    What to watch out for a td5 please

    had mine a few months now..replaced fuel regulator, leaking sunroofs, burst ACE pipe and now seem to have a leak on the PAS..all seem pretty common faults and i,m sure we all work slowly through them, so try and find one with all the pain in the a**e jobs done is my advice !!!

    td5 wheel stud sheared, easy to fit new one?

    rang L/R dealers today and was told studs not sold separate so would have to buy complete hub, sounds very unlikely to me .. someone please tell me this is not so and i got the YTS on the phone!!!

    clutch swap series3 engine out or drop g/b ?

    i'm planning to change the clutch on my series 3 and wondered about lifting the engine out or droping the g/b... which is the more straight forward way to go?? i,m thinking g/b as i did in my disco but having never done a series i thought it better to ask!! thanks

    Td5 indicator lense orange /clear

    having just found my n/s lense broken i was wondering if anyone was aware of any after market clear lenses as now would be a good time to justify purchasing them... or does anyone have a spare orange one??

    td5 auto g/b, earlier selection??

    EGR is blanked, from what your saying it sounds like "lock-up" i pull straight out onto a A-road and travel around 3miles at around 60 before it selects/locks -up, always at the same point on the road (very consistent). what exactley is the lock-up, how does this work?? thanks Si

    td5 auto g/b, earlier selection??

    this could be what i'm refering to, i'm not sure. normaly at 55 the revs drop as an engine would when moving up a gear but in a morning it seems to take forever before this happens even if i cruise at 60 -65. i was thinking the engine would not labour as much and it may improve mpg if i can...

    td5 auto g/b, earlier selection??

    my 99 td5 auto seems somewhat reluctant to change into top gear when cold, once warmed up it changes at around 55mph. would a g/b oil change be a help (do they have a filter?) any advice on getting into top before 55 ??
