Thanks guys. I'm heading home from work early this afternoon, I'll try all the above. If it's a no-go still I'll ask the AA to take me to Nottingham, then brace myself for some ridiculous price from the garage. Still, the car does look nice. ha

I was worried I'd ruled out the cheap fixes and that might be the case. I haven't checked the level.. Do I just take the top of the reservoir next to the pump and look in? cheers, will

Now I'm concerned/disheartened. Just fitted a new BMW ABS relay - Rick, if you still want to swap the other one I'm game - I have no use for the 4 pin one so a spare would be good. I still didn't hear it prime as I unlocked the car or opened the door. Long story short, nothing seems to have...

Definitely!

OK, all bets are off for me finishing this before the rugby. That Alfa Relay (11130287) is 4 pin and doesn't fit. Just spent an hour ringing round trying to replace it with a BMW ABS relay.. but no luck. I'll have to order it and wait till Monday. At least at £10 its not going to break the...

Oh man, that would have been soooo much easier haha!!!

OK guys. I just took the boot lining and ally tray out etc (going to need a bit of thought getting the tray back in as someone has damaged it on one,side and on the other side despite unloading litres of releasing agent on it, the bolt sheared - but that's a problem for later) I tested with...

The bits should arrive today. I'm praying that I get a window of good weather before the rugby tomorrow morning! Out of interest why do they call it the F1 Pump?

Thanks Gp79 - that's a pretty comprehensive set of instructions! Catman, I tried it again this evening, and you're right. The cc light is flashing. That combined with the lack of priming noise feels fairly conclusive? So as a start just for confirmation I'll connect 12v direct to the pump and...

I have a cheap OBD2 reader, thats served me well on other cars - could I confirm the F1 pump with that? Would the pump bring up a DTC?

OK, so I'm swinging towards F1 Pump. I had a very swift poke around and can't actually feel the brake light switch(es). Is it located behind the top of the brake pedal arm? I didn't search for it too hard for two reasons: 1. The brake lights work OK - Catman's point of this not necessarily...

Thanks Everyone! I'm currently away for Mothers day, but when I'm back I'll investigate with the doors shut, bonnet definitely shut, and I'll check the brake lights. I'm pretty certain that it used to start with the doors open, but I'll check anyway to see if it makes a difference. I'll...

oh wow, the picture worked then haha!

Not sure if the above will work but I tried to attach a picture.. its in neutral - if the above does't work! Thanks so much for the advice, it's really appreciated! best regards, will

Hello, I think perhaps I ought to start a new thread, but this seems like it may be related so I'll add this here.. I have an '04 4200 Cambiocorsa with circa. 60k miles. A few Thursdays ago it was absolutely fine. Then on the Friday morning: nothing. When I put the key in everything lights...
