seen two td5's today, a 150k mile well-used one, and a well overpriced x plate one owner low miler. both unsuitable, i need one in the middle lol. def thinking v8 which is already lpg'd, or a chipped td5

Thanks for that. Spanner friendly I certainly am - Mercs are my first love, and I have restored/repaired/saved many of them! This is all good guys cheers.

Hi guys, I am back since my Disco is being readied for her winter duties! This thread really interests me, as do all the veggie oil threads so I will be spending a fair amount of time researching (and I'll try not to ask too many stupid questions!!!). I've ordered the EGR and decat kit which is...

Water pump squeal all gone :) Tensioner pulley now wailiing :( It'll have to keep wailing at £120 too.

Water pump fitted today, was squealing terribly. No signs of wear when i had it off the car, but fitted, with the pulley on, quite a bit of play.
