It could be a misaligned thrust bearing. You really need someone who's heard one before to diagnose that definitively either way.

@deano23 I'm also having thoughts about the actual failure being in/with the starter inhibitor switch. I'd certainly have started there rather than loading the parts cannon with big expensive stuff like battery, starter motor and gearbox!

How they could tell that when the slave cylinder is inside the bell-housing and not visible...

OK:- Is the outside temperature sensor reading reliably and believably. Have you got the Climate set on "recirc(ulate)"? When the fan cuts in, can you get air through any selected combination of vents?

OK, I see your point, but, if the NFV seemed reasonable when you took out the finance, and when the contract ends the NFV proves higher than expected, it's easy to believe this means that the depreciation was lower than expected rather than that you have paid more interest than was necessary. Personally, I see a PCP as "how to spend say 60% of the value of a car over a term and never actually own the car".

Yes, just like when mine popped an upper pipe after a cambelt change. With a loss of power and major black smoke.

Well, that or the ignition switch.

You can also pop an "upper boost pipe", so you need to check every connection point from turbo to intake manifold...

There's what looks like 13 lines of tracking cluff after the first line that reads "GetAttachmentThumbnail?" Who are you using for photo-hosting?

My point was that the presence (and flashing) of the LED is not related to the presence or absence of an alarm system.

It's also fitted and flashes on cars with no alarm system.

Big hint; the A/C will be disabled below 4C.

There are new inventions, called "telephone" and "e-mail" that let you communicate at a distance from your own home or workplace...

Yeah but naw but yeah but naw but... I like good grip to help you out with a mistake, but no to the extent of destroying the ride with 20% Carlos Fandango Drift Specials.

NO!! The stated 1_400kg is the maximum tare weight of the loaded trailer.

Exactly so Lady E; they are almost exactly the same colour as NATO formation marker lights on aircraft, known as slime lights for the colour.

And that's why I said to return it; it's blowing enough extra petrol into the lubricating oil to make the oil level rise.

No it isn't. It is a different size though, hence the speed restriction. As for pressure, I'd set the 3 bar from page 104 in the manual; you can let it down a bit easier than you can pump 0.7 bar in.

Throw it back; anything else I was going to say was about diagnosing a fuel leak into the oil system. Given the stated history, "don't buy trouble!!"

It's normally in the left side grille, near the horn. And I only just read the question!

And the "slime lights"? (on the car)

Could it be ambient temperature, range -5 to +5 C?

As above, and note that a Carlos Fandango Megagrip Drift may be a different diameter to a Woosung Dark Spin, even if they're both declared as, say 235/35R17Z

As up thread, this is normal for a diesel engine, even in a brand new delivery miles car.
