Fault-Finding page - your help?

Folks,
As discussed in the New forum, I have a new page up on http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/faultfinds.htm It's not on the Menus yet. 
Have a look through this for me and see if there's anything I've forgotten. If there is can you remind me with a post here:-
A: Description of Symptom
B: How it was fixed.
C: URL of the site page to which it refers (if any)
I'll update the page with your items and then finish it off. SteveC may be giving it a look to put a fancy front-end on it 
Thanks

Eric, Page looks great. How about a thread for the remote key fob? This http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/remote.htm, talks about reprogramming but there is no photo of the circuit board or the 'Tag' that I keep posting about which makes the other contact. I'm sure you are familiar with the 'fixes' ie cleaning contacts,conductive paint etc. The subject certainly crops up on a regular basis.

Would you consider the MAF in the section about running but'''. When mine packed up the car ran,if you can call it that !,but it was racing one minute then trying to stall the next. The phrase 'ruptured duck' comes to mind!!.

Simmo,
Spot on, m8 - how could I forget the remote?
That link now on - and the remote page updated with the advice.
Your Scorp is a 12V isn't it? The EECV cars run without a MAF at all, but the 12v uses the EECIV. If you'll confirm this I'll add it to the page.

In the 'heavy fuel consumption' shouldn't it be a note about faulty Thermostat? On idle my -12v estate wants 1.9 liter per hour because the engine is not warm enought. if I drive on the highway and the engine gets normal temperature its down to 1.3 liter per hour on idle. Someone maybe can change the numbers to gallons....

Hi Eric great ideea with the fault find.
Maybe these will help
1. In AC problems, lack of fresh air from outside, vacuum motor, vacumm hoses ?
2. HBC control keeps on reseting (turning on/off) when adjusting the speed of the fan. And as a fix the change of the potentimeter.

2) click or knock from rear at start= CV joints

Eric, See post 12 today from Ricky re 'No lights' !. This has to be unusual but perhaps indicates that even after the 'experts' have been at it there are checks you can make!!.

Small thing but if intermittent CD failure check the earth at the autochanger before pulling the radio.

Geoff,
Yep - I'd like to add that one. Where was the earth poor? Was it inside the plug itself or at the ground connection?

hi eric
you could put in this.....
putting the timer (saver) module in diagnostic mode for checking the light switches etc,
switch on ignition
hold in rear heated windscreen button for a count of 10.
while holding the button in, start engine.
let go of button.
unit is now in diagnostic mode. everything which uses the unit will beep to indicate it's fully operational.
ie open a door and if the door switch is ok, you will get a beep to confirm this.
regards

Hi Eric
I don't really know where it should be put, but you can also write about dashboard reset, and a link to the codes. (battery check, speed check etc.)
Cheers

Good work, guys
Thanks Geoff.
Thanks for that, Scorpio_Man - text added.
Octavian - the Instrument reset was there, on the needles flick round item - but I've added more text to make it obvious.
Anyone else think of anything?
