Im really sorry i cant reply to everyone and i am overwhelmed by the amount of replies, i do really appreciate all the replies but im afraid i can address every comment. I have listed the car on ebay classifieds again, this time for £4650, that means if someone wants a little off i will accept...

You need to start high, its human nature and everyone wants money off, so it best to consider this on the price. Even if you price it more realistically, you still get dícks offering you stupid money. One of my fault is the mysterious once in a blue moon 'limp mode' fault, so it cant be fixed...

Ok mate thanks for your feedback. No harm asking Jay thanks for your suggestion' :thumb: Thanks. I have wrote as much as possible, my ebay advert was better to be honest, autotrader does restrict you with how much you can actually write in your advert. I have put up loads of pics too. Im...

i already wrote a reply, bloody got logged out and lost my post, i will reply later once i calm down:wallbash:

I bought my E280cdi 2007 sport in June. I never gelled with the car for some reason and due to different faults i lost faith in the car. I decided to buy something i found more interesting and with a more classic styling, a 2004 Jaguar xkr. I paid £5000 for my car in June 2016 which i would...

please dont post in any of my threads, take your chip and your shoulder and naff off.

more like you were stroking your own ego by ridiculing other people. :confused:

I did what Litcan suggested and called them up to check the part was suitable for my car, they confirmed it was, so i have ordered that same part off of the ebay listing. Many thanks for everyones help. I will post back once its fitted and hopefully its a thumbs up. :thumb: lewyboy, you...

Many thanks for the info and reply, i checked the link to ebay and it does not mention my specific model E280 cdi. Is it the same module for the OM642 engine? If it seems highly likely to be the cause, its probably not worth paying for a star diagnostic. Just buy one and fit. Is the part...

A couple of months ago i replaced the 6 glow plugs with the correct Beru ones, this took away the glow plug light that had been staying on. Now in this cold weather it taking a while to start, it coughs into life and puffs out unburnt diesel. I read this is more than likely the glow plug control...

Thanks for all your opinion guys. Its not loud enough to record. I dont have anyone around to rev the engine while i have a listen. I need to do a couple of small job on Monday so i will have a route about then.

Ok thanks for the info, ill have a wee listen ad see if its coming from the front of the engine or perhaps the turbo area. :thumb:

It does not sound like belts. That is what it sounds like to me. Ok cheers for confirming this mate :thumb: Ok cheers for confirming this mate ;)

Hi chaps I recently started to notice the turbo whistle every so slightly with normal easy driving, when i rev the engine in neutral you hear it slightly too, is this normal in the colder weather, im just looking for reassurance. :rolleyes:

I got the job done and many thanks to the helpful video which made it easy. The drivers side was fine but the passenger side was needing adjusting. The handbrake was right on the limit when retested at 16%. The chap said at some point i should check the condition of the shoes and drum as its not...

Im Scottish too so i could make you out just fine:thumb: Thanks for the tips of the brake pipes ill check them out while im in there. The 2nd video loads after the first one so ill watch them again before tackling the job. ;)

Many thanks sir. Is that your own video? If so good work :thumb:

Cheers mate. Ill look for a info on how to adjust. I wonder is the mot guy was perhaps light with the pedal or is there a limit to the pedal travel ?

Hey chaps. My e280 cdi 2007 failed its mot due to the parking brake not working sufficiently. I do have to press the pedal down far for it to grip properly but it does work if pressed hard enough. Do i just need to adjust it or does it sound like shoes or pads are needed. I have never dealt...

I will try manual again, i tried this already but it does not work trying to keep it in second because as soon as i hit 10mph it auto changes down by itself to 1st, thats the problem with manual mode, i cant hold it in a higher gear, it auto changes down depending on speed.
