Can I ask another question? If the abs sensor had failed would it not bring up an ABS fault on the dashboard ?

Thanks for the replies guys , I meant to add that the odometer is not registering miles either . Van is not being used at the moment so it’s not doing any miles anyway . It’s really frustrating when you use a code reader but it doesn’t actually tell you what the exact problem is!!😂 Which wheel is the speed sensor located on ?

Hi guys , my Speedo is not working and the engine management light is on . fault code po 500. I had my mechanic check the wiring to the conversion chip , he says it is ok . what would be my next move , replace the chip ? not really sure where to go next , only £70 for new chip , im thinking its worth a punt . Any ideas welcomed 👍🏻

What made you think the offset would be the same ? It might be , I do t know , but it’s critical that it is , you just can’t bang on a set of wheels from another manufacturer without knowing the offset .

I got my multi meter out , alternator charging as normal , leisure g battery charging as it should . Totally weird ,it wasn’t charging at all on holiday , do t understand it .

Thanks for the offer , I will check it out to see if that is the problem . lll need to get the multi meter out and see what is going on with it . I’ll be in touch if the alternator is knackered thanks

We are just back from a 2600 miles trip through France and in to Italy back up through the alps . It was a great holiday , however the Alphard has come back with a bit of battle damage ! one of the radiator fans seized in the south of France , not good in the blistering heat . I reckon the alternator isn’t putting out enough volts , as mh dc - dc charger stopped working . Then to top it all off when back in Blighty we hit a huge pothole on the A1M , which burst the front strut !!😡 The thing is it came from Japan on lowered bilsteins , I’m having a real time finding a replacement . I might have to replace the whole lot ! Apart from all this we had a great time 😂

Thanks Chris , I was hoping it was this 👍🏻 I took some in my hand yesterday it had no smell , so I was pretty sure it was water . the air con in the back has been running full time , it’s not usually on I think this is why I hadn’t noticed it before .

It might be worth a look it actually a rear conversion , I checked everything apart from the water bottle . I was paranoid it was petrol tank will have a look in the morning thanks for your help 👍🏻

Hi guys we are currently on holiday on the south of France . after sitting stationary for two hours on the motorway after an accident I heard a clunk from the engine compartment , the temp started going up . cut a long story short one of the fans is knackered , I have unplugged it , the other one is fine . I reckon I will be ok with the one fan on hopefully. However I noticed another problem when I got to the campsite I noticed a drip coming from the area behind the back wheel drivers side , any ideas what this could be ? Sorry if this is a bit of a ramble it’s been a very stressful 10 hour journey 😵

I bought a scanner but it didn’t actually give me the exact problem. it could of been vacuum leak , o2 sensor or maf . I took a chance on a second hand maf on eBay for £30 , took 5 minutes to fit , no more engine light . might be worth removing the maf sensor and giving it a proper clean , I reckon that would actually of fixed my problem, no need to buy a new one .

I think this is the one I have , it’s really well made and the guys that sell it are great . I thought it would be as easy to assemble as an ikea chest of drawers …. It wasn’t ! I took it back and got them to do it for me 😂 the only thing I still need to get is the cushions , the guy next door to first cut makes them , they were £300 I’m sure , I thought that was a bit too steep

No one at all got 18” wheels ?

It requires a good push down to fully engage I only use it when actually parking up . At lights I always leave an automatic in drive and just hold it on foot brake no need to knock it into neutral this is only mh opinion others may disagree 😎

They are directional , they are fitted correctly , I went with the higher load rating when I bought them , due to the Weight of the vehicle . I think the company that imported it out the bigger wheels on it .
