Above instructions are for a facelift, if you have an early model just have a look in RAVE, covered in there

Steering wheel doesn't need to be removed. -disconnect battery and wait 10 mins -lower steering wheel to lowest position -2 screws above instrument panel -3 screws behind rubber between steering wheel and instrument panel N/B be gentle with the rubber easy to snap rubber pins -1 screw either...

Found the issue, the intercooler hose t-bolt wasn't tight enough, no smoke and car pulling lovely, taking it for a long drive to clean out the lungs after fitting egr bypass

I think so, put it on six with both fuel and air togs down

Scratching my head, received my Synergy 2a with pierburg MAF and fitted today, both error codes are still return once cleared and MAF readings are the same as before. Now black smoke above 2000rpm when go pedal to the floor and slow acceleration. Any ideas, car was driving fine before fitting...

Thanks Teddy and dfossil, exactly what I was looking for. Lowbank not sure who your question is directed to but the cradle I received from totalparts is a Bearmach one and seems to be same pattern as original LR one.

I mean in what order and does the prop need removing or can I just drop the rear

With regards to best approach I mean a rough how to, drop sub frame, intermediate exhaust etc. Thanks Will

I'd agree with most parts but just a metal plate doesn't warrant it, especially as at that price I can buy 6 times and I can't see it rotting any worse than the genuine one

Firstly has anyone replaced this and advise as to the best approach, I've searched and can't find any good info. Second if anyone is looking to get one I've seen other threads where people have been charged quite a lot for bad condition second hand ones I've just sourced a new bearmach one for...

At the bottom of this page tuning-diesels.com/75Zt/R75maf.htm are the figures I went by. On the project car my readings were pretty much identical to the very faulty MAF. My other one rather oddly was 514 at idle with lower figures throughout the rev range.

Funny thing is this one was bought as a project, as my standard 2004 TD4 S has been so good with no major issues, aside from new clutch, fuel pump, brake servo, regulators (the usual). Drove my good working car and the MAF has gone bust and the ns CV needs replacing, so break time from the...

Haha, I felt the same when I had a hire car (Astra SRI) couldn't wait to get back in a Freebie. How did it go with the MAF, did the replacement sort the issue? Really busy weekend, sorry for the late reply. Had both cars on the diag today and both MAF are are messed up, one is reading too high...

That's not good bet she wants yours until you get it fixed haha. From what I remember they were progressive through the range I'll take some data tomorrow and post.

The freebie sport premium I bought as a project to do up has just passed its MOT :):). When I got it had all lights on the dash, speedo and rev counter not working, no windows working, broken tailgate handle apoxied to the bloody paintwork, powerfold mirrors not working, masses of white smoke...

Thanks Guys, I'm servicing it next week so will give it a clean out then and check the wiring. Live data appears ok nodge found a thread on here and my figures matched up to someone with an ok MAF. Car drives perfectly and pulls throughout the rev range, which is what made me think the wiring as...

Hi Guys, Am I right in thinking that the above codes would point towards the MAF wiring harness. Any information or advice appreciated. Thanks, WIll

Before changing the driveshaft thought i'd take it to the local indie to have a quick check, turns out the banging is from the exhaust hitting the engine. Rubber jammed in as a quick bodge, will have a look at the engine mounts to try for the proper fix.

Thanks for the replies guys, thought it was the anti roll bar drop link so changed it, the top bolt just span someone had killed the inner thread so no Allen key would fit and the shaft had been rounded off. To add to my woes the bottom nut was stuck, tried everything and didn't budge had to buy...

I believe the problem is with the CV joint but can't find much information regarding replacement online, RAVE or haynes. Price difference between CV kit and driveshaft is £15, is it an easier job to just replace the whole driveshaft ? both RAVE and haynes say to remove caliper and ABS sensor. Is...
