Had my `04 TD4 for 4 1/2 years, just seemed to have one problem after another. Finally got rid and bought a 4WD Dacia Duster instead.

After having a thorough de-icing session she seems to be running normal again. The build up of ice on both the N/S and O/S lower front suspension members must have been a good 4 inch thick and weighed a good couple of pounds each side. There were also a few chunks of ice (a couple of ounces a...

Thought I had solved the problem but apparently not. The noise is back but now from 60+ mph and is unbearable by 70. Anyone any ideas as to what the problem might be?

Started to happen again today on the way to work, so when I got home (approx 5pm) grabbed the torch and looked under. And I was amazed at the amount of ice stuck on the N/S/R drive shaft, must have been throwing it out of balance by one hell of an amount. Chipped it all off and went for a test...

Just a quick few words of advice to anyone running their car on the drive to defrost it. Last week unlocked the car (drivers door only) and fired her up. While clearing the side windows I heard clunk, the sound of the central locking working. Engine running, doors locked and I only had the...

Strange one this, just taken the motor for a quick spin as I tend to do when it`s cold. Car was fine yesterday, no problems what so ever. But today as I got up to 45mph a horrible vibration/out of balance type noise started, that`s about the best I can describe it. There was no vibration...

I had only had mine come on twice since May. Just started to come on again now with the colder mornings.

Check the brake light switch, the old type wear very badly and can cause this problem.

4x4 Tyres :: The Ultimate 4x4 Tyre Website :: I always use this place, and as you can see, no AT tyres what so ever on an 18". Better fitting a set of 16", or even 15". Plenty of serious choice with those two sizes.

A full laser alignment check and adjustment cost approx £40 at an independent LR garage. Had mine done a while ago and it actually turned out to be a faulty tyre.

Took me as long to remove the sump guard as it did to do the oil and filter change with the number of bolts it is held on with.

True, not sure what temperature they start working from, not had mine come on for months, apart from one morning last week when the temp was in single figures.

And now like the rest of us, you won`t be having any problems in the snow come winter. :)
