Guest bassman Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 Morning Folks, As I said before, totally new to the gal, and need a bit of assistance please. 1. As before, when first applying brakes, (after being stopped overnight etc) on gentle application, quite fierce Quote
Guest greenfingers Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 1) Got to be a faulty brake servo. Quote
NikpV Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 3. Red light on top of driver door (something to do with alarm?) comes on for short time, the goes off after a few minutes.(remote locking does not work, although light work on key) first port of call here - I would check the wires in the rubber boot between the door and car the insulation breaking down and shorts - the wires become brittle and break Quote
Andrew T Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 Motor running noise will be the coolant run-on pump, shuts off after about 15 mins. The idea is it keeps circulating the coolant after switching off to prevent hotspots. Quote
tim-spam Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 I think you may have a problem with your ABS system - it sounds as if the system 'thinks' you have a locked wheel. Perhaps one of the toothed wheels has come adrift? Quote
Guest bassman Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 Thanks Guys, Off to Gibraltar at the weekend, (freebie flight, perks of working for an airline!) but will have a good look at all suggested areas when I return. thanks again, Ray Quote
MadBaz Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 2. I have just noticed, again, after first start, for few minutes, a repeating Quote
El Dingo Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 My opinions...1. ABS problem - well documented on this forum.2. I think this is the auxilliary coolant pump; they can get very noisy when they are about to expire. Again, well documented. However, when mine failed, I noticed it because it went quiet (had stopped). Easy to find under the bonnet. Hope you enjoyed Gibraltar! Quote

Red light on top of driver door (something to do with alarm?) comes on for short time, the goes off after a few minutes.(remote locking does not work, although light work on key) If the LED comes on for about 3 seconds when the ignition is turned on, this is normal. :D If it lights continuosly for 1 minute then flashes, (PATS fault code, 10 times) then it needs plugging in to rds2000 at dealer. :D If it flashes continuoously for 1 minute (then flashes some more (fault code)) you'll not be able to start the engine. :D Quote
