Now that is very interesting. Never thought it was coming in there. I'll have a look at mine at the weekend! Cheers for the heads up :)

Dash says just over 200,000. It was on it's second 19J when I bought it, but I dropped a 200tdi in last year - that's done 120,000 I think.

Pos - I'm racking my brains to think how - but is it possible that there's something else at play here that is damaging the lift pumps? One or two failures in a short space of time would be unlucky - but six! I just can't believe they've all been faulty.

Good job. I really, really, really want to do mine. I just haven't had the time yet. Seeing all these decent roller paint jobs gives me mucho confidence to do it though!

The IR jobbies aren't expensive on fleabay. Handy thing to have in the cubby box.

Had a couple of those, yeah. But the first genuine one I got opened at about 60 degrees :(

Check it first with a pan of boiling water and a thermometer. I bought three new ones before I got one that opened when it was meant to!

Keep a fuggin' big dog in it.

I'd be up for a gentle drive out again... :)

And that's bad is it?

Like that a lot.

New dampers and springs are on my "wish list" - can't really justify the expense at the moment though :(

That's what I felt like saying... but I kept my mouth shut as he hadn't written the ticket out yet. :rolleyes:

Exmoor Trim do retrim kits - I did mine last year. They're not cheap but they're good quality.

Rear damper bushes on the way out. Leak from rear hub end cap. Oil leak from engine!!!! The first two are on my "to do" list anyway.
