Being an HGV driver, any vehicle being used for commercial purposes over 3.5t gross whether a van or van/trailer will require a tacho installed.

Hi Guys, Some advice if I may, Having just help a friend who has a series 3 already with a 200tdi installed, we have just fitted a LT77 gearbox to accompany the 200tdi. All went well with a few tweeks, but for some reason we cant get into gear,clutch plate all ok, all lined up and new slave...

I have to concede that getting a good diesel car is the way to go. I just don't want to get rid if the old girl to help fund a new one. I best getting looking for a cheap economical work car!!

Hi Shippers, Had her since May last year, and she's ran better than she is now. I appreciate she's a weighty old girl but reluctant to get rid of her and need to make her just a tad more healthier!!

Ok will try to get someone to read any codes. It's only recently its started using more fuel and you can smell it. Going to change the fuel filter and do a range of oil changes next weekend. I've only ever been getting 12-13mpg even on a re set when running at sensible speed on the motorway. I...

It's deff wear on something and its getting to the point where I brace using my left foot when braking and accelerating!!

Right, Apart from my seat thread....... I'm going through a lot of fuel running the 30 mile round trip to work every day. Up to the point to where I'm now putting in about £50 every 3 days. This I can't sustain for too much longer, and the wise choice is to upgrade to Tornado chips and an LPG...

Hi All, I have a rocking drivers seat, does not rock dramatically but enough when you brake and accelerate. Has anyone else come across this and does anyone have a quick fix apart from new seat or runners. From what I can see it it rocking in the runner and is driving me nuts. Any help / ideas...

watched a youtube clip of someone replacing the seal and it was attached to this tool. I'm sure it's as easy as I think it is a long as it's not forced on I can't see a problem. I'm just miffed I forgot to order it before I needed to change the hub, but the hub and bearing just couldn't wait!

Well Hub now changed, brute force and ignorance and an extra long scaffold bar and plenty of plus gas to soak in!! Bearing was deff kur-knackered!!! Now just axle oil seal to do which I forgot to order. Anyone have the oil seal installation tool or what do you use instead???

it has plenty of plus gas and left it still no joy.

Hi Brian, It was an extended one with scaffold bar on it. Two of us tried it and gave up as didnt want to cause damage without first putting it out in the forum!!

HI All, Need to change the hub as bearing on the way out and I have a good spare. I found over the weekend that I cannot break the lock on the hub nut using a long bar, I don't have an impact gun but thinking of getting one. Has anyone else had trouble getting these off?
