Well guys I got round to fitting my blanking plate today on my TD5. I got the plate in ok minus a few grazed knuckles but couldn't get one of the engine cover bolts out to get some measurements to fabricate a new intercooler pipe out of stainless :cool: so will sort that at a later date. The...

Right here's 2 idea's from me. 1. Park it up in Liverpool!!!! problem with this Idea is you won't see the diesel again, they might be forgiving and leave the disco if its a non starter. 2. you will need a length of pipe to go from the bottom of the tank to the containers, An airline and a...

Something has brought me back to the heater matrix for my answer, since the weather has warmed up my heater has been on cold and the level hasn't dropped at all, if I'm right where is the water going as there's no damp in the car and no drips on the drive.:( Ian

I was told by my mechanic that all td5's run on synthetic oil from new and putting anything else in does them no good, theres my 10 pence worth. Ian

Yeah I know what you mean I was just thinking about getting the bolt started then swapping over to a ratchet, I'll have to stay off the pop the night before so I dont get "jazz hands" and end up dropping the bolt :( I'll get a box of Hamlet just incase :D .

Will do battenburg, that bottom bolt looks a bit of a sod to get to, can see the magnetic hexi screwdriver coming out of retirement :D

Hi my TD5 does the same using about 1/2ltr of water about every month, no drips, leaks or boiling up,what I have noticed is the heater has a bit of a damp smell every now and again but I put this down to the air con, someone mentioned it could be loosing it through the heater matrix but there...

Hi guys mines a GS with all the above but no leather and also got ACE but no air suspension, the oil reservior is there and the ACE light comes on when you start it up so I presume it has it, it also sticks lick s**t to a blanket through the twisties unlike my mates D1. Clutchdust can you shed...

After replacing sensor's and hub's a wharped brake disc fetched my lights back on again everytime the pads found a low spot so they were replaced with performance ones, the mechanic said next time they come on he'll be looking at the wheel bearings.

HGVs I would vote for. Lets get more goods delivered by rail. I am under 70 and listen to radio 2 drive a 4 by 4 for essential reasons, accessing difficult off road areas, and recreational reasons, shooting and working my dog, the rest of the list cause less damage to road surfaces than HGV's...

Thanks for that mat, got the job done today but used TF2, I don't use wd40 due to it having a solvent in it which strips the carbon out of the locks if it gets near them then you end up with locks sticking in the future. thanx again mate

Quick fire round- question 1: you approach a flooded road all the idiots are taking the shallow route on the pavement do you a: follow the rest of the idiots who don't fancy flooding their cars? b: follow the rest of the idiots knowing you could have gone through the deepest point and be...

Got to agree with YD on this one there are very few HGV jobs out there that are worth doing, It's took me 15 years on class1 tankers to find a decent one, I've just been for an interview at Shell at stanlow and was offered £34k for shifts, a 7+7% pension and retired in 12 years(@50) and after...

Hi guys dont know if this has been asked before but The rear door handle keeps sticking and would like to know the easiest way in to blather it with oil, would it be through the door skin or via the number plate holder also how much of a job is it to do the rest of the doors while i'm at it...

Buy a TD5 with ACE :D

yeah couldn't find pics at 12 million pixels so played with the originals :D

what do you think guys

What do you think of the Harmon Kardon Hifi then james? every now and again I get the cd changer playing up and have to eject the cartrige then it's ok.

Hi Raz, I used mine to reccie fields prior to taking trucks on them and found the scorpions to be ok but like you said once they fill with mud your on slicks luckily a farmer with his tractor was usually at hand if things went pairshaped I use mine mainly on road so it wasn't really worth...

With a score like that yella I guess your ****e at bowls :D
