hey Steve , that's the best bit , !!! lololol
My 2001 has extractors on her .
The sensor is totally exposed ... an easy fix ..
Call me a little V8 dumb ( I am an old 96 Diesel owner ) :-) but ....
I wondered why it was so exposed then I realized that the exhaust is not standard ... these extractors are way swept down away from the sensor , so it is really easy to see and get too

Chit , something has to start to go my way mate !!!
Today again 3 times stuck on the road side ... engine dead , work trailer on the back , all seemed again a total pain in the arse !!

...but the water cooling thing got her going in ten minutes !!

I am going to stay happy and just deal with it and wait till the new sensor shows up monday or tuesday ...

and thank my luck stars I still can go to work mate .
.. thanks to all again !!!

cheers
Steve

Great to hear, mate. Let us know the outcome.

**sierrafery** · 10th July 2015, 01:13 AM

Result then

, you have the answer now but better get a barbecue air blower and cool the sensor with it(switch it on and let it there in a position to blow on the sensor) instead of water cos excessive water ingress in the sensor can let you in a complete no start situation

Well the switch turned up early .
Fitted it .
The thing wont fire at all now ... turns over but wont fire ?

weird thing is now the 4 hazard lights are flashing non stop ?
Think I will need to pull a fuse to stop the dam things ?

Anyone know why the darn hazards would come on the first time I tried to fire her with the new switch ?

hellllpppp !!!

Did you bump the enertia switch on the fire wall.the little black button

**sierrafery** · 10th July 2015, 02:01 PM

+1^^^ classic tripped inertia switch symptom, make sure you didnt pull it's plug while working on the sensor.

**Discodance** · 10th July 2015, 02:12 PM

I will go look ... if I can see what it is ?

It wouldn't be that vertical can with a plug hanging out right below it ?

gee , is that a button ? lol ?

you guys are great ! thanks again .. I do feel a tad out of my depth and alone ..

**Discodance** · 10th July 2015, 02:24 PM

I know I said it a few times but god , you guys have saved my un worthy arse yet again .....where do I post the cans !!!

I went out and pushed the button that I did not know was there and hey !! , no hazards and she fired straight up !!!

cheers and thanks again
