I have a 55 maxus ldv van. i have problems starting it most mornings,have had it jump started on boyh occassions and it will run all day, but next morning i have same problem,there seems to be power in the battery as it always turns over but just does not start and the battery ends up drained.

LDV MAKER. , a VAN , iN UK are you?>
NO ENGINE TOLD AND IS A PURE ENGINE QUESTION SMOG PART EGR.
NO TOLD WHY.
SCANNED THE PCM AND GOT P04nn errors EGR
or some forum told you it is bad , blind and dead wrong them. as is most cases.called" PUT me on to it..."
buy the service manual and read that , is the only answer, lacking engine not told or country first sold to or VIN codes that tell all that.
DIESEL EGR?
"both 2.5-litre units offering either 95hp or 120hp and 250Nm or 300Nm of torque. "
LDV Group Limited, formerly Leyland DAF Vans, was a British van manufacturer,
The Russian GAZ Group acquired LDV on 31 July 2006
production was suspended at the LDV factory in Birmingham in December 2008.and last
production was suspended at the LDV factory in Birmingham in December 2008.
I say all that ,thinking gee why own this and where will i get key parts that fail now or later, I'd sell it fast.
and last Maxus

LDV subsequently acquired the exclusive rights to the van from General Motors, who had taken over Daewoo, and purchased the existing tooling and shipped it all to Birmingham from the Daewoo Plant in Poland where the van was originally intended to be built.[15] The Maxus was fitted with direct injection, common rail, diesel engines supplied by VM Motori.and now FIAT owns VM 2011
(get parts from FIAT ?)

so guess the engine VM.

Check the glow plugs

will assume a used van
any warranty ? go back to place of purchase

if a manual ..worn syncros or adjustment to shifter cables

if an automatic a shift soleniod or worn drive clutches

could be linkages
would need to track the shift cables to the gearbox

if no better worn syncros or automatic shift solenoids

looks like you are going to need a repair manual
ebay has a few

Most likely you've got something draining the battery. Read this post

Rac came out to our 2008 maxus as difficult starting. Scan showed crankshaft sensor failed. Replaced and all good.

Its likely you have a problem with the clutchnot completly disengageing or problems with disk or pressure plate

Hi
I know from experience that you cannot really re synch these fobs on the LDV Maxus vans.
What actually is the fault is an onboard component on the pcb has failed and we normally just replace that with a new one..the fob will be tested for operation and sent back. OR its the Relay in the ESA unit - under the left hand front glovebox on the bulkhead - black with cables going into it. We have those relays (soldered to the pcb) we can supply those or do the work for you. The fob connects to that ESA and the unit then fires the relays to open/close the doors. Sometimes that unit is installed upside down which causes water (condensation) to enter the box and have fun with your electrics.
The fob is SYNCHED to this unit via coding we can use your old fob to clone to a new fob and that will work with the ESA and the vehicle.
We have the parts on this link Items for sale from remobilise ltd

Here is a link to how to program the fob to the vehicle via the programmer - NOTE how you MUST have a working fob to program another (text at the start of the video... LDV Maxus flv

We can fix most problems on the LDV Maxus that occur with faults to do with the Central locking/fobs/ESA/ETACS - three relays are in the ESA and they control ONLY the central locking - two more relays are in the ETACS unit (behind the ashtray) and they control the fogs and intermittant wipers.

Any help or info needed please contact [email protected]
or tel 01792 896404.

We are based in Swansea UK.

next would be to check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail (under hood @ fuel inj sight) It sounds more like a fuel delivery problem then an electial problem

Hi have you had any joy finding fault I have the same problem with my Maxus. I've replaced endless stuff even main pump ,narrowed it down to crank position sensor.but sensor is fine there should be a 5v feed but there isn't one ,checked wire back to ecu and its ok. But carnt see it being fault on ecu van drives and performs great once running. Seems to be quite a common thing on these but no one seems to have an answer, if you have any joy with yours or need any questions over it you can contact me on [email protected] for number , cheers dave
