  1. Sounds more like a connector to the seat belt pretensioners under the seat.

    Try moving the seat to a different position with the ignition off and then switch the ignition on to see if it has cleared.
    If so the its the connectors under the seat

  2. I'm not sure if the engine is safe once the chain has gone and chances are the pistons have hit the valves
    I would turn the crank so that the pistons are midway down the bores (remove plugs to check this is the case) and then I would turn the cam(s) cautiously to ensure there is free movement.
    If not possible on any of these actions then chances are it has lunched the engine

  3. It will be quite a bit of money to replace the fluid (with the correct original spec fluid) and original equipment (or equivalent spec) filter
    Rough guess £150 to £200 all in

  4. There is radio decoding software out there (and even Facebook has quite a few links to people who can supply you with a number) but either way you will need the serial number from the unit which means removing it from the dashboard (unless you have it written down somewhere)

  5. With the ignition switched OFF, insert the ignition key into the front passenger airbag switch, located in the glove box. Press the key and turn it to the OFF position.

    or also mentions that there is a switch on the passenger end of the dashboard which can be viewed with the door open

     

  6. It could be battery condition if it is that old so worth starting with a test and replace if necessary

    Also worth checking all earth leads from the battery onto the engine and transmission back to the chassis.
    If any of these are corroded or broken that could cause the problem

  7. Crikey that's an unusual fault. 
    I wonder why the pump went out of timing - either something is worn (timing chain) or it was incorrectly timed in the past and was on the threshold and then dropped off the edge
    Thank you for sharing the rectification of this fault....you never know, someone else may benefit from it in the future.

  8. Look on EuroCarParts website where you can put your registration number in and look up flywheel and see what it is described as

    Welcome to put screenshot of your findings on here and we can look to see if it is DMF
