Hi, I started with the method described below but the plastic parts on mine (TD5 also) fitted together so badly that I doubted that I'd ever get it to seal. As stock I would get water marks in the air box, I guessed rain making its way in. Ended up scrapping the stock tupperware and fitting...

I have just replaced my tired but standard LR springs with Britpart standard springs. I also fitted Terrafirma big bore expedition dampers. It has transformed what was a very wayward ride to one that is now quite composed even when the roof rack is loaded with boards and kayaks. My missus finds...

I like the left leg workout aspect as well, my left leg is easily twice the size of my right one. I do have lots of trouble walking any where now though, unless its round and round.....:p

OOpps, grill first.........

On my 2003 TD5 it's just a case of removing the 4 bolts under the edges of the slam panel and then the panel itself, easy job....;) Mike.

I replaced my cat (2003 td5) with a straight through pipe after the cat became blocked with soot. The result to my ears was too loud and very intrusive when driving oround town. I cut the cat open and removed its guts and TIG ed it back up, Much better now and has a lovely turbo whistle which I...

I have to confess that I really do enjoy reading a good "my engine/gearbox/diff/etc" just exploded thread.:bowl: Is it just me with the morbid fascination? Commiserations to all those suffering......I've had my share:D

It's possible to do the injector seals without the proper tool, done mine...but the sympoms don't sound like leaking seals. Lots of smoke and running on a bit was what mine was doing when the the copper seals were letting by. Mike.

Cheers all, That is a good point on the bellhousing breather that I had not considered. I'll look at getting the axles and gearbox breathers sorted and report back.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Still not sure which way to go on the breathers, my Nanocom tells me that I get a small drop in pressure (30mB) in the air box when at full chat now that the snorkel is fitted and I'm wondering if this will result in an oily mess in the air box. Was also...

£61,845.......£43,495........They're really kicking the arse out of it at those prices....

If you see me out and about don't get too close as I am about to start teaching my oldest Son to drive in it :eek: Mike.

Hi Chris, I think I have a bit of this, Buy Flexible Ducting RS PVC 10m Long Grey Flexible Ducting Reinforced, 75mm Bend Radius , Applications Various RS 9110020750000 online from RS for next day delivery. It was an off-cut from work... (my less informed colleagues suggest that my...

Thanks guys, I might just plumb the breathers into the air box and see how I get on. Cheers.

Got a Mantec snorkle for Christmas for my TD5 110. I didn't like the look of the standard ducting in the engine bay so I have replaced it with a single length of 80mm id heavy plastic flexi. Should I be thinking out refitting the restrictive leaky dump valve? What have the snorkle owning...

Mines done 95K and still has the original UJs front and rear. They get a good greasing with moly every year when I do the service. Cheers Mike.

Hi, Best guess was LHS and a quick test drive revealed I had guessed wrong. Replaced the other and all is quiet. The price of the Britpart kit from Paddocks was too good to resist, I'll see how long they last. Took the old ones apart and there is a very small worn groove in the bearing...

Well, noticed that the TC light was coming on when in Front WD and warp warp warp noise. Rear prop on and front prop off and all is quiet and no TC lights. I believe the TC detects speed from the CVs at the front, so I will be looking at replacing CVs. Best to change both or best guess? I can...

Thanks James, I'll get some proper work done on Thursday and post what I find. The props have been regularly greased, think I'll leave the rear UJs alone. Mike,

Cheers James, Rear prop on and front off on Thursday, got work tomorrow.:( Ill let you know how I get on. Do like the price on those Paddock CVs and comes as a kit-which is good for me. I did have a good look at the rear prop and I can feel no play in it with a hand wiggle...
