Having been there and done this, I really must make up a charge cable (fused lower than that the cigarette lighter socket!).

Normally it will flash up far too quickly to get a picture (and unsafe to do so anyway). The fault will be logged in the Steering module.

Mine was a '14 plate, and it was replaced about 22 months ago (so at about 3 years old). I don't know what was fitted to mine, but when I take it in later in the month, I can try and find out... assuming the dealer will be forthcoming with part number / part revisions.

Mine is due back in for a secondary (under warranty, hopefully) fix. The current pump lasted 50k miles. Remember replacement parts carry a 2 year warranty, so this could get expensive for the dealers is they keep fitting rubbish pumps.

Mines going back in for a "diagnostic". As the pump is just under 2 years old, it should be covered by their parts and warranty.... assuming they accept it is the fault of the pump. £144 for the diagnostic, which as far as I can see involves reading the fault codes. #simplythieves

Mine stuck again this morning. Looks like the "new" pumps are only good for about 50k, 2 years. #simplycrap

I was thinking about mounting mine (has it for years and never fitted it). It occurred to me that I should be able to fit in inside the glovebox, next to the light.... has anyone else done that? Haven't removed anything or check the ability to route cables yet though.

D - is that right at the right at the back of the car? I had wondered along running along under the door skills, but I wasn't sure how they came up....

I was able to squeeze through a blackvue rear camera cable (with plug) and the reverse camera cable (sans plug). Was awkward getting a square plug up through all the ribbed bit for sure. Was starting to evaluate my life choices in cold! Next step try and cable the along the roof lining. Can you drop it at the grab handles?

I drilled a 1/16 hole, and gently screwed in a small screw. Gripped it with a pair of pliers and pulled it. Success. I then popped the main bit out and it vanished onto the garage floor. Found it 5 minutes later under the car! Now I just need to work out how to get the inner white plastic sections of the flexi-rubber cable hoses off... I removed the rubber before and it look me ages to get that back on and that was with an extra pair of hands!

I'll look out my sharpest drill bit! Had also wondered about a stud extraction tool as well, but I don't think they go small enough.

I'm wondering if I could drill out out.... saves having a piece of plastic (x2) rattling around inside the tailgate for ever!

I've seen those things.... will see how much damage I cause tomorrow!

I had my pump replaced "under warranty" on my 2014 when it was just over 3yrs/60kmiles. Twice in the last couple of weeks the overheat has come back. The first instance was after a hill climb shortly after setting off from cold (overnight), so the normal conditions - a few flats miles and then a quick hill climb and it can't release faster enough. The second was a 2 days ago. 15 minutes into a trip, started from cold (been parked up all day), about 3 miles to the motorway (at about 30-40mph), and then onto the motorway with a nice steady cruise at 70. Overheat pinged up, I pulled over onto the hardshoulder and watched the gauge drop from 130 to 90 in steps (probably over about 60-90seconds) and then it remained happy for the rest of the trip. As I had my cambelt replaced last time, I guess that means it is next due at about 60+120 = 180k miles (just hit 110k).

Maybe not the most the most of clear titles. I need too remove the plastic internal trim on the inside of the estate. I've got the larger plastic section off (so that I could fit a reversing camera), but I've not yet figured how to remove the "n" shaped trim which goes around the glass edge. Given the cooler temperatures I figure I should do this carefully, so as not to break anything. I guess those who have fitted cameras and routed the cable with the flexi pipes into the car should know this.... Any hints? Thanks :-)
