    TD5 60,000 serviced or not ?

    Rattle/Vibration On Start???

    having spoke to l/r, over a few different matters for a mate, they assured me that this is to do with the abs system setting itself. in theory this would make sense, as the feeling on the pedal is the same as if the system had activated under brakeing. hope this helps mat
