out a couple of moments after I put it in. The black key had no red light on button pushing so I changed the battery. It starts the car but the...

    Engine cutting out randomly

    There was a break in the green wire going from the EDU to the SPV - went direct rather than through the loom and started up and worked all day! I am going to wire it more permanently direct. Thanks for all the help guys - this forum is great.

    Engine cutting out randomly

    OK, I had more tea and went back. Now the car has run for a short period the resistance has climbed on the SPV to 50 ohms whereas before it was 3 ohms. As well as this the loom has been interrupted in the past perhaps for the recall with a plug however the plug has a black and white wire set up...

    Engine cutting out randomly

    It doesn't feel like diesel starvation as it is a pretty sudden stop and there is diesel in the filter as i unscrewed the water drain and pumped it.

    Engine cutting out randomly

    I checked spill control valve at edu plug and it was 3 ohms. I then connected all back up and started it. It ran for 10-15 seconds and died. I pumped primer and restarted it. It died again and I thought it must be diesel delivery issue but now pumping primer makes no difference. Should I try...

    Engine cutting out randomly

    Hi uHu, here is a PIC of mine. I have tested the speed sensor which has a resistance of 215 ohms. The spill control is 3 ohms but it is 8 degrees and the multimeter is not the best. Timing control valve clicks with 12v and resistance is 15 ohms. Do these seem OK to you?

    Engine cutting out randomly

    Hi there guys, Howmanygoes - I will try that this evening and report back but it was very unwilling to start which in some ways I guess is good for fault finding as whatever is stopping it is currently in that mode! uHu - I will have a good look for the connection between the valve and the...

    Engine cutting out randomly

    My until now trusty old cruiser with 310k miles is playing up. It was going fine until yesterday and hesitated then died while moving. I pulled over started it up and continued. It did the same an hour or so later again. Today it is really bad and in the end wouldn't start but turns over great...
