    It also only has a TD5 in it, and the semi external roll cage isn't right either. :rolleyes: I love the tow rope they used to pull it out of the shed is left on the ground! 🤣

    Yep the 4L was the one, came in Atlantis Blue or white Gold, so where the bronze green came from who knows. But the flip-flop Atlantis blue does look green if the light is right,as that is what it flips to.

    Some people did dress their's up to look like an Anniversary, presumably thinking there was some cachet to it, and maybe some were still in stock and sold later than 1998. Mine has it clearly printed on the V5C which is why I said OP needs to look at it. Check out the specs of them here...

    Paypal just got back to us to say that they can see we are right although W somehow only managed to dispute €1 of one payment, lord knows how! They are now willing to file a dispute/claim thing. We will see.

    Aha! So I was at least half right then. I'd be very tempted to try and drive it with the faulty MAF disconnected to see it they have a "get you home" map.

    Have spent since about 10:30 messing around with PayPal, and Axa. I did what W would have done if her pills for pain weren't making her foggy. On her PayPal statement there are two separate different invoices for the same correct amount. So Paypal passed them and paid them without querying...

    @Mark Piercy or @gstuart will know I expect. but to me it doesn't sound normal at all, unless it is to do with twin turbos or something? You can tell I don't have a D4! But on a D2 TD5 this is typical of a misbehaving MAP/Iat sensor. On THIS engine you can disconnect the MAF and it puts the...

    Huge shower of rain this morning, at least it wasn't hail. Having great trouble getting my left welly on. This is in a pair that were bought especially for my odd sized feet and it fitted fine all last year. Once on it fits fine. I think my leg swells up a bit. This is the one that I had...

    If it is an Anniversary model it'll say so on the V5c.

    Took me AGES to find any sort of a thread on here on removing and replacing the TD5 notorious oil pump bolt. And that was a link to a YouTube, which wasn't all that good! Still at least I have somewhere to go. Now got to source the parts. Over here.:rolleyes: My useful neighbour isn't in today...

    Funnily, because I have a dodgy back, I swopped the seats when the one on the driver's side went, A little awkward when it came to adjusting the back etc but feasible, and drove it like that until it went too! So I took the original driver's one apart, very gingerly as they are leather and...
