Right, with Tunnie's help (ie, him being a skinny git means he can get in at DIS pack  ;D) we changed the DIS and leads, which cured the sluggishness, and it goes pretty much how a 2.5 should.  However, keep thrashing it and EML comes on  >:( - Knock sensor circuit 2 (anyone know which side this is?).

Changed the temp sender as well, this (eventually - another story!) cured the temp gauge problem.

Changed the radiator switch, but the one from the scrappy didn't have aircon - someone said they were different?  Rad fans still not coming on, causing car to get warm.

I think expansion bottle cap is now knackered, as as soon as system starts to pressurise, it lets water out.


A big, big thanks to Tunnie for his help today again  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I had a problem with knock sensor 1 and Mark told me that was the drivers side, so I guess 2 must be the passenger side.

The first fan switch i got from the scrappy was a non aircon one and it made my fans work constantly, Ive still got it, your welcome to it if youy want to try it ,at least you will know if its the switch or not.

Think asking Mrs TheBoy to take that picture might have been a mistake  ;) ;D

Bank 1 is 1,3,5 (Drivers side) Bank 2 is 2,4,6 (passenger side).

I think your problem may be caused by a small plank of chipboard that the previous owner appears to have left under the bonnet. ;D

Glad to hear that you are getting things sorted.  Good luck with the rest!

Just a thought re the fans.  Has anyone been "fiddling" with the wiring loom?  By this I mean wires cut, dodgy crimps (or worse scothlocks >:() in the vacinity?  Bit of a long shot.

I also wonder if the ECU knows the fans are rotating.  To do this, it would have to be presented a signal to inform it as such.  Perhaps this has failed in some way and causing your problem.  This is probably an even bigger long shot TBH!

As said above, glad that you are making progres and feel free to ignore the above remarks re the fans! ;)

Cheers! Any help re fans is appreciated :)

Doesn't look like signs of loom tampering - all looks in good condition.

As far as I can tell by playing with Tech2, ECU doesn't know anything about fans, only a/c compressor.

I'll have to have a poke around the MV6 and see what that rad switch does...

Had a chance to compare the mpg, against the MV6?

Err, the fuel light is on again, despite a splash and dash the other day (when we chucked a load of coolant all over Tescos forecourt, so a bit crap, but it has been sat idling and taking around the villages a bit since....

Gonna fill her up today, drive home, then off to Oxford and back. See what its like then...

Be interesting to see the comparison, as the 3.0 is a fair bit quicker...
