Hi there If memory serves the SD4 is 190 bhp, I’ve got the TD4 160 and it’s great. Regarding towing, diesel’s are built for it. I’m confident you won’t see any issues with towing. You’re already close to the towing capacity anyway too. It’s also about the structural integrity of the car not...

Regarding your rear windows the solder joint can split on the PCB I know this as I have same issue. It’s a repair that was covered in LRO a few years ago. You may have to learn to solder too mate.

I have a D1 and am teaching myself to weld as it wouldn’t be worth doing it if I paid someone else. When I first started this journey I had a shed , now I have a workshop….. you get the idea. Regarding your starting issue, check the fuel sender too. It’s located in the boot under the carpet etc...

Cheers, I’ll start checking. Thanks for your advice as always :)

Also I forgot to mention when I took the intercooler pipe off to check and reconnect, there was oil splurge inside which I cleaned out. Could that be the intercooler shot? Thanks for your help

Hi Tried to upload a screenshot but the website had a hissy fit so here goes P02299 Turbocharger/Supercharger “A” Underboost Condition. Cheers

Hi all I’ve just fitted my 3rd intercooler hose to our FL2. I know it’s a common weak spot. This time I’ve gone silicone! However the EML came on and as I was riddled with Covid when I fitted it the first time, I thought I’d take it all apart clean a refit. She drives fine , no smoke but after 3...

Welcome!

As well as my beloved D1 we have an FL2 on our drive. Absolutely bullet proof - never let us down - Enjoy!

I ended changing only 3 of the injectors and leaving the wired one in as I was completely baffled by it. Tricky as it may seem I do like the power and she really surprises me at times - well she used to.....:(

I own a 300tdi D1 Auto EDC Jap Import and I have to say she is lovely. A bit tricky when comes to changing injectors as found out as there's a wire connected to one of them which threw me a bit. Anyway a miner detail. She's been off the road for a couple of years or is it 3? NOOOOOO!! due to a...

Cheers. With more tech brings more problems it seems Thanks again

Just to let you know my Disco fired back into life this morning. I’d already changed the sender unit etc last year. Turns out the battery wasn’t as good as I’d thought. I bit the bullet and invested in a Jump pack and after charging the battery again got a nice fast turnover as suggested by...

Cheers appreciate the advice

Not sure really. One thing I forgot to mention is I did dilute the tiny amount in the tank with a gallon of fresh diesel. But I’ll drain and refill I think. Just wasn’t sure if changing the fob remote battery meant the immobiliser wasn’t registering a signal from the remote and needed...
