    Steerin noise

    Hi everyone, when steering to the left at low speeds (might be the same at speed just cannot hear it) there is low groan from the steering. Has anyone ever come across this & if so what is it? Snoops:confused:

    leaking swivel ball

    Thanks Blue Beasty, the pitting is only about 5mm in diameter & not very deep & i have noticed that swivel ball kits seem to have shot up in price of late. Thats why i might have a go at changing the seal as the old one clearly has a piece missing.

    Still got alarm problems

    Hi Discool, thanks again for your reply, i will try waving keys at the sensors later. I am still concerned that the indicators are still not flashing when the system is armed, i always thought this was an indication that the interior sensors have been armed. Snoops

    Running on red

    I know most people will add anti waxing agents, the unfortunate ones forget & then pay the price. I know in certain parts diesel additive was in pretty short supply a few weeks ago

    just a quick note red diesel as noted, sometimes does not contain the additives used in road diesel (i.e anti waxing agents for cold weather). During the recent cold snap on the site i work at we have changed filters due to waxing & i have witnessed an electronic fuel pump being changed on...

    EGR valve removal-peice of cake!

    Well worth doing the de-cat pipe, improves pick up but i found a slight increase in noise. I suppose you cannot have everything but the feeling of being pushed back in you seat out weighs the noise.
