ps, for bsi reset, does anyone know if you have to disconnect the negative battery terminal, or is it enough to disconnect just the positive for the minimum time?thanks

les i eventually thankfully got my prehistoric elm327 to work, gave codes p1349, p1350 and p1351, and mil, i cleared them, but it still clicks and doesnt start but now i notice the internal light is starting to dim a bit, ive put it on charge. im tempted to just buy a new battery, but the...

thanks Les, i just tried it again after leaving it for a couple of days, it still has 12.64v in the battery, i managed to wire up the multimeter and its only dropping to 11.67v when trying to start it, it makes a loud click, then another when i release the key from the turn. It started the...

thankfully got my ancient basic elm327 to load on a windows 10 laptop. Will try to read codes tommorow. If i was looking for a cheap scanner that covers pretty much everything diy level, eloys fluid, ebs, on top of basic codes, and chassis and body codes not just engine codes, is there a...

ps, if the starter is clicking or the relay is clicking, does anyone know if the relay is seperate and might have failed, or if the starter might have failed if it makes one click

i tried bridging the screws with wire on the bpga as it says to online to see if it then starts, but it didnt. Whats even more strange is that theres about 13v across the battery and between live battery and chassis, but only 1.7 volts on the bpga, which rises to 3.5v when i turn the ignition...

sorry bpga not bpcm

on the fuse diagrams the battery charge, power steering and abs esp fuses are all in the bpcm unit. i had this happen nce before a year ago and someone jumped it from a pack, and it just charged up normally after a drive, but this time its not restarting so far. so the bpcm unit wasnt faulty a...

hi, i was concerned about this, but i think the parts on ebay are not the concentric for the diesel, correct me if im wrong, its my spare rcz not my main one, but the parts advertised for both slave and master seem to be non concentric. thanks for replying, i jusat saw your message while...

hi anyone who has suggestions that might help solve. left car parked unlocked for few days, wouldnt start, i charged it at low power on charger and it just started, went for a 20 mile mostly fast drive and thought it would be fine, but again only just started on the second attempt, stopped 5...

hi dave, are you sure you were told the master cylinder for clutch involves need for gearbox to come out, i thought the master was behind pedal on drivers side but gearbox on passenger side. about to work on an rcz and slave or master have gone, i know the slave is straightforward to fix, but i...

yes, ive had to do that on both my front calipers now, ivr never added grease but if it happens again i may add, i think its the caliper thats sticking on one side every few months, i bought a full used caliper set and pads to change as i cant compress that caliper more than a few mm as its so...

ok, in case anyone has the same issue, before you start replacing drive shafts..... i recently had a binding left brake which i freed off, by stripping and cleaning it, then the right one started binding the next day. I couldnt work out what the one noise per wheel rotation was coing from...

i checked f21 and its got continuity on a meter, so i might look at the fan motor and the relay unit at front of car. In my case it never overheats on the guage, never seems to go above 90 but strangely i never hear a fan, even at low speed working.

ps, the oil cooler is held on by 3 nuts, i used a half length extension bar, 2 from above, 1 from underneath, its really fiddly, you cant see one of the nuts. then the 4 tiny bolts have to be removed to remove the mini radiator to alow the oil cooler to pull past the structure below as the 3...

in case anyone else has similar problems and is looking to try to understand causes, so after i changed belts and water pump the level seemed to not drop. but after i removed and put back the oil cooler (ill mention later how i think this can be done if anyone needs to in future), when i topped...

this is starting to make me think i might not have a leak, as some weep holes push the coolant to front block.....

one other thought on this, before i start dismantling more things, but after i did the watrer pump replacement as part of the timing belt replacement, its not dripped from the front as it usually did before. Sometimes it didnt drip and sometimes id did when cold and unpressured, but does anyone...

Also, i dont know if this is related, its winter now, but i havent noticed the fan coming on, if i wanted to check fan or sensors that trigger it, what are the most obvious things to check on a 2.0 hdi circa 2009 to 2015, thanks again for any advice

the rcz is so rare, but this is someone taking out the egr housing on a 508 2.0 hdi, and theres a coolant hose to the drivers side aboe where ive had a leak, so not impossible its this rather than the cooler, though i assume its the water pipe behind the oil cooler. 8 mins in
