why does he like broken mondeos? the 06 Mondeo, if it is a 2.0 diesel going to limp mode, it may be a small split in a boost pipe or turbo actuator sticking. I have been reading a lot of hard to trace limp mode issues on an XType forum. (I am on the forum because I had an XType which had an untraceable, in my tenure, limp problem, and have been lurking to try to find out about it even though it is long gone)

Spent all day running all my 00 gauge locomotives after keeping them storage for far too many years. Great news is the fact that they all work, even the sound ones.
I really should get my layout rebuilt as soon as I'm able.

Give this old thread a bump
Spent last weekend getting my son's 3 series ready for MOT, checked all 4 corners, wheels off, nothing to do, new oil and filter, new air filter and a bottle of injector cleaner in the tank. Made sure it had an Italian tune on the way to the test centre and made sure it was nice and clean inside and out. Passed with no advisories, same as the last 4 MOT's with previous owner, plus got a comment from the tester about what lovely condition it was in Also had an hour spare to wash the ZT-T and start getting under the bonnet of the TT looking nice

No time for working on any of our Rovers either - too busy with a John Deere Gator non runner given to my son-in-law.
After checking out all the electrics and sketching up a wiring diagram for future reference found a dodgy connection at the battery and a fault with one of the rear motors. All sorted now and it is in the hands of it's new owner our grandaughter. Only problem is she can't yet reach the loud pedal. A temporary pedal block is in order. |

This morning I tried to feed a wire from the driver's side to the fuse box on the passenger side by removing the radio and lower dash panels and feeding it through...
.. I couldn't and therefore I didn't .
Back to the drawing board to make an ignition fed lead to feed a usb socket to charge my phone that's in a holder fixed to the o/s windscreen. |
