Seems inconsistent for the airbags to be the issue .. I would of said sensor first. In perspective it's only a piece of metal, it's people that matter...as I'm sure you are aware. Best regards for wife and family .. Persevere on the td5 ..they are great

Ahhh ... The intrigue ..

Logically ..how could this be ? Interested in that statement

If the guy who told menwas right, the scenario was if you got a puncture on the mML over a certain mileage it meant replacing both tyres due to geometry and it's electronic system and levelling .. If the difference was then over so many mm between new tyres and existing .. The manufacturer...

I seem to recall Mercedes ml series had the same advice on tyre fitting

Assuming you came out first thing and seen this sag..or is it like this once running ?

You should find once you started up it will level out... Should be fine though.

There is logic in that. . say a vehicle unsafe but for small items etc it is a pain to find yourself out of that window to rectify. Maybe a progressive path to how the Japan home market is .. They don't want old vehicles on the road.

Yep ..as in typical topgear fashion...that's cool

Have a friend who is a autoelectrician .. He has a section of racking he calls the 'honesty shelf' a place he puts bits on when he has misdiagnosed a problem, he counted up £3000 of spares, he admits he does make mistakes, but he does not pass it on to the customer, a rare breed amongst garages...

Mine was coming up with the intermittent M&S .. I done a filter and oil change first as it was on the cards ( 3 Rd change on a 90 k motor ) not convinced by a fluid change and no filter, doesn't make logical sense. Anyhow my problem is solved, coincidence?? .. Time will tell but the xyz switch...

My local independent landrover garage advised me to steer clear of the 3 series as when they got to 100k on the clock he said the running costs due to wear and tear was far in excess of the td5 2 .. That was 5 years a go .. I ended up with a low mileage 2002 and full service history at premium...

Cheers James much appreciated old chap ...

Evening chaps & any lasses Done a oil and filter change on a td5 2002 disco ( auto box ) .. This vehicle is currently on 89k on the clock, and filter change number 3 on the auto box, it was showing the M&S upon selecting reverse from park, so rather than dive into the XYZ switch I changed...

Conversation last week regarding fuel from cheap supermarket to your premium supplier like BP or Shell The article discussed was on fleet vehicles upto 7.5 tonne and below. The consensus was better fuel economy on your premium supplier and less engine problems over a 3 year lifespan of fleet...

I think we are lucky around here what with the mendip quarrying on our doorstep, along with the green lanes etc there are plenty to amuse with. I was just wondering as to there popularity and the draw of them.

Right of centre ... I fish shoot and hunt, ride bikes and eat meat, hope this qualifies me to ask questions on a forum without prejudice. Not sure what my sig' has relevance to on a question posed, that's my line of work not some underground organisation hellbent on destroying ones liberties.....:D

Hi Chaps... are these p&p's becoming popular? What actually constitutes a good p&p and what is the average uptake on these places. As a bike rider and offroader I find it incredible people pay for something I have free access to.... so what is the draw of them?

Heard nothing good about higher mileage ones with regards to MOT's and repair costs.....

I was told by a diesel injection specialist to never use a cleaner in the system.... never to run Red and stay away from supermarket fuel or to alternate fill ups if possible with Esso etc. Replace fuel filters under manufacturers recommendations as the cost was negligible and he showed me shelf...
