    td4 towing problems!

    If it only happens when towing are you sure the caravans brakes are not sticking on. That is one of the pipes you describe and the most common one to fail. I have tape round mine though holding a metal strip to prevent the pipe wearing through.

    Intercooler hose - advice please

    Thanks for the offer, I was only really interested to know if their really was any evidence of performance improvement. Do you have a door open warning light to go with your miss-alarm. I had for about 9 months, it was the tailgate micro-switch, I think, ignored it as I didn't want to replace...

    I have asked this question before elseware without an answer, how much pressure do you think there is to make the hose balloon to its detriment.

    Lumpy idle

    Listen for the LP pump at the rear wheel arch working when it wont start, if its ok do an injector leak back test.

    The question was how do they make a difference. I get the durability bit, although I'm still on original after 111000 miles and doubt many have had silicon for that long. Is there any evidence that they improve performance?

    Intercooler hose - advice please

    How many miles has it done before the origonal gave up? how many more do you expect to do? then decide if you need to pay for silicon. No other advantage.

    Knocking/Banging from under car when turning

    If the orginal garage replaced the diff, VCU bearings and diff mounts how on earth did they miss a siezed UJ which may have been the only problem? Who were they?

    Wind deflectors

    I fitted the Climair a while back, driver side cable started to crunch then snapped shortly afterwards, but only because the cable was rusty and would have gone soon anyway. Easy fit for new cable and would not be without the deflectors now, well worth the hastle of the cable.
