Checking the fuses was the first thing I did, and all was OK. Then I thought that a blown fuse was unlikely due to the dashboard glow control check light coming on momentarily when the ignition is intially turned on.

Can anyone tell me where the glow control box is located, as I suspect mine is u/s as this morning I only just got a start, and the glowplug light on the dash went out instantly. This fault is reminisant of a P405 TD car I had some time ago, and it was found the glow control relay points had burnt o...

Hello, Can anyone advise if it is possible to program a s/h remote keyfob to a 406 d9 to which it didnt previously belong to. As I only have the non remote central locking key at present, but I recently came across a working P406 keyfob from a trip to the scrapyard. I have with the car a credit card...

The trip computer has never worked since I got the car, although you cant expect too much from a car that only cost £150. Its done just over 200K and I have done a lot of work on it to date. As it is well economical on diesel if your careful, and quick as well (if you need a turn of speed, though ob...

I must confess I feel a right numpty head now, as when I went to put the plastic trim back over the fusebox last night I thought I would have one last look at all the fuses, but this time with a powerful torch, low and behold if a 10A fuse wasnt blown, :shock:. It wasnt immediently apparant it had b...

I had a quick look at the fuses and all was OK, so its all pointing towards this BSI device. I think that for now I will have to live this fault provided the BSI does not degrade any further.
Thanks for the information.

Thats exactly what I am thinking that its not receiving any electrical power when the ignition is off, causing it to reset to the default (as new settings). When the ignition is on there is not a problem. The battery is known to be OK as I had to replace it shortly after geting the car. A bodge up s...

I recently bought a good s/h towbar kit for my P406 hdi estate from a scrap yard, however the four captive nuts that held it to the boot floor rails were past it. I thought these items would be easily obtained from a main stealer. Apparently it turns out that the captive nuts are only available when...

I have a 406 110 hdi estate on a W plate. I have recently noticed a rather anoying problem with the centre console display above the radio. It recently stopped working, when the ingition is turned on the date is reset to 01-01-99 (and constantly flashes), the outside air temp is the only other item ...
