So thanks to all the help on here, I have:
- Successfully reinstated the blower fan relay supply (and now know where the master fuses are)
- Replaced EGR / MAF / turbo actuator (car now runs how it should)
- Done a full service - including the pollen filter (parts are suprisingly cheap - £100ish for all filters and oil)
My last 'running gear' issue is a dreaded unidentifiable clonk and rattle when travelling at low speed.
Having read everything on here (that I can find) I have done the easy stuff:
- droplinks
- gearbox mount
but it still persists. It mainly happens when some lock is applied and the car travels over a rough surface (e.g. cobbles) - a clonk and metallic rattle that comes from either side of the car depending on which way the wheel is turned (it makes the same noise on both sides). When I go over road humps in the straight ahead position, it's fine.
The most bizarre thing is that when travelling slowly down an undulating road, you can hear something squeaking rhythmically.
Its fine at higher speeds.
I think its the engine moving, but haven't ruled out suspension items.
The next item to try is the rear engine mount (being an XTR it means removing the tray etc). Various posts I've seen seem to imply its a bit of a job. Any tips or other thoughts on what it could be?
Thanks all
