Just to clarify, if you select Gulf spec as an country code then it will disable the immobiliser? so therefore no more keycode lockout problems? I was under the impression that this was impossible to do. Maybe rick can confirm? This is a big issue for lot of owners i suspect.

It's been nearly 5k miles since my test. Problem I had was those oil cooler pipes which were weeping oil at the metal to rubber joints. What I used as a temp fix was buytl tape. Clean the joint with take cleaner and wrap the butyl tape around. No more leaks.

I did this enquiry a while back, managed to find the only uk stockist who said they only had 4 pairs left and they wanted over 80 quid plus vat for 2 blanking plates!

does anyone know why the RF reciever becomes duff? I know nothing about RF btw.

I used this Hozelock 5L Garden Sprayer - review, compare prices, buy online I took off the lance part and fed it into the fill port on the sump. Makes the job easy and you have full control. I filled the gearbox and transfer boxes this way.

Petrol it is then, second thought was brake cleaner, but that's more expensive! What about the intake ports on the car, bit worried about bits of this gunk falling in? Any tips? Tia

Child seat plastic, it's looks like a bit of plastic which covers the runners for the isofix system which the p38 don't have. Other wise it could be a cover for some thing under the bonnet?

I am going to replace the glowplugs soon and I know while I am going to have the Intake manifold off,it will with the EGR need a good clean, as from memory a couple of years back, the thick black oily gum was caked in these parts and this time I want to clean them properly. I have been toying...

Update.. All done, front diff oil was thick and clean, rear diff was thick and dark. transfer box was very dark, smelt like licorice , auto box was red and clear. New diff oil seemed a lot thinner and lighter in comparison, not very hard to do, quick test drive shows slightly less jerky from 1st...

You also pay more tax on your car which means you contributing to the economy, do like shopping at waitrose though!

Fairly sure its dexton3 , not sure how to drain either, but you will need 2 litres to refill.

How do I know which I have?

Update: ordered my oils, going to use a hozelock pump spray bottle for the ATF fluid, not sure if the thicker diff oil will work with that plan, any suggestions?

Sounds like a plan,and would make it easier to check level, but why was it deleted in the first place?

Datatek I think your right, I am assuming this nut can be undone and refitted? wasnt sealed for life rubbish was it?

Just performing some prep work before I carry out the fluid changes... I had to remove a plastic tray with a plastic pillow in it before i could see the AT pan. I found the drain port which looks like a 5 or 6mm allen key, and the fill port which looks like a massive nut with a small bump in...

bump:)

Totally agree with Irish etc, so would you put a budget atf and change more often? If so which brand have you used and was it ok?

According to previous replies I found this on ebay...would you use it in your car? ATF DIII (DEXRON 3) Automatic Transmission Fluid 20 ltr on eBay (end time 22-May-11 17:29:19 BST)

Problem is I don't know if it has ever been changed, further more I'm reluctant to buy the best quality if I know only half of the old stuff is going to come out. Why can't the torque converter have drain and fill ports? Or are all auto boxes designed this way?
