    Hi Jason. A timely update as sometimes these threads never mind the people get lost. So good to hear that you're continuing on your journey and that you have upcoming nuptials to prepare for. All the best for your future together.
  2. Mines is an automatic with EDC. I'm looking for the easiest/simplest way of doing it as I'm not that mechanically minded. Anywhere on the EDC Boost pressure system I could use instead? Picture courtesy of Haynes!Sorry for double post.

  4. I'm in the middle of doing thus just now & ordered a part to use the plenum chamber. Could someone tell me if this is proper part? Thanks in advance from a trainee!

    A day or an hour at a time, it will take as long as it takes. Don't try rushing it as you're only putting pressure on yourself. Paul

    Jason, another stranger with admiration for your honesty; it's all too easy using another illness to cover up depression. I too am finding things very difficult just now but take one day at a time & strength from my wife and kids. The 'Black Dog' , (google it), is an unwelcome friend. Take care and rest, your body & mind need time to heal. P

    Brake woes

    Thanks for the feedback. Fiddled about with sensors on both front hubs and light went out as it should. Didn't really feel as if they moved much though? However, the no movement of the brake pedal reared its ugly head. Interestingly, when I feathered the pedal it would then brake as normal but, the light came back on. Looks like new sensor(s) needed.

    Brake woes

    Oh dear. It's a '98 300 tdi auto. I'm going to check the sensors are seated properly. Will post back result. Paul
  9. Have the 'ABS light won't go out problem'. Also have the problem that the light will go out but, that then causes a BIG scare; Now, the light is normally always on & brakes work well but, occasionally it goes out. When this happens there appears to be no pedal movement & there's a terrible grating noise & 'scratchy' feeling in the pedal & no brakes. If I come off the brake & press it straight away there is normal pedal movement & feeling. I've replaced all 4 callipers, discs & pads & still have the problem. It's bloody frightening when it happens. Any help greatly appreciated. Paul
  10. Any chance you could post the English version on here? May come in handy for some. P
  11. Problem solved. Tried starting again with the jump leads and same response, no starting. As soon as I earthed it on the block it went first time. The only thing I have to do now is repair it! Thanks for the input. P
  12. Thanks for the replies. Once the howling wind & rain stops I'll investigate further. P
  13. Thanks for the reply, will check my earth lead. Out of interest, how could this be rectified, assuming this is the problem? Is it just a case of relocating the earth strap? P
  14. I can't get mine started to go out to play....
