In this order - engine on headlights on turn off engine and key out WITHIN 45 SECONDS - turn lights off - the delay time starts now turning engine or lights back on cancels the functions Hope it works for you - let us know!

ha ha my apologies for the almost sexist comment!!! My Mrs had a good laugh at that too! Could well indeed be the fitting, ours was REALLY awful, not a bit but shaking a good inch each way. Lets hope it's that simple! Ours can be tight to get out of park on hills, with a loud thunk when it does. Have to tried sitting with the ignition on, but not running, and listen for a small click type noise as you put your foot on the brake pedal? It should, this is the mechanical release so the gear lever can move. gordy will probably be on the right lines with the diesel fuel filter I reckon.

Not my area as mines petrol - but check other threads for the fuel filter housing problem that the diesels have. On the shaking steering, we have non standard alloys, with a "spacer" ring to centralise them for fitting. And when garages, or even a tyre place from my personal experience, just wallop the wheels on and airgun them up they may not be centred correctly. Because mine shook its flaming head off after a puncture repair!!! So I refitted it myself, slowly and centred it up with the wheel nuts, lo and behold it's fine. Or has it been kerbed, and bent something? Has the Mrs not admitted it......Mine did, because she damaged the ruddy tyres!!!!! Due for change very soon anyway thankfully. The reverse problem - if that's when coming out of park, can you hear the clunk release when you put your foot on the brake? If not it might just be a brake switch problem.

Yep! That's all I did on my 02 Ltd, and what a difference, sounded like it needed major suspension surgery before! But I fitted my mechanics boiler at home. So we have a very straight relationship when I take him stuff I can't or don't have time to do.

Mine looks jolly much the same as that, (05 car) as well as you can tell from a photo!

Ebay for mine on an 02 a couple of years ago, about £10 if I remember right. Or does it do it at stand still when turning the steering wheel slightly one way to the other, in which case strut top mounts. Got a fully assembled pair from Germany for £240.00 You guessed it, ruddy ebay.

Nope. Mine are taupe in one car LX 02, very light brown in my second LTd 02, and grey in another XS 05. Sorry, Nev

Hiya newbie, Well done, I'd imagine no one knew for sure which is why we've not jumped in and made irrrelavent guesses. My wild stab in the dark would have been yes, the differnece being the panel behind the door giving the extra length of the Grand version. Go on then, enlighten us please?! Cheers Nev

Hey gordy, where is this wire that goes to a module / earth please pal?

Don't forget it drives fine, so it does know what gear it's in hey fellas. And reading it, not all lights on all the time. Unlike mine! Which has only got 2nd gear forward. And P, N, and reverse.

Hiya, as I didn't need it, (but was willing to risk under 8 quid to help and find out, it will be good for a spare case if nothing else!) I haven't spent the money to do it - I wasn't that interested - yet!!

Hi mate, just sent you a message regarding some pics I had.

Hiya Mikes22 I will try to take a photo under mine, I think mine are simply bolted through the bumper. The back ones are for sure.

Hi Berkswolf, if your 65 plate is correct I'd take it back under warranty mate.

In one word - no it doesn't work. Actually thats a few, hey. But still ruddy cheap for a remote and transponder, it does have the membrane in it too. So you would simply need the services and key cutting (not supply) abilitiy of the good old auto locksmith as we started with. Cheers guys!

Believe it or not the panic button on my remote with the replacement case from China does work!!!! I must have used the membrane from the new one as a happy strange thing, only discovered it when my girls got the keys and set it off!!!! I'll dig out our spare remote for the battery and have a go for a laugh in the mext day or so.

Bugger, never thought of the power thing.

Well the key / fob / membrane / remote has arrived from China!! But the programming instructions didn't come with it, and the link from QinteQ doesn't show 2004 - 2007, unless the other method for up to 2003 works? Any ideas gents?

Yep, easy! Yet again ebay comes up with it. Search for usb to av cable, then also female to female usb adapter. Less than a fiver should sort it. However I have yet to try it, but think I should have a go!!

Ah, possibly a large technicality, they are for the 3.3 - petrol. However there is definitely some confusion on it, on the American mini van sites they reckon that they will just swap - but as I say it didn't sort mine!!! Also seen a few on there with solenoid changes that didn't sort it, but then some did. And if it's a no charge event then it would seem completely genuine too, fingers crossed for you - let us know! The PCM ecu would have to be reset to tell it to accept your transponder on the keys, but that's not what we're talking about.

The TCM's I have are P04686707AI that a capital i at the end S/N TEFTH293725JZ7 P04686760AD s/n TEVTH0069196BL by any chance do either of these match? They didn't on mine, but after disconnecting the battery to fit them sod all different happened but no fault code. and the bad timing news is we go away for a few days till Friday in the morning

Hi guys, I've had enough of trying to fix it, it drives fine in 2nd gear or reverse. Is anyone interested in it, only 2 owners with a proper service history? It's now sorned as the insurance ran out and I am naffed off. 2 professional mechanics I know couldn't sort it, tried replacement TCM and PCM's. LPG with certificate and "alternative fuel" on logbook, 91,000 miles, 2 owners including me (for 4 years) Silver, cloth seats, manual sliding doors and tailgate. Apart from the ruddy gears, and no speedo, everything works. We are in Stockport, South Manchester. Send me a message!!

Smashing! Good result hey! Flipping electronics on these things really do have a mind of their own.

Come on Lewis fill us in!! What was it?

I've got bigger problems with my 2002 3.3. Only get limp mode. But ended up as they were not very expensive with 2 spare TCM's. If you would like to borrow one to try you are welcome, if you cover the postage cost, if it works send me some more money, if not send it back! But doesn't sound like an ecu as you say temperature affects it.
