toby - if you do find out that it's the ABS Control Module - I had mine reconditioned by Essex Recons down in Dagenham, it cost me £150 quid and every bit as good as I new one I believe

Thanks. It cranks but does not fire, though it doesn't do anything with a flat battery

I've had it suggested that a CTEK can't charge a flat battery and I may need a 'normal' charger. I am not sure but I will see if Lidl has anything on offer today. 2012 Vogue TDV8 in Aintree green over sand

A friend is lending me her charger tomorrow but i can't see what difference it will make.

The dash is flashing whilst connected to the charger so I have removed the negative lead to the battery.

A friend loaned me this charger and I think the battery is taking charge. It has a handy bluetooth connection to an app for live data. It has not errored so far but I will give it a bit longer and connect the battery on Friday.

In other news, the insurance renewal has come through: £486 up from £430 with esure. I tried the usual sites and the minimum elsewhere is £510. Direct Line declined to quote.

Hmm. Why on Earth is it so expensive? - it's not far off 10% of its overall value (if it was working, of course). FFS it's a 13-year-old car! 2012 Vogue TDV8 in Aintree green over sand

Nice one

With the borrowed charger I have a lot more volts than the CTEK could achieve. I am grateful for the suggestion.

Today I decided to plug in the GAP tool after a few hours charge today. No flickering lights on the dash, at least, but some new codes. TBH, I am putting these down to low battery voltage still. The fuel pump error piqued my interest but alas, even this excellent forum does not return any result for the code when I searched.

I inquired about resetting this pump on a 405 post, but I do not even have the option in my GAP tool.

in any event I have decided to leave the poor weather and take a month in sunnier climes, so I will not be revisiting this until April, at the earliest. I am still undecided whether to renew the insurance due to this, but I probably will. Even an immobile L322 could catch fire, right?

One year of ownership today. I couldn't find any other company cheaper than esure so it renews today.

What I find surprising is this thread has over 20,000 views. I am still working from warmer climes and not back for a few weeks yet, but I'd be lying if I said the absence has made my heart grow more fondly for it.

I'll have a go at most jobs that do not require a lift, but it's not knowing what's broken that is the most annoying part, especially as it ran before my grubby mitts started on it.

This forum is a great resource though and it is a massive help. There is one other thread with a similar-sounding issue but the poster has not returned for a few months with an outcome.

I'd like to declare 'it will run again!' but I am not taking anything for granted. 2012 Vogue TDV8 in Aintree green over sand

Your non-start issue only began after you changed the fuel pressure sensor and did something to its wiring. I would revisit that wiring. MY21.5 D350 Vogue SE Carpathian Grey

And the upper HPFP pipe to the rail. I've been researching more elsewhere and in the W.M. and I think I am drawing up a structured plan to follow. To be continued... 2012 Vogue TDV8 in Aintree green over sand
