Re: Well it's pouring instead of raining... Gearbox!
If you are happy to accept little bit of rattling, sometimes flywheel can last like that for few more years. Just keep an eye on it, see how badly it will or will not progress. It must be at early stages if you haven't noticed it before.

Re: Well it's pouring instead of raining... Gearbox!
Plus with single mass flywheel all vibrations from engine are directly transferred to gearbox, which again reduces gearbox lifespan.
After single mass flywheel conversation and lot people reported immediate gearbox rattling in neutral and clutch released.

Re: Well it's pouring instead of raining... Gearbox!
Could be multiple things, clutch release bearing, gearbox itself. If clutch plate has issues usually will show up as slipping clutch.

Blown head gasket 99%. In short words, compression getting pushed into cooling system, that's causing airlock usually in heater core hoses, because they are highest point in cooling system, airlock stops coolant flow, that's why you get no heat coming from blower. Should have quite hard coolant hose...

Re: How do I disable H/L levelling?
Most likely you some how will need to get to the bottom of this problem. Because if auto headlight levelling is fitted from factory, it must work on MOT test, otherwise it's a test failure. Good luck with getting it sorted.

Calm down... So you know there will be no errors? I will do a scan. I can try disconnecting both headlights but would rather fix than fudge. More effort for both lights than sensor? Also seems likely to be a bad connection because of warning, then not bobbing up and down. As if sensor disconnected ...

Re: How do I disable H/L levelling?
Bloody hell, why you keep disconnecting sensors, but don't disconnect actual hight leveling motors in headlights? It will stop self leveling for sure.
Or get it fault scanned, might be it will show where's the problem.

Re: 2.0tdi executive catastrophic breakdown! (Arnold Clark)
International shortage of ECU. Getting broken too often, supplier can't manage to produce them. Just joking
Hopefully it's a week's questions to get it supplied from Germany, if no branches have it in UK.

I can confirm the alternator bearing is working as it should but the sound came back with a vengeance. I did notice it wasn’t happening all the time on full lock just most of the time.

Dirty contacts shouldn't turn brake lights on randomly thought.BIG F@ TW@ wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 1:42 pm Good cheap fix if it works.
I replaced one a few years ago, took the old one apart and cleaned up the contacts, refitted and took the replacement one back. Simples. All it is is copper contacts that get furred up over time.
