That's on the commercial, not the passenger cars.

Faults and Fixes • RE: Front - Side Marker Lamp - Signal Stuck High

As for the intermittent reversing camera, from what I gathered from around the net, it looks like it could be tied to a crimped or damaged wire in the rubber trunking where the boot links to the car. Some Jaguar models with electronic boot lids were recalled for this fault... and although it's not a common issue on a D5 (yet)...the likelihood of it of it being tied to this particular wiring fault is a distinct probability, especially if none of the other camera feeds are effected.

Yes, you could be right enough.

No matter how many times I clear the codes, they keep coming back. With oncoming drivers flashing their lights at me occasionally as well, I honestly thought something must be at fault.

Did you ever get to the bottom of the problem with your rear parking camera? The wife said ours didn’t display one day, worked again the next, then stopped working the following day and hasn’t worked since.

I've seen those error codes before...can't remember if it was something randomly thrown up on mine or if someone else had them pop up. 'Side marker' sounds more like it's to do with the daylight running LED's than the headlights though so it shouldn't effect your hi/lo beam pattern.

I've had a few flashes from approaching motorists at night...or the annoyed flash of brake lights when I've come up behind a car every now and then even though my headlights were dipped...and I...

See my reply to your PM for the answer to that one, Stokesy...but the new battery certainly helped with a few other niggly problems not tied to the reversing camera.

Trouble with that is you can't really get to the bits of cable that usually rust...I did attempt that kind of preventative maintenance early on but even taking the regulator off so I could spray the cables with silicone grease didn't help much.

I've replaced 2 on mine that the cables had rusted through and broken, one front, one rear. Both due to the cables not being pre-greased at the factory. The replacement regulators from eBay were relatively inexpensive (compared to OE...

is it worthwhile doing preventative maintenance, i.e. taking off door card and greasing the cables. It seems quite quick and easy to remove door card, so might give it a shot and hopefully reduce risk of failure

Had a minor drama as the tester drove the Bling Barge onto the ramps at the garage as the airbag warning light wouldn't go out. I mean...all I had done was drive the damned thing from the ferry to the garage...it was fine when I pulled up.

Anyway, since the airbag warning lamp is an instant MOT fail, the tester was a decent sort and offered to run a quick diagnostic, turned out it was the connector under the drivers seat throwing up the error, so, he sorted out the...

I use the same manual vacuum pump and I've also got a vacuum bottle I connect to the compressor in the workshop. Both are just as quick.

Yes, it’s an amazing place. I certainly didn’t appreciate how advanced China and it certainly isn’t poor.

Last time out, they took the high speed train from Shanghai to Chengdu and its cruising speed was 350kph. Apparently they can go up to 500kph, but passengers were getting nose bleeds, so they reduced it.

They certainly got about and he had his own personal translator with him, although he can speak some Mandarin as you’d expect.

I bought this one.

It works well enough for being used once or twice a year.

Besides a holiday type trip to the Gorkha district of Nepal at the invite of the Gurkhas, the closest I got to visiting mainland China was a brief few weeks posting to Hong Kong many years ago.

Quite fancy going myself. We’ve got an open invite from the DILs relatives, but other commitments this year.

Besides, potential problem is their main house is way up in the mountains, above a height you get altitude sickness.

Still a bit wild here today. I was up near Lairg this afternoon and the wind and rain just funnels down the Kyle of Sutherland.

I was right about wading...most of the roads are flooded here. With the short drive to the shop this morning in 70mph winds and the sea washing along the road, I've got about 20lbs of kelp hanging from my suspension arms as well.

Most of mine are bordering on the irrelevant or totally off topic.

A bit of off topic and purely human banter between denizens of this forum just helps keep the place a bit lighter than reading through subjects on Topix.
