well, that's answered the one question - you can solder a new chip in, thanks - I'm in no rush really, just looking at my options

I have a 2000 reg'd td5 and I've been pottering around with it lately and managed to get myself hooked; So far, I've fitted a straight thru centre silencer removal pipe, a panel air filter, a 4.5bar fuel pressure regulator and tweaked the wastegate a little. It's made a marked improvement and...

Yeah, good thinking - So as not to look completely incompetent; I'll point out now that I've not looked at all yet apart from what I've noticed when driving

Wouldn't that do the same even when I take it out of gear though? As it happens, the handbrake needs tightening if anything but it wouldn't take more than a few minutes to slacken it right off first

I was a mechanic for 5 or six years after 5 years training but I've never seen or heard of anything like this; Car's a 2000 reg'd td5 with nothing fancy - it used to have air suspension as standard but now has springs, no ace or anything else for that matter. I have fitted the linkage etc to...

It's a dual mass, but that's not what it sounds like in my opinion though I've only ever seen a couple of noisy dmfs, they sort of clattered - this is more constant, like I said just like a noisy release bearing :dunno: though I doubt it's that as its new (deja vous - I thought that about the...

No

Exactly like a knackered release bearing, not chattering but not quite a rumble either, erm, the sound of something obviously spinning but not quite as smooth as a well oiled machine if that makes sense. Does it exactly the same time as a release bearing too - engine running, in neutral without...

Sorted it! Friction plate was dodgy, I tried to swap it but pay the difference on a better brand but sadly they didn't have any others! So, replacement ****part friction plate and another spigot bearing (just so I could be sure) and all better. Trouble is, the only reason for doing the job...

Bummer, wish I'd got 'round to that sooner then!

Anyone know if this still works please?

I haven't watched for that, but I ended up pressure bleeding it. It is behaving like it needs bleeding but, with the piston in the slave cylinder held back, the pedal's nice and firm :confused:

Any way of checking for this after it's fitted? I'd guess the car would move when in gear with clutch pedal depressed if this were the case - it doesn't :confused: It's been a few years since I was swinging spanners for a living :o I'm sure it shows :rolleyes:

I wouldn't know what to look for with the pressure plate to be honest, it's not normal to have to check a new part :suspicious: Yeah the friction plate said flywheel side on it, and I did check carefully the first time 'round but maybe not so much so the second - I'm sure I would have but...

To cut a long story short, I changed my td5's clutch, pressure plate, release bearing, pushrod clip, spigot bearing and new seals in the slave cylinder at the weekend and it's not really worked out well :confused: Now, I'm a qualified, time served mechanic (now a trucker, obviously) but I...

£75 with transfer box but no gear levers (swap yours across). I bought it but didn't need it in the end, so can only tell you what I was told about it (which as we all know may or may not be true). came from a D1 300 tdi and done 140k. looks to be in good nick but I've never used it or...

Doh! No problem, thanks for the reply

Don't forget me ;)

Assuming its manual, I'm after the plate from the transfer tunnel. It's black, steel, about 18" long, 10" wide, both gear sticks poke through it and it has lots of rivets holding it - 20ish around the outside and about 10 around a smaller plate / gaiter around the gear lever. Can you pm a price...

I normally blank / remove mine but have never noticed any difference to anything - mpg, exhaust smoke, temperature, increased wear and tear - none of it, it all stays the same as far as I've seen. I still do it though, just on the off chance that I'll save a little bit of fuel - it's not cheap...
