It was the dimmer control thanks a lot Andy.

When i switch the headlights on the mileage counter and gear position lights on the cluster switch off, the center console lights are also affected. Has anybody else encountered this problem ? voyager 2006 2,8 crd

Ok,that sort of confirms that my boost problem is still present: code P0235

Is it safe to shift from to D to 3 or L whilst in motion or does the vehicle have to be at a standstill ?

I've got some noise coming from the rear how can you tell if it's these bushes or the shock/dampers ?

This is interesting since this is the first auto that i've owned,and i've got a steep incline as i leave the house,my 1,6 tdci goes up it no problem in 1st gear, the 2.8 crd struggles in D ,it manages better if I use the L position. The incline is roughly 10 metres high over 20 metres long (it's quite steep )

Thanks that was helpful although Im still trying to figure out : hbl - ? & blue hgn - ? & green

It couldn't be as simple as removing the starter and sticking this kit in ?

Sounds right ,it started first turn of the key today I let it run a bit,cut the motor,and then it wouldn't start again until i messed with the starter ground. And i can remember the same thing happening a few months ago. So the brushes have to be replaced ,is it do it yourselfable ?

Unplugged the earth connector on the starter a few times and that did the trick. I'm surprised how easy it was to unplug I'll try and pinching it a bit to create a better connection. Is it normal for the heater exhaust to smoke a bit on startup ?

I was reading a post on a French Chrysler forum just recently someone with the same engine had major starting issues similar to yours. He tried everything except the crankshaft of sensor, it turned out to be the crankshaft sensor ! I ll probably end up replacing mine.

I was looking at that Earth strap at thinking it looked a bit light ! How many earth points are there ?

Everything comes on fine electrically,I can't hear an alternator click from inside, I'll try again tommorrow,such a nice car yet full of Gremlins !!

Battery was at 12.66v i tested it just before attempting ignition.

Took it for a run yesterday, Engine light still on, it ran okay-ish. Today i tried to start,it coughed once then after that NOTHING !! clicking sound around the dash when i turn the key but it's not turning over !!

Could anyone help me to decipher the abbreviations on this wiring chart ? dbl - dark blue br - brown rs - rose hbl - hgn - ge- sw-

sorry to deviate slightly but whilst we're on the subject of relays could anyone tell me what this one is for ? Its down by the side of the battery.

I think one of these is glow plug relay not sure which.

my fuel pressure starting problems have improved dramatically since I stuck a big Battery in,I had to chop the tray and it's a tight fit but worthwhile. I'll be doing the button mod as well.

I just want some clarification -a bad fuel filter housing doesn't necessarily shows visual signs leaks or cracks? Someone on the forum mentioned that the ´internal membrane' could be defective ?

Can't go outside the weather's diabolical ! I was wondering since there's a connection from the MAP to the MAF could the missing MAF resistor cause the MAP to play up ?

Im following this as I have the same short. If your electrician finds it it would be useful to know the colour of the wire and the location.

Thanks Mike,when work commitments let me,I'll get back to you. In the diagram A36 refers to ECU ?

I received the new MAP sensor unfortunately the code P0235 is still there Her are the voltage readings i took engine at idle there was no change under acceleration.

'The old fuel filter housing had a membrane inside it that was damaged and we think that it was allowing air into the system. ' This is interesting,everyone who's had a faulty filter housing mention cracks and visual leaks and traces of diesel. Mine looks fine from the outside how can i tell if the membrane in is knackered ? Could a non return valve be put on the fuel line ?
