Well after doing a bit of research on here i decided to take the plunge and remove the headlining from my d1 200tdi as ive got a leak (surprise surprise) and i assumed it was the sunroof probably rotten drain tubes. However no sign of any leaks and no drain tubes so confused now (yes i know...

Ah i was led to believe the d1 did not have a bonded screen at least not the 200,s. Ive seen several posts on how to fit them on here and involved string and washing up liquid ?

Has anyone here had experience with getting their windscreens replaced via their insurance policy.I ask cause I need mine doing now and I know the windscreen rubber itself is well past its sell by date, it is sealed with silicone as it is perished in several places ( well just about everywhere )...

After futher investigation today the whole system works for a few presses and the clutch bites. Then the peddle goes to the floor and the clutch is fully engaged.You then lift the peddle back up with your hand and it seems ok again?

The clutch seems to of gone on my TD4, well the pedal goes to the floor and stays there.I have been searching this forum and things point to the hydraulic system.On inspection the master cylinder seems loose though there doesn't seem to be any fluid leaks anywhere and the reservoir seems about...

i belive its something to do with a little spring in the lock mechanism. you can buy them as a pack ill see if i can find the link on ebay. http://r.ebay.com/wklzoX

I want to remove upper a frame arms from chassis brackets and the bolts are pretty rusted up so a hex spanner is less likely to round them off than a bihex and it should give me better purchase on the nuts

Probably a daft question but does anyone know where to get single hex 27 mm ring spanners from.I can find no end of bi- hex spanners but not one single hex on the web or local places. Cheers in advance

OK I will see what I find when I strip it down.thanks

So (forgive me for asking what is prob a stupid question but I ain't delt with hubs / bearings before) in a normal situation what does prevent diff oil getting along the stub axle and into the bearing area ?

OK thanks for that James already got new bearings and oil seal.can I use rtv to reseal stub axle.

Just a quick question as i am pretty sure i know the answer. Would a defective oil seal for a rear wheel bearing on my 200tdi cause the inner face of the brake disc to be covered with oil/grease.

Ok thanks for that tip.Was just going to replace top mount and bearing to start with for about 60 quid rather than the shocks as well as they about 140.If i have to replace the shocks aswell at least everything should of been freed off recently so shouldnt be a big job.

Is this easy to spot when you have the units off ?

I am going to replace both upper shock mount bearings to try and get rid of the knocking over bumps.Everything else it could be has been eliminated.Is there anything else up there i should replace while i have it stripped down. Cheers

Did mine last year.didnt support the body. I would fab up some new sill body mounts at the same time as if yours are owt like mine i cant figure out how to weld paper to metal.

I did the sills on my 3 door last year.Replaced with box section .I didnt take all the rear panel off just freed off the screws and eased off the sealer to free the bottom of the panel. its an aly panel so if you are careful you can ease it out about 4 or 5 inch.As for the pillar you can buy...

Looking at getting a set of these for our Freelander.Will be getting them online and shipped.My question is which way round should they be fitted due to their unusual tread pattern so make sure my local tyre place gets them on right.
