Due to the arrival of some new wheels and tyres I'm looking to sell my 'winter' set of wheels and tyres. As you can see, the 16" alloys aren't in the best condition but still look OK. The tyres are 235/85/16. Probably an ideal spare winter set or even off road. The four tyres that are...

Loads on here and elsewhere about the 3 amigos.... could be a variety of things and the only way to find out for sure is to get a diagnosis. I had them about November time - turned out to be an ABS sensor was fubar - £15 after market replacement off ebay and 20 minutes labour... jobs a...

Okey, okey.... this one is definitely the final bump ;) Price now £225 ono.

Final bump. Price reduction to £275 ovno. :D

Bump:D Quite happy to listen to offers or maybe even a swap for some 16" wheels with decent tyres.

Ah, good point:doh: 255/60/18's.

Another bump:) As above, I'm open to offers.... Just trying to get enough funds for some new AT's for my 16" wheels. :D

Bump.:)

Hi, I'm selling my 5 alloys and tyres. These are from my 2002 D2 TD5 with the use of spigot rings, so were probably originally on a Range Rover L322. They will therefore fit a P38. The alloys are in very good condition but not perfect, with the odd bit of corrosion here and there. Four...

Have you checked the connections on the starter motor? I had a starting issue (just got a click but all windows, lights etc worked fine), turned out to be a loose connection on the starter.

Welcome, from the now very rainy Essex! I also came from a BMW to a TD5 - mine was a 400bhp M5. Yes, I miss it like hell but at least I will keep my licence, which was looking highly unlikely at one point! You've made a good choice with this site - I've learnt so much in the last year...

Thanks for the input lads - really appreciate it. Sods law continues to shine on me... the car ran like a dream today! I'm not really moaning but is there anything more frustrating than intermitant faults? Anyway, going to put the MAF on tomorrow and will monitor closely. Tonight I...

Evening all, The last couple of days I've occasionally had what feels like a misfire under light throttle when pulling away. Tonight I also had it whilst cruising at 60mph. The loss in power is only a split second - exactly like when you lift off the throttle and slap it back down again...

Where abouts are you? Then, someone can hopefully recommend a good mechanic.

Mine's not far off that at around 340 per tank. But it is normally only used for short journeys. That's about 24MPG on fill to fill calculation. However, I do suspect my fuel gauge is dodgy because when the low fuel light comes on and I fill it to the first click I can only squeeze in 60-65...
