    engine lifting equipment.

    That does make sense seeing how close it is to the bulkhead, I did think it was the tappets needing adjusting when it started to blow a few weeks ago but it got quite loud so after investigating found it blowing out the back and the felt the crack!! I have felt some slight hesitation when...

    300tdi diesel in oil

    I'd say lift pump would be the culprit, they are cheap to replace so got to be worth a try first.

    manual headlight adjustment.mot

    Easiest way is drive up to a fence/wall and mark where they shine when on dip beam, reverse back about 10 feet and put them on full beam and adjust so the top of the beam pattern is on the mark you made. Have checked all my cars like that and never had a problem.

    300tdi Arch Liner

    I used some of the plastic rivets from the sill cover on mine after welding, all i did was re-drill some 8mm holes through another part of the plastic liner and into the newly fabricated inner wing. Been on for about 6 months now and not had any problems.

    ABS Woes, need urgent help please

    Mine does the same sometimes, certainly wakes you up coming up to a junction:eek: You could just remove the abs fuse in the fusebox under the bonnet which would give you normal brakes but without abs at all until you manage to get a more permanent fix sorted out.

    Radio cuts out when start engine

    Not sure if the 200tdi has a earth point on the inner wing just behind the battery but i had the same problems on mine so took the earth lead off the battery and re-soldered the joint just behind and it cured them.
