I run 25 front and 30 rear on 18" AT2's. Used to run 30 and 36 but seems better lower. The only time the car skidded was when I was leaking diesel and I was creating my own skid pan!!

Starter is under the inlet manifold (drivers side of the engine)

Get under vehicle and look at starter motor, there is a single wire connected. Take this off, clean and reconnect. Normally works for me.

I managed to get a single in this size from AJS Tyres when I cut one of mine recently.

I paid £6k for a 52 plate TD5 with 80k miles last Nov - dry as a bone underneath.

Mike did my 02 TD5 D2, great result. Better MPG, no flat spot running up the gears and best of all if you need to put your foot down it really goes. Turned my truck into a car!

Great, thanks Brian

I have now fitted Cruise Control, but the switch did not include the metal bracket that is attached to the steering wheel. However it is the same as the one fitted to the remote radio control, so I used this as an interim measure and have removed the radio remote for the moment. I have checked...

Totally agree with thebiglad - I had the same problems when I got my TD5, difficult to get 1st to 2nd when cold and gearbox turned to soup after long high speed run. On recommendation changed to EVO1 from Difflock - completely different gearbox. Have been recommended to change again after...

Had mine dynachip'd today - great performance and good value!

Dynachip now done - turned my truck into a car. Great performance with NO smoke.

I have mine slotted down the side of the passenger seat showing upwards by the centre tray - too big to fit on the front shelf or in the map pocket above sunvisor.

Gone ahead and booked Dynachip as I have not read any negative feedback, so far! Will be done next Thursday, which will be followed by a trip to Wales to collect my lad from Swansea - looking forward to improved performance.

I had exactly the same problem - changed the battery in the FOB. Sorted the alarm but door still a problem.

I had same problem, like treacle after a good run. Changed oil for Evolution 1 and completely different truck.
