Afternoon all, Just looking for some pointers. I’ve changed the battery on my DCi, hoping it was just maybe the volts dropping. When the cars been sat for a long period of time (overnight mainly) I get the battery and STOP light flickering as I drive off. The light flickering only lasts for...

So, I’ve changed the battery and I still get a little ‘battery/STOP’ light coming on, just first thing in the morning, when the cars been stood. The light flickers on and off though, it’s not constant.. so obviously that tells me there’s a loose wire somewhere? But I’m confused because it goes...

Cheers for the offer buddy, but I’ll just get new ones for the price of them. I’ve been too lazy to buy them, I’ve still got my new battery in the boot of the car ? I’m just driving around with it in the boot!

Yup, it needs a couple of bits, which I’ve priced up..£88; discs/pads and 2 front springs ? So I could do the whole car for less than a cambelt change cost

Yup, it’s all gates items - and that’s everything replaced, tensioner etc. I’m still tempted to just book a long weekend off work and give it a go. £370 is half the value of the car.. ?

I’ve just had a quote of £370 to change the belt/water pump/ alternator belt and coolant. Not bad for a guaranteed job? ??‍♂️

Aren’t they strengthening plates for the shell? Theyre around the seatbelt holes, to make it stronger.

Just stick a blank on IMO. The car will puff a little more, but it’ll run better.

That’s strange, the annoying thing is - anything 2nd hand is hard to judge, it could well still be the issue. I’d probably take it back off, take the live off the battery too, give the EGR a good soak in petrol and make sure the valve is free moving, then stick a blank on and plug it back in.

Surprised you didn’t just put a blank on the EGR. That’s what I’ll be doing. I wouldn’t worry about the car smoking a bit either, they are getting on a little now. How far have you been driving the car? If it’s short drives then it will get quite sooty. I put some fuel additive in every now...

Nope ???? I haven’t got one, but it’s peace of mind for me by changing it anyway. That’s a good price! I REALLY want to do the belt myself, but im still considering giving it to my mates garage to do, again, for peace of mind ? I’d have a go if it was a project car etc - but I’ve not tackled...

Just a small update. After securing the battery properly, I’ve still been having the battery light come on for the first 10-15 seconds on a cold start, after being sat overnight. So I think the battery is dropping below a certain charge. As the light soon goes out and doesn’t re-appear for...

I think it would be a good idea to post this in the Wales section also, if it gets numbers up.

Brilliant news! You should write up a quick guide on swapping the barrels etc.
