Its arrived... few problems..

[Nine40]

Well the 940 eventually arrived today and is fairly good shape, bonus is its got the 7 seat conversion and snow trays!!.. it has few problems that i could do with some help on i have some photos and a video but cant upload them.

1- both front indicator lenses need replacing
2- tailgate closes but doesnt catch or lock
3- power steering is stiff and when turn wheel it scrreches and all lights on dash light up and engine will cut out if you dont give slight power but it ticks over fine
4- lambda light is on
5- looks like an exhaust pipe is where meets turbo is blowing and they used paste to seal it?

Any advice would be greatfully accepted
Thanks

1- check the part number on them before ordering replacements, there are several variations.

2- Check the striker plate, also that the latch is releasing properly. If it doesn't, it won't be open for the striker.

3- Check the PAS fluid, top up with ATF and move the steering from lock to lock several times then recheck the level.

4- No, the engine management light is on. Fair chance it's because of the hole in the exhaust and/or blocked PCV system. Pull fuse #1 for a minute to reset the fault code memory and re-try

5- they sent the wrong photo then! Without seeing it, it's difficult to advise.

Try postimages.org - it's free to set up an account to use it, upload your photos there and click the share button. At the end of each of several lines of code, there is a button to click - use the one that says "Hotlink for forums". When you click it, it will flash up "Copied" on the scrfeen.
Change tabs back to the post you are doing and right click where you want the photo to appear, click paste then hit return a couple of times to put a space between the photo and next line of text.

For videos, upload to YouTube and follow the instructions about editing, making it live etc. Then click the share button and then the copy button for the link it gives. Again, right click in your post and hit Paste where you want the video link to be.

Indicator/sidelamp assemblies are interchangeable as regards orange/clear lenses but the indicator lamp-holders are different IIRC (different pin locations) so don't throw away the original ones!

No, the indicator/side lights assemblies are all different as I discovered, there's the original deep type and then there's later facelift and the twin head light type - these are not the same so you do need to check the part number.

They certainly are - i discovered this with my 740s/760, some of the parts are shared with the 940 but then a whole new can of worms opened up because the 940 has so many different possibilities.
