Hi Yes the earth lead should be replaced if in any doubt and all fuses for good contact ,but it may not always the case in this instance of intermittent starting You need to check is under the fuse box. There is a blue connector that is a well known cause . This needs to be examined carefully for any corrosion in the contacts needs to be dealt with sometimes with a new connector. You also need to check the wiring for the low pressure pump. It needs to be checked for damaged and repaired The fuel pump should run for about 20 seconds after the key is turned on , if the engine does not started; it switches off. Check the wires in the bundle under the N/S headlamp for damage and repair if necessary Last check is the ECU /Body computer wiring loom. Check this wiring for continuity, quite often a wire breaks here and disrupts signal to the ECU from the body computer under the dash. It may cause an immoblisier fault Hope this helps Regards

Hi Let us know how you get on Maybe a disconnected connection Of course a continuity check on the wiring may be beneficial Regards

Hi again Just got chatting a member down here in the south of Spain on tour who had one in his previous motorhome Just like both yourself and Derek he had very little joy ascertaining the required information on fault codes but rememberers that he found an faulty connection on his relay from the engine battery and had to also replace the wiring from same to the panel Some of our other members are in south of Portugal and may have the installation leaflet you requested We will be in contact over the weekend I am still a little taken aback that the company supply such little information on their product Regards

Hi Dawki Why go away from your Mercedes base I get the feeling you may be wishing someone to ask ? Regards

Hi sorry for my slow reply We are down in the South of Spain at the moment with the Club I have put out a request for a copy for you within the Club I await their reply Regards

Hi Dawki So what did you decide ? Eegards

Hi Can you tell us the components that start to fail, that causes this heater "lock-up", please Regards

Hi Yes it effects quite a few models and not just Fiats Regards

Hi Some will not attempt DPF regeneration if ambient temperature reading is too low or if ambient temperature signal missing/not reading. Regards

Hi Dawki, I think you should contact Ford for the "official information" you request Regards

Hi "Dawki" It 's a serious issue to consider on purchasing one with a wet belt as you say the the amount of money that has to be spent on the service of same and maybe the loss also of re-sale value going forward, Regards

Again lol Contact Ford ? May I wish you well

Hi If you read my last post I think it answers you question Again I will put it up for you , again,,,,as you say It's flooding lol I think it's an effort to clarify and for others to read in full If you have an issue take it up with Ford lol but as you say you haven't a wet cambelt and I think you allude you have an issue with the trade (see attached) Sorry my reply John may not suit you and if you wish to start an argument today lol I think not lol Really silly way of going on ,to be honest I will put it up for you again to read , please read it all. It's my opinion as is others here May I wish you well Hi I think you should contact Ford for any information needed on same as I believe many a case is pending ,That's of course if we are to believe social media reports. Regards

Hi I am afraid they do fail regardless of the oil used as it becomes diluted and contaminated with soot, ( regular oil changes are not the norm anymore ) This is well known and Ford have issued a Technical Service Bulletin . The saga goes on and on . At the moment it wouldn't be my choice of motor Regards

Hi Maybe a photo of your dash fault may be helpful? regards

Hi Paul I am afraid a lot of these reversing camera are well known for condensation and as as many will tell you that some are pretty difficult to seal and really don't last. Always worth a try though. Replacement is usally the best option Regards

Hi You could try gentle heat and dry it out over a period of time (it may take a few goes example with a hairdryer ) then find were the water is getting in and seal same, sometimes this can be difficult and not long lasting as some reversing cameras have sealing issues Maybe the best advice is to replace the camera itself , Regards

Hi "Doigy" But you are dealing with AXA insurance . I would re contact AXA first as I have advised , to avoid any misunderstandings Regards

Hi As Keithl mentions above you really should not need one within the EU if your insurance covers you for such travel.In case of an accident it still is good to have one as proof of travel cover in case of an accident when abroad. . https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-insurance/driving-abroad Are you sure the truck driver is fully insured? . Your insurance should have no problem printing you out a green card or indeed e mailing one for you to print out and send it o to the relevant authorities that may be requesting same Yes a green card is good to have if you are involved ij an accident and is easily provided by your insurer, once your insurance is valid for travel abroad within the E.U Why not ask AXA to send you on one ? and to the relevant authorities dealing with the case your full insurance documentation that you are covered to drive abroad at the time of the said accident . Regards

Yes a simple check to see if it's actually getting DC and good voltage from the batteries is the first check and its associate wiring and relays and connections Note make sure to check the panel itself and its connections at the rear (see attachment) Of course it is repairable , the point that no one wants to repair it is another issue

Hi Fiona Thanks for that , one of the common faults Regards Brendan

Hi I am sorry to hear people are just not bothered to repair it for you Regards
