    Mot faliure

    Hi, My 2011 MOT was done with what I think was the original exhaust which would be about 14 years old and was in quite a state and sounded awful when under load. The emissions were 0.00% CO and 16ppm HC which all things considered I thought was pretty good. I changed the exhaust anyway...

    Over drive light

    The immobiliser light should be OFF during driving. The overdrive light comes ON when overdrive is disabled so normally the light should be OFF.

    Newbie from sunny Cornwall

    Hi, Does it have this problem everywhere you park? Some have said that nearby phone masts can interfere with the signal. What are you looking to achieve with the immobiliser? It sounds like it is working so probably nothing to 'fix' as such. If you just want to be rid of it then I have...

    help help help Please

    Hi, Why not just use a regular resistor? It won't be anything special just because it's from Ford! I would say you need a 1ohm or possibly 2ohm. Just buy a couple of each they cost pennies from your local electronics shop or online via ebay or a million other places..

    Air bag light (code 37) mot failure?

    Hi, I can't advise on your fault other than as has been suggested to check the seat connectors as that is what 37 seems to refer to. I would like to thank you for the reminder though! My MOT is booked for tomorrow and my airbag light has been on for years. It was always an advisory but of...

    Fuel filler neck

    Mine was pretty bad all over. I patched it with 'chemical metal'. It too lasted about four years. However it finally went again and I couldn't face repairing it so I got a used one from the states but they are all like brand new over there! Pretty much anything you get over here has suffered...

    Abs & 4x4 lights

    I agree. If that was a purposefully done mod then it has little if any use. Maybe it was done to try and cure a fault? The opposite mod is sometimes done whereby the low box engages but the 4x4 doesn't (brown wire mod) this can have some uses.

    Can't start 96 Explorer - Only key fob broken

    All the info is out there. I have done this personally on two Explorers I've owned. You need to access the immobiliser module behind the n/s rear trim panel. You also need to access the wiring at the tank fuel pump. Once you have access to these the wiring is very simple.

    Can't start 96 Explorer - Only key fob broken

    It won't work because the single button fobs don't have transponder (chipped) keys. This is good because the immobiliser can be bypassed with simple wiring.

    ABS warning light on after changing brake pipes

    Hi, Is it possible that you let air into the ABS block. I've heard that thay are hard to bleed properly and that may throw a check light? I'm just guessing though. Another suggestion is that some wiring got disturbed while routing the new pipework? Of course there is always 'coincidence'...
