Another pass on the Silver Bullet. Well, after it failed on headlight aim. Only one side, though, which is odd, as I raised them both equally, to give an easy, obvious fail :-\
But 2 advisos. What were they?

I hate it when that happens.......
......On a DTi with code P1631 – Injection Pump Malfunction 6. :'(

VXL V6 - can you still walk, and did you use vaseline when they bent you over :'(
Mine is a simple 55 - Replace ECU
I wonder how many dealers and garages would take that literally ;)

Well it may not be as bad as everyone thinks when the pump 'fails' on a DTi, basically the pump is two units, a mechanical pump and a control board (EDC). After a bit of reasearch it appears that 75% of pump failures are actually a faulty EDU - usually a failure of the board. These can be repaired by specialist companies (It's not really a DIY job because of the design of the unit).
The car gets delivered back tomorrow so I hope to have a few mins to see about the possibilty of removing the EDC with the pump in situ.
I'll post up on the forum if anyones interested, though I know DTi's aren't that common.

Always worth a guide, Mr VXL :y

I recall the edc fix is quite easy with a soldering iron.
As for TB's fault light pmsl.....I guess they left the key in the ignition for a bit before starting it
-
Scratch that its the same as the abs module

Correct :y. S'pose next year, I'll have to make a temporary "adjustment" to prevent a repeat... ...I still have said "adjustment" laying around here somewhere ;D

I think they actually are required to check that the right lights come on with the ignition, and go out when the engine is started under the new MOT rules ...

Yep, a little beyond the scope of a cheap soldering iron unfortunately. Still a cheaper option than complete unit replacement though.
I shall investigate! :y
