First little hiccup at the weekend, depollution fault, eml on and limp home mod, Coil number 3 failed.

Luckily that's the only old style one on there so replaced and now all is well :)

And today a new issue! My reverse lights are on all the time!

Will go have a play at dinner time, i presume the plunger on the switch is sticking so ill take it out and clean it when i find where it is!

Still drives brilliantly and has towed the caravan happily a few times now, including up Garriby Hill which some cars struggle up without a caravan on! Didnt have to change down to maintain speed!

Its a brilliant engine, so flexible.

I would imagine that these modern diesels with their 'peaky' power delivery could make towing a bit tricky if you don't manage to maintain the right gear/revs combo. A big petrol engine will just haul itself along without much muss.
