I know a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but the wealth of information on this forum has now made me a little suspicious.
Last night, I noticed that I could not hear the whirring of the F1 Pump when I unlocked/opened the drivers door on my 4200 CC (2004), although the car is driving very normally and certainly no issues with gear change or odd noises from the gearbox.
I am in noisy London and may be going deaf so I will find a quiet spot to double check if I can hear the pump, but in doing some research last night on this subject, lots of questions have come up - specifically does the F1 pump have run every time you unlock/open the door? (after a short period of time).
Based on the forum comments, I have just order a replacement F1 pump relay and will check the fuses (not sure which fuse) but then it seems I would need to change the F1 pump, but before doing this, what should I be looking for to work out the possible reason why the pump does not work (whir for 5 seconds) on opening the drivers door?
Any insight would be welcome.
Thank you
James
