Not mine but a beautiful 1990 300tdi in for a front wheel bearing. The wheel is literally ready to fall off👌😎👍

Happy to hear it. So why you spendin so much time looking at the top totty thread?? Hmmm???!!!;)

Now hey boy, I say hey boy. The cat can look at the queen but the queen can't make me happy👌

I'd be thinking the drivers window/mirror control unit is duff. If have the door open and wiggle the rubber tube where the wires pass through from the body to the door and see if anything changes.

So the air line travel passenger side down towards the rear and across past the boot floor to the other air bag? If so the heat shield that sits Infront of the boot floor has rusted loose and is hanging on by a thread. And that's extremely...

Melted pipes are likely. buy yourself a length of pipe and run temporary feeds to the rear bags.

My exhaust is ****ed , previous owner had one of those cheap eBay back box deletes , it doesn't seal at all and doesn't join up to my center box like a half inch gap in the join.

+1 on try the tailgate trick. If where you park makes that a bad idea, you could take Fuse 44 out, which has the same effect as removing the relay.

At the front of the chassis legs there are 2 short sections, crush items that can be replaced. It all looks fixable to me.

Don't keep the rad tho ...

Morning Just took a look at my cross member, I would say it is not much of a job. Remove bumper and all other parts to give good access but keep it driveable. Take pictures and then go to local sheet metal or welding shops, they will love this...

Once you’ve come round a bit, realise the opportunity this presents and weigh up your options from here in ; Itl soon lift your spirits :vb-angel1: Rest up Itl be fine.

Yes but any repair workshop could probably weld a replacement in. Cost vs replacement P38 depends what you want. Yours was getting rusty before the accident anyway. If you don't want to repair yours use it as a donor car for a cheap P38.

+1^^^^ The pipes run along the top of the chassis left side, very close to the exhaust.. Remove the inlet filter from the compressor to prove it's sucking by applying you finger to the inlet.

I've known the cap on the airbag to come loose enough to leak on a brand new bag.

The rear air pipes are very close to the exhaust and any exhaust leaks can melt the pipes hence causing air to leak out

If the compressor is running constantly, either it is worn out or, more likely, it's still feeding a leak, otherwise the pressure switch would turn the compressor off. The rear drops which confirms there is a leak. The driver pack has no...

That narrows it down as the compressor is brand new I'm talking 1 month old maybe 2. By exhaust leaks are we talking valve block exhaust or the physical exhaust off the engine I personally rebuilt the valve block and there is no leaks from...

It does that🫣

Leaks where the pipe goes into the airbag maybe, they can be quite hard to insert far enough, soapy water test needed. Leaks in the pipework due to exhaust leaks is also a possibility. Pull the EAS relay and see which corner if any drops.

True that! Found some heat-protective tubing that is also used as a general wiring protection. And it is much cheaper! We'll see tomorrow, if I ge to the point of testing and the test is successfull! Fingers crossed, because I found a set of...

Forget th3e metal tube, use plastic, much safer in the case of wires chaffing.

Remind me again, cats sleep. A lot! Turned out that picking up where you left before a three week vacation, and a night drive back home, is a bad idea. The horn is installed (bolt one), the diff switch retainer around the gear lever is installed...

Whatever I do today, I have professional help!

All of mine do. Hence accidental drain battery one time when I forgot to unplug front and rear cameras, and left her sitting for 2 or 3 weeks. 🤦‍♀️

Very true👍 The word consistent isn't anymore🤷

Aftermarket props are sometimes different.

Take your pick 😜

Are we still talking about quality subwoofers and some good in and out action to make sweet music?
