help - before I phone LRA
car started a treat this morning (all covered in ice)
but then I noticed the heat screen didn't want to stay on for more a few second, then i noticed the temp gauge had gone through the roof, rev counter not working and in limp mode along with t/c light and battery light - but no engine management light?

any thoughts MAF sensor ?

I'd say thats an electrical issue. if you dont have a diagnostic tool then dealer it is.

battery is only 4 months old so I hope not - plus engine started no trouble.

re elec problem.....hmm after only 4 months one of the electrical connections in the rear o/s some are using for aux sockets in the back fell off ! - due to corrosion!!!

My wife's Subaru's battery lasted 3 days from new in a hot Perth summer on a new vehicle, it happens.

just got back.
the battery appears to be fine. the engine starts without any hesitation - albeit in limb / reduced power

the earther terminals are apparently all ok - LRA checked.

LRA been doing this 10+ yrs never seen anything like it Shocked
nor any of his mates Shocked Shocked

so high temp gauge, no heated front screen (well only for a second or 2), no rev counter, battery light and tc light remain on?

so lap top plugged in and it can't link up to the ecu ? doesnt recognise the engine?

so just dropped it off at the dealers for them to play Sad

will let you know when I know more but in the mean time if anyone else has had similar would love to know?

Very Happy yes amazing they've let me have a RR Vogue V8 - fantastic engine!

only joking I can do without it for a couple of days (good excuse to get on the bike and save some fuel and get fit).

can't wait to find out what the problem was though?

sent email to dealers but no reply Sad

can't wait to find out whats gone wrong. I've got a bad feeling about the wiring loom though - hopefully the plug connector that FELL off due to corrosion Shocked was a one off and the rest is fine
