Hi All,
Just joined the forum as I have bought a 1998 V 1.9(flat)diesel Scudo at the weekend.
It's got a couple of problems with it, but nothing major (I THINK!! )
When I viewed and collected the van, the fella selling it showed me a bit of a problem when starting it - 7 times out of 10 it starts first time, but there are occassions when you have to jiggle a electrical connection in the engine bay, I assume taht this has something to do with the immobiliser, because I can hear a clicking noise in what looks like an immobiliser box to the side of the engine bay. Once I hear that click, it starts fine:slayer:
Obviously I don't want to spend the rest of my life jiggling this connection, but don't want to be fleeced by an auto-electrician baffling me with science!! Is it easy enough to repair connections in these vans - would i need a soldering iron or anything specialist??
Also the heaters don't work at all - I have read somewhere that the heater motor goes on these vans, is this true?? Is there any tests I can carry out to eliminate motor failure??
Other than that, it's great - except the age old locks spinning problem....
Cheers for any help/advice,
MC
