For a smidge more money, a similar mileage slightly older ML250 can be had with similar off road ability and a decent towing capacity... Which would obviously be my suggestion. Don't recall Andy B having too many issues with his one

I have to admire your brand loyalty, however misplaced.

I did offer him my ML as a trade for their 125 convertible

It's a 68 plate.

50/50 is a bit of a dice roll from a reliability perspective.

That would be Ingenium diesel, and per around 2019/2020, the older chains, which are the single most common issue with that engine - not helped by the stupid stated service interval of something like 20k, which is ridiculous for a diesel, and especially a chain driven one.

For anyone else looking, check for chain rattle at start up, if it has any, walk away - popping on the newer chains will need around £2k.  Chains aside, I thing most people think the 2l Ingenium diesel is a brilliant engine, and is powerful, refined, and spectacularly economical.

To experienced people, some questions may sound daft.  But that's the point of groups like this, to help out those who don't know, or lack the confidence, or simply seek clarification.

Obviously, piss taking is par for the course, unless it's about MOTs and Air Fresheners!

With the features switched off, I'd expect no impact of charge level over a few days, as it's only powering alarm, entry system and telematics really.

Is your XJ a gen 2.1 infotainment system ? (I found a pair of new head units in the cupboard when cleaning up)

Yup

We need to organise that evening out we suggested last time....

I think I found those details my googling a CDC3 connector, then buzzing out with a multimeter.  The "CDC3" and a separate CDC3 have the same vertical board, but each with the unused connector missing - the standalone CDC3 has a connector on rear of board, and the integrated version like CCR2006 has the connector on top.  The boards have pads for either/both connectors to be fitted.

CDC3's were fitted in some Astra-G and Zafira-A (and probably others) if you can locate diagrams for those.


Sadly, it looks like I no longer have my findings from the pinouts, though I was only every looking for Audio L/R and Audio Gnd

I had all the Victor range....FB to FE. never had any rust problems with mine. I remember the belt going on my FD, I was very lucky or it was non interference, as it just had a new belt fitted. I sold the FC 101 to my neighbours son....even to this day, he keeps reminding me how good a car it was.

I've had to have two repaired over the years (on different Omegas) - the fault on both being water ingress in the solenoid on the top. Water drips down from the scuttle on the RH of the vehicle and drops onto the solenoid which don't appear to be sealed very well. I presume its similar with LHD Omegas.
Both cost me around £50 at a reputable auto electrical company that did repairs to starter, motors, alternators etc. - a lot cheaper that buying a reconditioned or new unit outright.

just a quick one for future reference :
has anyone got a full schematic of the ccr2006 or at the very least a description of what the pins do on the red cd changer connector ?
thanks

I got told a joke a couple of nights ago about Diane Abbott having anal bleaching , really funny but it would definitely get me banned from here, the thought of having that backside in your face is the thing nightmares are made from.

Do tell.
