So it turns out they are handed but only in terms of the connector from the loom to the switch (and the little seat picture). A left hand connector from a donor vehicle soldered in place sorts it. Fritz

Afternoon all, I've always though the heated seat switches in my 54 plate SE TD4 were left & right handed but are they really? I can see that they have different parts numbers but the left & right on my car look remarkably similar. I'm tempted to just try the ledft hand switch attahed the the...

Hi Paul At 1.03 it shows a plastic clip that the bloke pushes back into the ring on the end of the push rod. He re-uses later in yellow brush handle. It's that plastic clip that's U/S on mine. I didn't realise it came out but having seen that video I guess i can take the clip from the donor...

Hi Andy I mean the plastic bit on the end of the push rod. I've circled it in red on the attached image. If I can switch it from the donor vehicle i will but not sure if it comes off or more importantly goes back on? Fritz

Ok, I found an image of both on Rimmers and it looks like it's the locking part of the plastic bit on the end of the master cylinder that's decided to self-isolate from the rest of it. New master cylinder or fixable (I have a donor vehicle)? If so are the cheapo aftermarket ones any good or...

Afternoon all I have an issue with my clutch in as much as the clutch pedal pokey out bit that locks onto the end of the master cylinder push rod has popped out. I've popped it back in but I'm not convinced it's going to hold long. Am I correct in thinking that the bit on the clutch pedal is...

Hi, thanks for the reply. I now have two new drive shafts. Sorry it took me so long but I forgot my password adit wouldn;t reset through my email for some reason. Fritz

Morning all, Please can someone point me in the direction of decent aftermarket front drive shaft assemblies for an 04 TD4. Thanks guys Fritz

Leak back test?

I had two injectors fail with similar symptoms to yours but before they failed completely it was much harder to start either hot or cold, can't remember which way round though. Does that sound familiar to your issue or not? You can pick up a leak back test kit for about £ 20 off ebay but not...

Hey all So when I first get in the car in the morning I get a knocking noise from the front offside when going forward on full left hand lock. It seems to go away once the car has been driven for a few minutes. Now some of you may remember that I had an MOT fail for a torn CV gaitor a while...

I think they may be talking about the soft back for the 3 doors. I could be wrong though. If so then e-bay is the best bet. They do come along from time to time but can be very expensive when there are none around.

I use a Connects2 adaptor for the steering remote. It was about £ 20 and works well. Fritz This is the one I bought...

Kwik Fit are currently doing an oil (manufacturers recommended) & filter change for £ 55.00. It's called Essential Care service (or something like that). If you look on the voucher sites they also have a 10% off offer kicking about. I got my wife's CRV done the other day and they said its the...

@Nodge68 If I was looking for something to run off grid for long periods I would definitely have to factor in no sun days but effectively I'm looking for this to run across weekends so basically a selective 48 hour period. It's not the end of the word if I run out of juice, it just means the...
