Hi! the captive nut clip at the left side of my D2 td5 engine cover was lost and bolt was stuck see pics. I found one from https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282569655864?, but it looks like square one and mine is round one. Does 2004 D2 td5 has different captive nut from previous model? Does anyone...

After replacing front arms to chassis bushes, the steering wheel is off centre to left more than before. I kept the same length of new track rod ends and just increased a bit the length of drag link bar. Now the wheel is centralized in driving. If I let my hands off the wheel in straight...

this seller seems a breaker, can ask them to test on a car.

I saw this one for range rover https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296398111644? It looks like mine but oil is different. I don't know if they could have different physical size.

Hi, I need a coram bottle jack for my 2004 discovery 2 td5.

Thanks! sierrafery. I wonder if air was also trapped in ABS module circuit B for empty reservior. Hope to flush it with new fluid after pedal bleeding.

Hi! I need a urgent help for brake bleeding. My front left brake hose banjos bolt was snapped when undoing the day before. I got a new one today. Unfortunately I could have lost some brake fluid although I kept hose banjos end high enough afterwards. It takes about 0.5L to refill the reservoir...

Hi! When I am replacing brake jump flexi hoses, I found the ABS module pipe flare nuts are in impact space for chassis. I wonder which way is better. 1. do/undo the flare nuts on-situ from the top pic. 1 no change, but hard to loose/tighten the nuts, probably two persons' work 2. loose the...

I am going to replace my rear brake pipes of 2004 D2 td5. Having done lots of internet search, some uses SAE flare tool and other DIN one. It seems to me that SAE one produces double flare and DIN one bubble flare. But a seller told me their SAE tool can produce bubble flare too, it has...

Thank you for your inputs. I guess bmw oil flows in from the outside of cylinder filter. The black soot is blocked and cumulated there. The oil looks black. D2 one is inside centrifugal filter for power rotating.

under 30k miles

Sorry for this topic is a bit out of this forum. I just had my wife's 21-plate BMW 320D serviced under warranty and found the engine oil was very black at home (see pics), it is less than 20 miles drive. I suspected if the garage had changed the oil. By googling BMW oil change, some people said...

Hi! I have tried to loose my disco. ACE filter cap using penetrating oil, screw grab and torch heat, but it begins to slip and the rusted cap is a bit rounded out. I should have replaced the cap when I replaced the filter five years back. Any suggestions to remove the stubborn guy are...

Other three wheels are on the ground. I managed to slide out. I tested it again, I have to manoeuvre it in that bucket. The bushes on axle are still in good condition, mot guy pointed to me the bush on chassis is bad, not only this one, but another rear one and a front one.

I got rear bolt out, but front one is at trick position, also blocked by something on axle, need a bit more room

Sorry I meant stand point

For safety, I have jacked both up, near the bolt to chassis is good jack point?

Here is a problem, rear bolt to axle is not sliding out for watts linkage on the way? It seems to me bolt head should be at outside. But all rear bolts are fastened same way, driver side rear bolt has clear space. How did you guys handle this?

mot guy told me that I need to change it, it will fail next year. Anyway only whack conquer them.

I got 21 and 24 mm spanner’s from halford. I have removed the bolt to chassis, it should stay there before I loose bolts to axle, the rear bolt has room to use break bar. I use Jack to lift the bar, the bar has been bent but nothing happened.
