Hi Stopover, thanks for the info. I've been a bit blessed with the car as it goes, 2 owners from new ( I'm the 3rd) and a service history as long as your arm. Certainly seems to make a difference. The steering rod was a pain - which was surprising since I only fitted it 2 years ago, but as I...

Thanks all for the thoughts - stuck some fresh petrol in and made no difference, also it had become more pronounced- around cylinder 6. Couldn't go for the injectors just yet so, I bit the bullet and removed the drivers side exhaust manifold (what a fun job), only to be greeted with a crack in...

I agree with Tony 2 - had both of these out on my cars - normally covered with fluff and dust. Look like they have a temperature sensor like the MAF on the engine so cleaned them with the same stuff after carefully picking of 12 years of accumulated rubbish, both are now a lot quieter. Involved...

Hi All, got a problem that's just reared its ugly head - car ( 99 thor, 4.6) used to run fine - but now under load it produces a distinct pinking from the drivers side of the engine. The car does not overheat. Thought it was the exhaust manifold - but can't see any problems with that, no...

Yep done this job, agree with wammers - rave has the correct procedure; to add, the upper uj lock nut near the brake modulator is very tight to get on from the engine bay - if you remove the drivers front wheelarch cover all will become apparent and and extension bar works wonders. Steering...

Thanks Everyone - roll on Saturday.

Hi All, I wondered if any of you could answer the following: I've got to change the front discs on my L322 ( 02 ), having read the RAVE page I was surprised to see that to get the pistons back it suggests you crack the bleed nipple as you press the pistons back into the calipers. Would this just...

Thanks All, good advice, hopefully will finish it by the week end!

Hi All, forgive me if this has been covered before, but I'm new to the forum..... Having just changed the CV gaiters on the front hubs I found no decent information in the w/s manual on when to torque up the hub bolts. Has anyone got any suggestions - I was thinking about fitting the wheel -...
