Pleased to say that Air Con problem now resolved. I had already fitted a new valve, but still had problem. I sent module to ECU Testing of Heanor to repair. I now have it back and things are working perfectly.

My car is touch screen and the module is above the glove box. It is easily removed and re-fitted once the glove box is removed.

Thanks for your previous replies guys

John.

Thanks for the info.

The mileage on the car is 107,000.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I haven't had chance to look further yet, but will advise on outcome.

Replaced Air con valve but still blowing hot air only regardless of cold/hot settings. Wiring connector is in good clean condition.

Car is 2007 2.7 diesel S Type. 

Any advice please.

Thank you.

Update. It was a faulty heater control valve. I bought a new one on e-bay and fitted it. Now perfect. Note:- for the 2007 2.7 diesel it is the 5 port version and is located directly below the right hand (drivers side) headlight. It is accessed from underneath by removing the front lower engine cover (splashguard). It was a relatively simple job.

My 2007 2.7 diesel recently had a front steel water pipe changed.(to lower front of engine)

I have used the air con almost continually since. The weather has now become cooler and I increased

the air temperature. It wouldn't increase and stayed cold even on max setting.

Any ideas anybody.

Any advice on changing chrome front buper trim on 2007 S Type please.

Any advice on changing front chrome bumper trim on 2007 s type please.

Hello Peter.

Reset worked perfectly on the first go.

Thanks once again.

John.

Thanks very much Peter. I will try this tomorrow, in daylight.

I'm afraid I am not your old cricket captain. I am from the Manchester area,

and as far as I know my family have no relations in the Golbourne area.

Cheers. 

Anybody know how to reset the 'Service Required' message, on my 2007 2.7 diesel S type.

Thanks Old Peter and Joe.

Job now sorted.

I have just been to Halfords for a set of wiper blades. They said that because they have a spray bar, for the washers, they must be original equipment and they cannot do them. Is this really the case or after market ones available.

Any replies appreciated.

Just an update.

Screen heaters now working OK, after alternator change. As per Peter's advice above it appears the system shut down due to poor battery condition due to dodgy alternator.

Thanks everybody.

John.

Sounds more complicated than mine, which turned out to be simple horn failure. Although it seemed odd that both horns should fail.

Thanks Joe ,

Much appreciated. circuit diagrams very useful.

Regards

John.

Thanks for the info Peter,

I have had a very recent alternator change (yesterday 1/11/18 in fact).

My battery failed a few weeks ago and after changing the battery the battery warning light on the dash remained on.

It turns out that the alternator was faulty, although it was putting some charge back into the battery.

I will see if the new alternator solves the problem. Thanks once again.

Regards,

John

The front and rear windscreen heaters and door mirror heaters have stopped working on my 2007 2.7 Diesel s type.

I have been advised that it may be a module problem.

Any advise much appreciated.

Little late replying. only just joined forum. I had horn failure on 2007 2.7 diesel s type. Had power at horn connector but no sound. Both horns had failed. I bought a second hand pair and they work perfectly.
