Thanks for the reply I will start a new thread on the journey of the head removal. One last question though - if my head was previously skimmed by. 009 thou (that's what the receipt says) if the head turns out to be warped again..... What's the a max that a head can be skimmed.

If the h/g was gone why would you like the system stay pressurised.... Even in the morning after it was all cool it still had some pressure in it Just looked through the papers and it had it's head skimmed and pressure tested 18 months ago, this was before it was owned by me. It was.009" thou...

Just put new calipers, disks, pads, exhaust mid section, back box, serviced the prop with new uj's and its mot Now have this to think about.... If it turns out to be the h/g not sure what I will do. I was happy doing the above. Not sure if a h/g is a step too far for my skills

Had the thermostat out and tested it with kettle water and it seem to work properly.... Hit tap water would not activate it but kettle water did..... Looking like h/g:mad:

Sniff tester?

When I stop... The fan does kick in sometimes. I have a new thermostat on order to change as a matter of course

I have a 2000 D2 TD5, I have been getting the limp mode becuase of high temp. I used to only get it on a week or so but yesterday it became worse The story So basically when coming home from work on a long 230 mile motorway drive, about 180 miles out it went into limp mode...I pulled over and...

robhew - you were right, got underneath and the front part of the front prop was moving abit - thankfully this is a job I have been planning for a while, so I had all the bits in the garage. Started last night and just finished. The centre bearing was a right cow to get out...in the end I had to...

It all feels fine - and also wouldn't the squeak be more in tune with engine speed if it was an engine component....or am I being too simplistic in my view ?

Hi Neilly - I will check that thanks

Good Morning - I need to find some time to get under the car this week but I though I would look for some pointers from the knowledge of users here. I basically have a metallic squeak when accelerating...it sounds a bit like when the brakes are getting old....but a month or so back I replaced...

Thanks guys.......I'll tie up those loose cables

My D2 is going in tomorrow and currently the headlining is out due to some 'repairs'....but the thought just crossed my mind on if it is needed for the MOT any thoughts? Cheers

I have also used a screw - I've removed the ERG and all the bolts came off nice and easily thankfully - but it was thick with black oily paste inside, the intake area was also covered. I've cleaned out what I could with a cloth but it still has loads of black gunk in there. The sensor on the...

I have bought a straight through mid section and a EGR delete product to fit to my D2 - but the EGR delete doesn't have one of those little black pipe covers to go on the vacuum pipe. What would be a reliable alternative - as I understand that this needs to be blanked off so not to effect...

My 2000 DII has colis at the back ( changed by previous owner) and I'm wanting to put the air back in. This is due to I keep getting the beeps coming back when I disconnect the compressor cables ( I have had the ecu reprogrammed ) and when the compressor is plugged in I get a flat battery if...

tutting is a good way of describing how it sounds !! Neilly - I did not do the re-programming and I do not have the ability to check....the funny thing is that I do not get any lights on the dash as errors so it seem that it knows I'm on coils.....but I do get the beeping (above 20mph) when the...

I have a 2000 D2 that is on coils at the rear and when I got it a few months back the battery was going flat and the compressor was constantly ticking away under the car - so I got the ECU reprogrammed to coils and the battery was replaced....all good A couple of days ago I noticed that I...
