Paul, you car has quite a few warning lights, which symbols are lit up?

jacksun1987 · Post by **jacksun1987** » Wed Nov 10, 2010 5:08 pm

the stop one and i think the hydrolic one. But its been ok latley.

So nothing to do with running out of fuel.

Those lights that you mention would only ever come on if the lhm level was low, or if the sensor is dodgy. Have you checked the lhm level? If not do you know how to do this?

Yes ive toped it up the concern is that it came on when i toped it up.

As far as i'm aware the lights shouldn't come on even if you overfilled it, the worst that should happen is that some lhm would spill out of the main green lhm tank. You've either not put enough in, or you have a leak that keeps emptying the level in the tank even though you thought you'd topped it up?? or a dodgy sensor that i've already suggested.

When you put the suspension on high, whereabouts does the orange disc sit in the see through tube on the lhm tank? There should be a couple of red marks where the orange disc should be between if the amount of lhm is correct.

You know the 2 lines where you top it up. Its always below them 2 lines.

I thought it was the hydrolic fluid, So i put some in it. Then as i was comming from work to home. The light went on and off againe.
Dont get it how does that relate to running out of diesel ?

Paul !
From the /\ 'kiwi' quote, can you not see that by continuing the posts Re your SUSPENSION PROBLEMS in this thread it's confused some forum members

I suggest you go back into the other thread so as not to muddy the waters

P.S. How are the Green chutney sandwiches ?

Paul, there you go then, if the orange disc is below the 2 lines whilst its on the highest suspension setting , its low on lhm, keep pouring lhm in & stop when the disc rises upto the level thats between the 2 lines.
