    Tdi Valve clearance adj, do you bother?

    I've had a fair few tdi's but have never got round to adjusting the valve clearances as I've never had the vehicles that long. Do you bother checking /adjusting them as per old pushrod petrol motors or do you just leave well alone? I assume if they need adjusting thats because the go out of...

    Wax Oil vs Under sealant ??

    Waxoyl can and does go hard and brittle. Thin it down with a little CLEAN engine oil and leave the tin in the airing cupboard for a couple of house to make it easier to apply. The engine oil will make it more elastic/greasy. You shouldn't use old engine oil because it is actually mildly...

    Back door won't open on disco 1

    I've just got a 200tdi disco and have discovered the rear door (boot or tailgate I suppose it is) will only open by turning and holding the door key in the "unlock" position whilst working the door release handle at the same time. If I just unlock it and then try to open it, the little plastic...
