Like a tight belt noise. It's hard to explain. A mix of whine and a drone. I'll try grab a sound clip when I get chance

Strange one. So my brothers got a 197. He bought it from a dealer without me taking a look witg him, he's kind of a spare of the moment guy. The deal was they done a cambelt and water pump, I know it's been done as the parts are in the boot. Any way it makes this noise once warm if not driven...

Yeah sorry buddy. Like I say if you were local it'd take me 5 mins to sort out. Because it has a DPF the oil quality is constantly monitored to prevent contamination from regeneration and over fueling braking up the oil. Problem is you can reset the service light but if ypu don't reset the oil...

The nemo and bipper both use the fiat engine which has a DPF filter with oil quality monitoring. You've done the right thing by changing the oil, all you need to do now is reset the parameters of the oil quality sensor and the service light. Both done through a scanner. If you just have an...

Totally agree with you. A dash, trims, ecu let alone the airbags would write off most cars! Ive always used a fuse for personal preference as i consider its a fail safe if any current is left in the circuit.

Now that is very true, didnt think of that! Plus im sure on a car our ages, if it was to deploy the airbags the insurance company wouldnt cosider it cost effect to repair!

Leak off test on the injectors and check the crank pressure and running pressure on a scanner ideally. Peugeot DV6 engines come up with similar problems and from experience through winter months and is 9 times out of 10 a clogged fuel filter as diesel fuel congeals. This can intern damage the...

Are you sure its not the crank sensor? If it was the timing belt you'd know about it when you try and crank it.

As dan said, bad earth. You may find you have a bad earth on the pump loom, when the relay kicks in it will give 12v using the earth through the relay but once the resistance builds up it will drop out. Maybe confirm this by splicing an earth directly at the pump and see what happens

Just a note if you are going to use a resistor in line with an airbag loom your best fitting with a fuse too. In the event of the airbags or pretensioner going off it will blow the fuse and not the ecu.

Go genuine with the modified loom. And yes it will cut out unexpectedly. It's an inductive pulse sensor and there for doesn't always bring a fault code. The internal coils tend to brake down with heat and age so go genuine always with the crank sensor

Wow that's worrying! Though the ST has a gauge and a pressure sensor so I'd assume the ecu would illuminate a bulb of it dropped too low.

All vehicles will has some sort of pressure switch. Whether it's the conventional way of a switched earth oil switch with a lamp on the binical or via the ecu and only come on during low pressure situations

Just hold your hand over the tailpipe briefly while it's running see if you van hear a hiss from a joint.

Awesome! So just a set of pads and lambda. I'm assuming your capable of fitting the pads, just ensure the two spring clips on correctly and the piston is turned correctly to lock on the pad tab. As for the lambda reading what did you get after the second idle, if it's bot too far out its...
