Check the mass dampers on the rear struts. They should be softly sprung, and not loose any floppy. |

Sounds like an internal gearbox issue.
It's probably best to simply replace it with a second hand one. |

Hi. My FL2 2014 plate emits a high pitch whine and ticking noise when engine is shut down. Can last for half an hour.
The ticking is a solenoid type noise with a regular pattern.

It needs a diagnostic read to determine what is causing the issue. DSC will shut down if several items fail. It'll normally be Haldex or brake related, but a diagnostic is the only way to tell for sur ... |

Thanks Ian, it sounds like an impeller rattling around then stops after a few mins.

You'd need to upload it to YouTube, then link the video here. |

From what I've found on the DW12, it's a PSA engine, Ford's input was probably financial and technical, rather than in the manufacturing process.
There's nothing typically Ford about the actual engi ... |

@Nodge68, is that from a Renault? If memory serves, a member here had fitted one a while back. If it is do you have the part №?

I can't remember what it's from, or even where I got it. I'll look out the invoice though, as I need another soon. |

That's a good question. LifePO4 has very similar voltage characteristics to lead acid. I don't know how the electrical system will respond when the battery's own BMS shuts down charging when the batte ... |

Here's my rear wiper, which I think is very neat.
Apologies for the dirt, but the roads are filthy around my way.
I also need a replacement blade, as mine is splitting at the ends.

The old Pug diesel was a great engine.
Had 205, 305 and 405 diesels - really easy to work on.
When I worked at a Citroën main dealer, the engines were fine, actually all the mechanical parts were ... |

Can you recycle old Li- ion batteries?
You get back money back for your old lead/acid battery at metal recyclers - 95-99% of a lead car battery can be recycled.
