Yes. Or for the protection of certain wild birds. Hence the slightly tongue-in-cheek “stick some rape or fruit tress next to it”. 🙄

It'll be a split boost hoses as suggested above. Check the short hose below the throttle body, which is a common failure point on these.

Whooshing would probably be pressured side of the turbo. Only takes a small hole. There is a weak point somewhere that I've seen mentioned on here, a elbow joint that might even be plastic

I'm sure they need to be damaging to crops to do that.

Possibly not, but your original stated loss from imobaliser module would. Did the code return after clearing?

Can we ignore for a few years for it to be resurrected with "I have the same problem" or "what was the solution"

While a joint is ok, I'm not sure a reputable garage would use one. By the time the joint was made a complete pipe could be installed. A pain on axle stands to get in but probably easier on a ramp.

With everyone ignoring it this is the thread to finally come out of the closet to.

Depending on level of security a money tin might be ok. Leaving out of sight isn't always best as anyone who has access to the car,eg mechanics, may find it and you possibly wouldnt know straight away.

Something like a gun box would work. Possibly an ammo box would be smaller

There is the option for a second lighter for the rear passenger, the cable could be there under the cubby box. You can then easily fish cable where you want it, even inside the cubby box.

OK. Might have been worth mentioning your location for best results !!

Any newer diesel the dpf would be a consideration, do you drive enough to keep it clean and I would factor in replacement cost.

VCU is a good first check. Although a cheaper check though harder check, I would prefer to do is the auto-adjuster on the drums at the back. the spring that holds them in the right place and allows them to work without adjusting to the max each...

Thank you. Have since removed the master from the car and "un-built" it 😅 Following removal it looks like the seal for the fill under the actual container was very cracked leaking and just falling to bits, some other seals were good and others...

Ever since I got my 2003 TD4 Sport, the turbo lets out a growl or a rasping noise when it is working, say when the car changes down on a hill and the turbo comes in again. At 53k miles, I didn't think it was a turbo bearing, now at 68k it has...

Could be engine mounts.

K series, first thing to check is the compression to rule out head gasket failure.

Didn't know that. I know some cars do both from one set of pads.

Obviously not touching enough, is there a handbrake adjuster?

Looks like there's a head band to stop it rubbing on the pipes!

Check main ground from battery to chassis for good contact and ensure the crimp lug has no corrosion ,check ground strap from engine to chassis and gearbox to chassis and all subsequent earth points and ensure you have your DVM on dc voltage

Have you confirmed the battery is charging. Could be a bad earth, when it gives the fault test battery voltage plus to minus and also plus to earthed points, ie the engine. Should all be similar readings.

Changed the colour of my wheels back in 2017 from standard silver to bronze metallic 1 2 3
