I hope Francis gets back and lets us know how he got on.
Mistakes do happen.
Sometime ago, my TD5 went in for a Service at a local and well respected garage. I told them it takes an age to show correct level on dipstick when toping up, so to put...
Mine too, and the handles and the wheel wrench and the two fancy swivelling wedges to stop the car rolling off the jack, all in their neat little case.
But the thing to remove the covers off the "security" wheel nuts is as useless as they all...
I have once seen a car with someone who filled the engine oil right to the top of the rocker cover oil filler hole as the oil light kept flashing!
I have seen many trucks with no oil on the dipstick or the oil level two or 3 inches above the...
Brake cleaner is excellent, you may need to spray and work it in with a paintbrush on the heavier stuff, then spray it again.
CTFR is also good, again will need working in.
Aerosol oven cleaner also works.
Finally bottomed the prob
No comms reported various module and to ECU
Pulled out wiring harness - there are two components. One goes to the auto trans plug and the other goes to the rear transmission case plugs. There is wide misconception - the...
yeah i've been looking on Ebay, they seem to refer to them as a water trap, i assume to let excess water out rather than in. i'll take a look from underneath to see if it really is gauze, i just reached down to see what i could feel
Yeah. I understand that a leaking fuel
Pipe is a fail. But it was
Ever so slight Enough for me not to spot it. And I had recently changed the fuel
Lines Not many friendly garages around these days. I have used the same workshop...
I think the gauze bit shoudl have a rubber birds beak on it, also called a dump valve, if you want a truly effective snorkel then that part needs sealing up.
DPF life on full size trucks is between 300k to over a million kms, all depends on the year and make of truck.
I would hazard a guess car ones are 100k area.
Last job the trucks did lots of london work, non stop after treatment issues, current...
DPFs have a lifespan and once past that point, no matter what you do they are beyond help.
Old shttiers have the dpf in the chassis somewhere, after a decade or so the makers noticed they were not running hot enough, which is why most are as...
In my eyes if @Graculus says thats how it is, then that is how it is, he is the closest you will get to LR themselves on this forum for the newer stuff.
Yes, I'm sure - as you pointed out, they are a different build specification. I worked at a dealership when these vehicles were first released and your question was quite a common one. The problem at the time was that all the demonstrators were...
My old man was waved out of our farm track by the old chap at the road end. He was a pain to be honest but ment well.
On this occasion a mate of mine was charging round the blind bend in his go faster cavalier. Hit the SWB square in the drivers...
3 inch dia circle of oil on the floor after a few minutes is a fail, but if it dripped on the testers head you are going to fail!
I hate mots, not the pass/fail bit just the bloody inconvenience, and I say that as someone who gets approx 40...
Cheapo obd scanners only really speak to the engine and gearbox, for all the other systems you need better code reader.
Take a look at icarsoft on ebay/amazon (roughly 100/150 quid area) but do check they will work on the d5.
As said above GAP...
