Where you based? I have a 2002 TD5 ES, mint condition with 91k on the clock. Not looking to sell, but if the price is right, I might be tempted to part with her, don't use her enough.

I had very rough wheel arch protectors. Used 1000 grit sand paper (don't forget to use water) and sanded them down. Far better now. I then used Back to Black applied with a paintbrush. Need to do a couple coats. Doesn't last long, haven't given much thought what to use instead. As for the...

I have the same year and had similar problems recently. I cleaned the MAF and MAP and sensors and seemed to do the trick. Takes a couple minutes, so maybe try that and see if you notice a difference.

Where do you find a good supplier of proper Bio? I'm down in Wimbledon, not much luck on google searches and wanna give it a try, maybe a quarter tank to start off with

Agreed, would look sick with the red engine block!!

Plus the wife likes the step up! Can never get in without making a point of doing so!!

Looks like something has been rubbing it; did the previous owner carry surfboards or something similar?

Ok, I'll give that a try! Even with these odd niggles, I live my car; gets in your blood!!

Hmmmm; a really annoying problem. Would it be the height sensors? They seem easy to replace from what I've read.

I have a similar issue, only mine happens if parked nose up, or on uneven ground or if I sit in the back if parked and engine off. Happened all the time when in my road trip recently, but not since. I think it may be the height sensors.

Any ideas if these changes will benefit a TD5?

I've read on the forum that some guys use liquid rubber; not sure of the product name though. Want to do some myself as a precaution for the winter

Mmm. I can't seem to move mine, haven't tried using pliers yet.

Well, I took a look at both the MAF and MAP sensors today- the MAP was heavily caked in black crap, so gave it a good clean with WD40. The MAF appeared ok, but gave it a spray at let dry. I did notice a bit of blow-back residue in the air intake that joins the MAF to the turbo, so washed that...

Ok, ill take a look over the weekend

Could be either. I have a similar issue that I'm trying to resolve, just don't have the inclination to strip everything out at present

That's just the problem, nothing is accessible, cannot even see the base cover. No screws to remove the back cover. Really tricky this one. Not eager to start touching the leather, don't want to mess it up.

D2, leather, 2002 ES TD5

Seriously, does no one know how to fix the rear seat latch? Bit limiting if I can't pull the seat down as it's supposed to

Looks like he used a sewer grate! Good luck if that comes off and falls on your head
