Eyup chaps. :) Does anyone know if you can get the centre muffler box for the td4, that's just the one box with no cat. Cheers. Andy.

I have Grabber UHP's on, Aok so far and quieter than the previous Synchrones. I think they should be ok for light off road use and good in snow I hope. Time will tell.

I,ve recently put 17" General Grabber UHP's on my TD4, seem ok so far but the real test will be in snow, as I have a 22 mile commute with very steep hills. they look like they should be ok, but only time will tell I suppose. £530.00 inc fitting and ballanced.

Hi chaps. I tried the disconnecting the pipe from the EGR valve and plugging it as per above post, and didn't notice any difference to performance, but when I turned the engine off, some valve of something made a long growling noise for a few seconds. :confused: How do you stop this, and what...

Hi Alan. Have a look here for info. http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/andymacs/index.html Andy.

Check my website for info on changing the seals on the Bosch cp1 BEFORE you attempt it mate. :eek: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/andymacs/index.html

Well, got em on now (General UHP's), cost me £530.00 balanced and fitted, seem ok so far, and don't look bad either. Time will tell. :)

Haha, bet you feel the difference when you fill up though!:doh:

Maybe there's a blockage in the leak off pipe or it's trapped somewhere?

I've just ordered 4 General UHP's for mine, get them fitted on Friday. I wanted General AT2's but it seems they don't do them in 17". I'll let you know how they go.

Bargain.. :)

Hi Rob. It sounds like it's coming from the fuel pump or filter which is in a small compartment above the plastic cover you mention. You need to jack up and block for safety, and remove the wheel. then there are two bolts to remove and the whole tray assembly drops down. It is quite awkward...

Eyup mate. I'm in Skipton too. Andy.

If your blowing black smoke, it's less likely to be a split hose and more likely to be a collapsing hose and maybe nothing to do with the maf, as black smoke usually means a lack of air.:)

I get about 34mpg on a brimmed tank, and that's on home made bio. Cheap as chips! Smells like em too. Haha!

Aye, it sounds like lack of air to me too. injector problems usually give blue smoke.

Yus my dear, and I make it too.:)

Update!!! Sorted. After all the aggro I had changing the fuel filter It wasn't that after all, but turned out to be a split turbo hose. DOH!!! :doh: Noticed an oily mess splattered in the engine compartment and traced it to a split on the underside of the hose. Runs like a bird now. :):):)

If bio-diesel is properly processed, there is no sodium or potassium hydroxide or methanol in the finished fuel, so no problem. And personally I wouldn't like to use raw veggy in any vehicle, but especially not a common rail. :)

Hi Ian. No, managed to get it off ok, although it was quite corroded. Did yours have a strange looped clip down inside the plastic tube as well as the earthing pad? What's it's function, apart from making the new filter harder to get in?
