If it’s weeping grease the ball may be pitted/scored Are you using 1 shot grease?

@Hicap phill How's the planning going?

Yes. If the bolts are good then reuse them, I replaced them as they don't cost much. It's pretty heavy by the way.

The locking works because triggering the button microswitch (i.e. CDL switch) makes the BECM thinks you're inside the car & want all the doors to lock. Conversely when unlocking using the button, the mod makes the BECM think you want to unlock...

"Then, the engine is turned on. Once exhaust starts being emitted, the machine tests for: Hydrocarbons (HC) Nitrogen oxide (NOx) Particulate matter (PM) in diesel vehicle exhaust Carbon monoxide (CO) Air to fuel ratio (for engine efficiency)"...

Misses has decided she wants to move all the furniture about in the living room bye then.........:rolleyes:

EGR is there to allow an inert gas to be added to the combustion to reduce Peak combustion temps and reduce Nox emissions. The MoT does not test for Nox.

I throw all my dog poo in the bin & they take it away then make freelanders out of it 🤣🤣

Looks nice well done....fixed it for you tho 🤣 🤣

Stretch a length of string down the side of the car so it touches the back wheel and just touches the front. It will give you a rough guide on how far out of alignment the front wheels are. If they are a mile out then maybe that's the issue but...

Hi everyone, it’s a 300tdi 1995 90 & I need to replace the inner swivel housing gasket as it’s weeping grease, so can I get away with unbolting the swivel hub at the axle & pulling it off with the half shaft , so I can get away with having to...

I should have said, the main other contender was a BMW X5 since they are cheap enough for me now. But i heard they can be bloody expensive to run, and I don't know much about MPG other than someone once telling me they got 30 from theirs, not...

It's worth trying a new one for the cost. Post a picture of your Landy, I would also like to see your Corvette. Followed a new one today, thought it was a Lambo until I saw Corvette written across the back of it 😀

So what if you had two vulnerable oldies in your family? When I took food to my parents I wore a mask to help stop then getting something from me, it made me feel better. Certainly didn't spend my whole day wearing one. While this is indeed a...

Mine is 2012. Yes, it's that weird thing which cuts the engine if you stop at lights. You can switch it off but end of the day it reduces the road tax as it puts the car in another band. The TD4 engine does sound a bit agricultural when cold.

It would seem you have an earth if your lights work are you sure you have a brake live then?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276930646017 - that looks pretty nice. I would definitely need to drive an auto before going for one, hard where I am as none for sale unless I go a long way but I will haev a look to see if I can test drive one. I am...

AAh. good to know thanks, that explains the surprising MPG compared to what I assumed it would be. Assumption being the mother of all F*** ups. :D

Swap the 12v over and see if the LED is at fault. Only 3 cables go to the lights. Earth Dipped beam High beam

I do exactly the same for the same reason

2 jubilee clips to unscrew and swap with new elbow. You've found the problem!!

Thanks, but does the power at beam posit0n run main and dipped beams?

Looks like the disc brake guard might be catching the disc near the track rod end ? Vibration cause?? Would probably hear it first.

In normal driving mode they are pretty much 2WD. The Haldex pushes more when they start to lose traction, or when the terrain response is in a special mode

Yeah, I always brim it too, just never bother to check! I might next time…

Ah, great thanks

I do! It's a phrase I have heard before, often used as a way to say 'don't buy one if you want high MPG', but I already know that. I want a 4x4, but I still want to get the best MPG i can, even though none of them are 'good'. So the options I...

Interesting Video, but how does the Driver get away with Driving with all those Cameras on the 'screen ? 🤔

Which is top spec, XS or SE?
