Its not often she lets me off easily she must be happy to be fixed :-D thanks for all your help lads

Sadly (or not so sadly, really) it's not going to happen now as we grabbed, nay stole, a set of good TD injectors and pump plus some bits for Black for £20 this afternoon so I'll be fitting the correct ones. :) For the record, I did run it with one 130bar injector a while back as it originally seemed to miss more on one cylinder than the rest but...

Unfortunately there isn't a Comms 2000 diagram specifically on the wiring diagrams - it is only shown depending on the sub-component / system you are viewing and masks the others.

In your car, the airbag has a 2 pin Maroon connector.
Then there is a 6 pin Grey connector that has the Body 1 VAN Data Bus 1 connections, so probably controls several...

I can't help thinking that the Xsara Picasso is the Morris Minor of the future. Sitting by the side of the road with the front wheel at a crazy angle after the bottom trunnion has sheared due to lack of grease?

I actually passed one of those on Thursday last week :) it's been a long time since I last saw one, I was tempted to go back with the...

If you need to get new spheres you can do a lot worse than contacting AEP Direct. I have used them in the past, and they are thorough and fairly priced. I ordered a full set of spheres (6 in total), and they arrived within a few days. As the cost was over £50 the P&P was free. If you DO use them make sure to include your vehicle registration when...

:rofl2: :rofl2: it all seems a bit nuts to me, surely the hydrogen model would be better.

Thanks for your help :-)

I found my old CD which I had for my old 2004 Dispatch. It's labelled...

LEXIA 3 v 45
Cable: ACTIA PSA EVOLUTION XS INTERFACE ETC.
OLDER VEHICLES REQUIRE 30 PIN PLUG

IIRC I never actually used this software. Would it be suitable for the Berlingo?

Where could I get the right cable, or maybe specs to build a suitable...

Pleased you didn't find anything else, hopefully just a spontaneous failure - they do happen.

alright guys I am now getting p0340 but as I said earlier I changed the cam and crank sensors for new ones so any suggestions welcome 8-[

Just as well the impact wasn't more severe, otherwise the toe board assembly would have collapsed and the steering column retracted, which would of been a little more involved than pulling back into shape :-D Glad everyone was ok, what about the deer though? :cry:

Xantia fuel guages don't connect to the ecu. They just get the signal from the sender but react very very slowly to changes in level.

I pay £50 an hour for labour at my local independent Citroen specialist. So i think thats fair if its for 2 hours work.

Most interesting Alasdair...

Will look forward to a proper look at this over the weekend ;)

Further problems!
I had a mobile mechanic come out (as I couldn't move the car) he said the concentric slave cylinder had failed so I bit the bullet and left him to replace the 3 piece luk clutch I had bought (at my parents whilst I was on holiday). When he finished the job my parents said he took the car for a drive (apparently he shot off like a...

It will work fine outside of the door fitting, as there is no resistance to make it reverse. Try Bobins' solution and that may be enough to stop it encountering resistance.

Will have a look at that thread now.

Cheers for the reply

Ive repaired the pipe done a 15 mile trip and now the oil filler cap has been blown off and now oil is everywhere in the engine bay does this mean there is a blockage in the breather pipe and thats why it broke to start with

Glad it's all sorted :-D

The list and map of Lexia owners can be found here .

Hi lads just a quick question but does anyone know what the colour code is for the plugs on the solenoids for the turbo, EGR and doseur valve. I cant remember the colour coding on them and dont want to mess up my rebuilt turbo.

Looking forward to them.....

I have that head lining out now for James....the scrapper (I hope) will go Thursday/Friday

Wow you don't mess about.

It's going to be great to see you both and Jims flapjacks.

If you take out the under wing plastic you'll find there's a join at the bottom of the hose from the pump, part it there and drain it into a bowl, you have to take that hose off altogether to get the pump off because it's a tight fit in the body panel and can't pass through, if you start at the top you'll get a wash in oil so start at the bottom...

It's a 1.4 vtr+ :)

Absolutely amazing really they didn't think about that, factory conversion too! The camper is a lot of fun but is a constant rust battle. Next thing is the front cab steps, water drips down the door seals and collects there. Genius

It's unlikely a modern aluminium and plastic radiator would last twenty years and not need replacement.

Blimey what differences between headlight units, to think this is to show the way forward in the dark !!!!!!!!!!!! How illuminating ??

Best load lugger I ever owned always manages to level itself

Yes, I forgot to mention :-D

Hi and welcome.
It's possible that your Suspension pump contained in the BHI may be shot. IF there is lots of oil or burnt carbon deposits, it's likely this is causing the overheating and the shorts.

I kept many going with the welder over the years mind. I mean you can weld anything really, Inner sills , outer sills. Your car is probably saveable, but you need to be doing it yourself or a mate, to cut the costs.

Great, cheers I will give it a go next week, it might be after the stopper so it would make sense why it won't go back to normal use

Assuming its RHD model the BCM is behind the dash where the diagnostic socket is.

MAFF arrived yesterday and replaced. at the same time I was carrying out a service, while opening the Fuel filter I noticed it was not even half full of diesel. On completion of the service, I carried road test and all was restored to a condition I have not seen since a Citroen garage replaced the clutch.

Thank again

I've also changed the fuel filter, nearly ruined the filter housing in the process! Stupid design on the housing if you ask me. Touch wood I won't have any more trouble with the fuel pressure or sensor again.

There were, last weekend, several accidents on the M3 northbound last Sunday. It was due to a coach with quite a diesel leak!;

Thanks for the replies chaps. :)

I've heard the flap and motors noise before, it definitely wasn't that, it was far too 'rattly'. But......the leaf in the heater intake explanation could have hit the nail on the head....it was definitely the sort of noise that you'd expect from that. On popping the bonnet, there were a few old, dry leaves around...

Yep, got it thanks

Last had tax in Jan 1999, so scrapped I would think.

Thanks for he replies I have tried several code readers and hey all point to the MAF This is the message (Mass or volume Air Flow A Circuit Intermittent) Regarding cleaning the unit I have previously
Cleaned With Carb Cleaner This is a Brand New Unit Thanks Anyway Much Appreciated

I have had clutch release bearings on the way out rattle or hiss at idle (I assume they were loose on the gearbox input shaft so were rattling around) but went silent as soon as you put any pressure on the pedal - this was on Skoda's which had a reputation for having clutch release bearings made of cheese - and the above symptoms in both cases for...

Obviously it's hard to tell from a photo, but the circled area at the front of the car looks just a bit damp not actually dripping and the dripping liquid further back looks to be the air con dripping.

I think you can only swap the bare engine - all injection equipment will be coded to the immobiliser

Upload them here directly, cut out the middleman :)

Be aware that your Photobucket images are more that likely to disappear under their new rules.

Thanks Marc , thats for tomorrow have to do braekdown firs now.

Just change the bulbs. 8-[

Pleased to hear it is going well and exceeding your expectations :)

I remember on my cx c-matic , if the box was not working as it should you had to adjust the points on top of the gear box and all would be fine again.

You'd need to put the front of the car up on axle stands, as already mentioned you don't really need an angle gauge they're not expensive if you want to use one
