Some old sh*t bust my wing mirror this afternoon and didn't stop [he did after I followed him and pulled him over] and then, after fiddling with the other side to see the mechanism, I bust the NS myself. Clever eh? Can someone kindly point me to an online source for replacment glass...

:rolleyes: Providing you add a little fairy dust each time you fill up. Will

I have, and it's coated in oil. My mechanic has now the part in stock, I just need to get to him to have it replaced. Would this solve my problem? :confused: Thanks, Will Ps. In the eight weeks I've had it I've noticed a small patch of oil in the passenger side footwell, about the dia. of...

No idea where you're getting that from. I've had a 52 plate ES auto for two months now, EGR removed a month ago and the best I've had is 25mpg [160 miles round trip]. Around town and to work and back I vary from 20-22mpg, i.e. short journeys [as the original poster outlined]. Will

I had a service recently and had the [Td5 Alive] EGR kit installed at the same time. Ever since I got it back the car has stalled, pretty much every other day. The latest was yesterday when it happened twice soon after setting off. Anyone come across this? Could it be to do with the engine...

Many thanks, booked in for tomorrow. :) Will

Came out of the house this morning to see the rear NS corner of the car far lower than the rear OS corner. The wheelarch was about six inches lower than the opposite side, and the wheel was tucked well inside the wheel arch, very close to the bodywork. I left it on the drive last night all...

Me too. I was given a print out of all work done following the end of the LR warranty period. Good enough for me. Will

You can say that again. So, you identified this yesterday morning and today are prepared to take a huge four figure loss and sell for [£50] scrap? I'm reading this right, am I? Will

38mpg? I hope so, but I doubt it! ;) Will

Filled up again last night, 317miles cost me £76.00. 20.5mpg :rolleyes: All short journeys since the last fill up [my wife is using the Td5, I'm using our Rover 75 for work and getting 40mpg in rush hour]. Td5 in the shop today; 60k service and EGR to be removed. What will be will be. Will

Hey, And so you should :) Auto or manual? Will

Hi Steve, Kit arrived today [I can see why Td5alive are doing so well :D] and will be fitted tomorrow. I'll report back in the coming days, and in a week or so after a fill up. :) Will

Kit on it's way from td5alive :) Will

Don't get me started on those 'heavy plant crossing' signs. Been caught out far too often with those. I sat on a park bench once that had just been painted, sign said 'not dry paint'. Go figure, huh? And I won't dare tell you about the first time I bought a car with cruise control...
