Finally got the boot trim fitted today, i found it very awkward getting those 4 pressed nuts off the back and ended up snapping parts of the plastic they attatch to on the chrome trim. Also I think i'll have to get some star washes or something as the red trim is not on snuggly using the old press on nuts. I think it looks better now though.

Hi Jim. A member had the same problem about 18 months ago. His 2.0 litre X Type Diesel would not start, and when he took it to a local dealer the bad news that he got was that the injectors and glow plugs needed changing -- and they could do that for only £1200 plus VAT. The good news was that he had the Terraclean service for £109 and the car never had that problem again. There is a Mobile mechanic in South Staffordshire who does the service : James Price -Mpbile technician/mechanic Telephone Number 07949 137629. He did the service on my drive on my 2.7 Diesel S Type. Regards, Peter.

At this rate you'll have cut all the wires before I get home from work. Have you ever worked in bomb disposal David? That was very much tongue in cheek by the way... please don't be offended :) I concur that the yellow wire(s) are not involved, being the SCP network bus. I was thinking about a different wiring concern... ooops. I also agree that the correct wire according to the diagram is a white / red to FC942. Using your photo for reference, it is the wire on the BOTTOM row, second position in from the RIGHT. That traces back to the ignition switch accessory function. If that is the wire you've cut then it should isolate the ignition controlled supply to the audio module. So I'm now at a loss as to why the radio still switches on. I think at this stage, I'd test for B+ on FC942 with the ignition off, then accessories, then on, just to test the function of the ignition switch. I would then keep checking FC942 with ignition OFF over a period of time. It should not ever become live with the ignition off, even after the periods of time you've mentioned. If I'm right, that would, in turn, suggest an intermittent B+ within the audio module. Further, if the ignition switch has produced B+ when switched off, all the other accessory circuits should be live as well. Have you checked that David? Figure 01.4 ( Ignition Switched Power Distribution: I (Accessory) ) will tell you what pother circuits are live on accessory. BTW, soldering or barrel crimps for re-joining. These are power supply wires so you don't want to take any risks. PLEASE do not use Skotchloks.
