When you push the pistons back to get the new pads in, slacken the bleed screw to allow the excess fluid out. (via a tube into a bleeding pot {jam jar}) Some have reported on here that they have caused ABS problems by forcing debris back into the ABS block after changing pads. Not worth the...

We have an '06 TD4 HSE manual <28k (not even run in yet), done all the standard mods on here. EGR bypass, Synergy2, BMW breather, silicone intercooler hoses (only hoses not the full replacement pipes mod), towbar with 12N & 12S, Auxilliary socket for charging 2nd battery and cruise control...

I am making the assumpion that the TD4 is around 10 yers old as you stated the relay probably is? If so you can find the answers to all of your questions in the RAVE. Don't have a link to hand but it's free to download and you can find it on google. :welcome2: It has electrical diagrams, service...

Sounds like a great find - post a piccy. Nice one :):)

Don't know about the 2L Diesel but the comments above are true for the 1.8 K series petrol engine. :eek:

If the wipers do all the things they're supposed to at various times when operating the switch one way or another, then the motor is probably OK. Sounds like you need a new switch. :) or you have a wiring fault - improbable but possible? :(

Do the mod at the top end and leave the pipe on the EGR -- Simples :cool: No Flipy Flopy Pipe and Ming can still get his 18 holes in :) Wot no Duck? :5biagree:

Hi Dazjam, Got a link for download of 2004 or later Rave fileset? :) Most interesting :cool:

You are getting changes by moving the tyres around and the usual wear suspects have been eliminated - suggests the fault lies with tyres/wheels. Can you get hold of (borrow) a sixth wheel to run your spare +1 as another set on the front? If the vibration goes then you may have a case to return...

Easiest way to check it's issue date is to look at the properties for the individual PDF files in the set - if they are post 2003 than you have a later disk. :) If they ain't then it's a dressed up Fleabay con job again - bastids! :mad: I got one off Fleabay with 2004 - 2006 opening menus - the...

Hi Gary, Was readin' a post few weeks back that gave details on a new Pierburgh unit that had all the sensor bits added and was a direct replacement for the Bosch one. If that's correct you can use it without the Synergy2. Have a look back over the posts - unless someone has the link? Happy new...

Spot on Booboodag, last one I tracked down (after downloading and buying several) was the march 2003 issue. There are rumours of a slightly later one covering V6 export - but I've not seen one yet. Don't believe ebay **stids who claim facelift coverage - it don't exist. (I've bought a couple)...

Best - Willo's daytime driving lights Worst - towbar mounted snow plough. :)

Hi Willo Happy New Year :5bdriving:

Glad your heater's working properly now. :) Fitting the new crankcase breather is always a good move. Do you ever fink that there might be somefink in these longer runs that may be clearing some airlocks in the TD4 ?? :der:

Hi & :welcome2: Simples - 15" ok plenty of normal chains available from suppliers e.g. Roofbox co. (also check out Michelin Easy Grip) BUT Check the clearance! 16" - OK'ish clearance depends on tyre size fitted. (your choice) 17" - dodgy i/s clearance to front strut - outside wheel fitting...

Bloody cold if the hydraulics froze up! (unless they had water in them) :eek: They've changed your IAC valve - if that recalibrates ok to the ECU then it may help. If you've now got compression and you still need to tow start then have you got an inlet manifold leak, low fuel pressure or weak...

Storm - Was that GIGGLE or GOOGLE? :nothingtoadd:

hijimhere - check the stickies at the top of the page - there's a very long one covering the EGR and depression limiting valve (crancase breather in normal speak). All will be explained if you stick with it and read Ming's whole thread. :) :welcome2:

Hi Serge, The new type crankcase breather is a BMW part with a number of a similar format to that. Not surprised to find BMW parts in the FL from the days when they ran LR. There will be a LR no for the part. Try taking the number you have to the BMW parts dept at their dealership and ask if...
