if like me the dicky seats rattling got on your nerves try this. locate the stow away position, release lever (mine is green), next to it is a rubber bung. remove the bung and replace it faceing the other way. this causes a tighter fit against the boot side hence no rattle. you will have to...

a day and a half later and the underside is as good as the upper. a £10 2.5L can of hammerite/ waxoyl mix, from halfords did the trick. lessons learnt 1) get someone else to do it. 2) if possible borrow the services of a pit or full lift ramps. 3) wear a hat, i didn't and now i have had to...

not rock sliders, sump guards and the rest......;) i am after keeping my td5 for atleast the next 5 years and as such want it to look good and stay in tip top condition. the outside etc not a prob, regular attention and wax washing etc. what do you landites use on the underside for the...

both drains located and water freed, especially the passenger side. i wiggled the rubbers at first, this released the water, then gently stuck a paperclip up it a short distance. as i have not used the a/c in the four weeks of owning it, i feel i was a dead cert. for soggy carpet syndrome...

i know this has been documented but i would like more guidance please. although my carpets are not wet "yet" i would like to prevent this by identifying the drains and clearing them out now. unfortunately i have been underneath today and real cannot find them. i know the problem is me, i just...

i echo your thoughts completely on the lack of air. i have put 36 in the front and 40 in the rear. i know from routing around on here that some put closer to 50 all round. as a motorway bobby the amount i have put in is based on what we put in the 4x4's at work.

easy peasy 55 mins start to finish. the electrics plug was very easy.

thanks cd busy weekend ahead with fitting these and the towbar. bet you it rains.

i am to fit parking sensors to the rear of my 2003 td5. it looks straight forward. has anyone done this/had experience. finding an earth will be easy but what colour is the reverse light cable? guess i really only have a 50/50 chance its that or the fog. would make life easier if i knew before...

think it might struggle its a 3'x4' erde 122 (400kg max) LOL :)

when the wife gets back, with an empty tank, i will give it ago thanks yella

thanks for the tip yella. thought 45 might be a bit high as i am running above the handbook settings now. there is rarely more than three in the vehicle with an empty boot as it is.

td5 (03) 24mpg. mixed roads never above 75mph or 3k rpm. tyres 40 psi rear 36 front. no tow. trying for the 30mpg first option is to keep wife out of driving seat i think. ;)

no its not that bad. it just made me think that the metal strap was loose. this happened on an older car of mine on the drivers door. sounds very similar. not overly concerned now due to feedback. think i am being a bit over cautious as it is my first second hand car.

sounds good enough an excuse to me. just thought that there might be something i could loosen or tighten with my big spanners :) thanks for the quick reply.

have had my 2003 td5 for two weeks now and have done all the basic husbandry jobs, but i cant stop the rear door clicking when i open and close it. i have lubed the hinges and the strap at its pivot and runner under the door. any suggestions please ?

for anyone else out there considering, "towbars direct" were the cheapest on the web. brink towbar £95 single "plug in" wire loom elecs £35 50mm tow ball £4.50 delivery £8.50 total £143.00

have located the plug, now to buy and fit the towbar. first post and saved £100+ :D GREAT !! thank you

:) my first post, hello !!:) 1) is it easy to fit a towbar to my disco? i have had a look underneath and it would seem to be just four bolts, two already threaded behind rear bumper. 2) is there a more recommended manufacturer. 3) pre wire electrics. are they really that easy as plug and...
