Forum server settings changed

by xantia_v6 » Yesterday, 19:01 » in Forum News, Announcements and Issues

First post

Due to excessive server loading caused by some badly behaved 'bots' (automated content collectors), I have changed the anti-ddos settings on the site to be much more aggressive.

This has had the desired effect of reducing the server loading from 100% to about 10% (the other 90% was coming from just 8 IP addresses located in China).

There may...

Last post

I have been keeping an eye on the server performance, and the every 5 minutes same addresses would flood the forum with requests for a few seconds before getting blocked again.

In the last hour they seem to have got bored and gone away.

Lucas injection pump leak, a new fuel cap (bung) needed

by johnny625 » 17 Aug 2017, 23:12

First post

My XUD engined Xsara has developed a diesel leak on the injection pump. It leaks from the plastic cap on the front on the pump (the one that is used to access the max fuel screw).

Now when the car had some serious injection pump issues I took it to a diesel specialist who took a rather brute force approach towards unscrewing the cap using a...

Last post

Sure they sell these on evilbay now, I seem to remember getting one a few years back last time I screwed with a lucas pump. (at least, they have the plastic ones. metal would be better but not sure what thread it is sorry)

Kms / Miles flashing on Instrument Panel

by scotcruz » 14 Nov 2022, 20:28

First post

Hi folks,

I have recently replaced the RD45 radio with one of the Chinese 9 Android head units. It came with Raise canbus decoder and installation went fine.

The only issue is that the speedo keeps switching between kilometers and miles. I have tried selecting 307 from the list which works fine, however only volume button work on steering...

Last post

Only thing that may work is resetting it back to MPH then disconnect the instrument panel plug the new head unit in first & switch it on then re connect instrument panel at the end.
Are you sure you haven missed a setting? mines has a setting in the GPS menu for speed units & mines even displays the speed (in MPH) on the home screen as i drive...

2000 XM Front Window not working

by DHallworth » 02 May 2024, 22:15

First post

I've noticed since MOT'ing my XM that the front passengers side window doesn't work, nor does the electric wing mirror adjustment.

The central locking on the door does work though.

Does anybody have a wiring diagram that I could use to try and work out what is common between the window and the mirror? The VIN for my car is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]....

Last post

Just wanted to say thanks for these diagrams.

I didn't want to take the door card off so knowing where to test for power at the switches and test for continuity between the drivers door and the passengers door was a huge help.

In the end I took the passengers door card off and checked for power at the motor plug, there was power there so I...

Testing C5 Spheres with LHM

by yoseff » 04 May 2024, 00:44

First post

I have a sphere tester that is currently loaded with LHM

I have some spheres that will be fitted on a C5

Do you think it could be an issue to test the pressure of those spheres with LHM? I don't think the residue that will be on the spheres can pose a problem , but what's your thoughts on that?

Last post

I think Mark ir right on the extreme point that ideally we should not want any LHM contamination on LDS. It's however probably minimal, as before stated, almost all LHM will be put out by the pressure of the (good) sphere.
From what i've been reading , my thoughts gravitate to the side that it's less bad LDS on LHM than the opposite , so probably...

Does anyone know if the rear plastic cover can be removed in situ or will it not pass the feed pipe nuts? I took the top cover off but I couldn't see what was holding the rear part on
I'm trying to see where my leak is coming from before I plan my next move and I think it's somewhere under that cover

Last post

If you go into standard parameter measurements then you should be able to see the status of the two switches, and they should change together. However, I did a bit of a search on this code and it may in fact be related to the signal from the alternator. Is yours stop / start? Where did the replacement ECU come from?

1.6HDi glow plugs how important?

Do they play any important role in the HDi design beyond essential for (icy weather) cold starts?

Mine has it's glow plug relays out, possibly just one, garage man said not to worry, however I've noted for a while that my engine sounds unhappy on cold starts..

Last post

I wouldn't say that is unusual. Mine can take that long before it gets to normal operating temperature. It all depends on external temperature of course and how cold the engine is before it is started.

Citroen Jumper / Relay (2013) won't lock except for the driver door

I literally just got home with my 'new' second hand van, a Citroen Jumper from 2013 (called Relay in the UK it seems).
Only now at home I'm discovering the lock doesn't work! I can only lock the drivers door, which alone doesn't do much of course. I tied the passenger seat-belt around the passenger door in desperation for now 8-[

Last post

We took out the plating in the rear doors and we found a bunch of loose connections. I cannot find a connected wire to a sensor or actuator. Which is bad I'm guessing but also confusing, as from the other topic it sounds like disconnecting the wires would bypass the sensors.

On a side note, we got the passenger side to lock manually, using this...
