    Tracking device?

    Where are you based? If cornwall, then I may be able to help - if not I can pass you onto another dealer.( I am doing free fitting at the moment for forum members.) Prices are the cheapest tracking systems to buy/maintain (that are any good) on the market....i know, I own a hire company as...

    price for a series

    I is due a new oil/ filter - not due to mileage, but time.I think it has cracked 800 miles in that time! But it is on ebay as we speak, as I am moving house and it has to go! I was planning on a strip down this summer (noisy thrust bearing)- but that is out of the window!

    Getting to the point of gving up!

    If your lambdas are mainly reading low at idle, then they are not responding in the correct way. This usually is down to a break in the wire. When you test, you inadvertently earth them in order to test. This will hide a break. Start by testing the new wire on the sensor - not near the join...

    Getting to the point of gving up!

    Sorry, I didn't see this post! What type Lambdas do you have?? There are two different types - one has two wires coming out, the other has six usually. The one with two wires are both earths, as they produce there own power. The six wire requires power. Although they will be responding, it...

    Petrol in ur diesel - mythbusters time!

    No, he wasn't lying to you! It is an old lorry drivers' trick from many moons ago that helped prevent mould forming on trucks whilst stood up. So farmers also adopted it for their combines and so forth. You can run a diesel engine at a maximum of 20% contamination without doing any damage -...

    Comments on leafsprings vs. Coil

    General rules is, springs are better on road, leaves better off road, but give a harsher ride.. The technicalities move around, but that is the general rule. Parabolics sit in the middle ground, where they are less rigid, and give a smoother on road ride with too much loss off road. Main...

    Dashboard cleaner that actually cleans...

    ^^^ What he says G101 - which is a multi surface cleaner that eats body fats (wear gloves). If you pop down your local pound store, you will see a vivid green bottle of some named 'multi surface' cleaner - same stuff, just more dilute! Will do the job though! You can also use Autoglyms'...

    Private plate

    He would need to hold on retention (£85) which includes transferring onto another vehicle. The current one would be issued its' original plate if available, or a replacement and can be sold. The private reg would be retained on a piece of paper in effect to be sold, or transferred later onto...

    Drivers door totally locked out

    Sounds like the spring has gone, common fault on these locks. Easy enough to replace (parts on ebay) for the mean time, just pull the lock bar up (that connects to the button)

    price for a series

    You really need a budget! You can start at £500 for a shed - or £1500 for a running resto S3. S2's are getting valuable now, though more 88" available, and S1's - don't even bother! In essence, you have a range from £500-15,000.....so you need to set a budget!

    So I fancy a CB Radio of some description, but...

    Quick release mount would be your best option. Push, twist and throw in the boot!

    Late Series 3 109" Diesel

    As there is very little difference between an S3 and an S2 - get an S2 - at least your tax is free!! Check chassis and bulkhead for rust - rest is ok!

    ex RAF 109.. Cant find identity.. very suspect?

    You may have to ascertain age/id from axles numbers, engine numbers and do it that way. Very few vehicles still have the chassis number still there, as many have had new front sections. If you had the reg number, it would give you an idea!

    Guess my secret news

    Congratulations! Look on the bright side, Number 2 may have come a few years early....but it means they will be leaving home a few years early too!:D This means you will have 2 extra more years of retirement to enjoy. So it is good news all round!

    Dewatering used engine oil?

    You can handle 20% petrol contamination amx. If it has had petrol in it, it will NOT vapourise! I have seen this tried with a lorry companies' tight-arse father, who decided to try it on a large scale. Unbeknown to the boss, this 'ventilated' waste diesel was fed into the lorries at night...

    A week of welding and still not finished!

    That brings back memories of doing my old one - black disco, blacked out windows - summer heatwave.......I was not enjoying myself at all! lol! Drank a few barrels of water. Neat job though!

    engines?

    300 tdi all the way! More refined than the 200, and still servicable and reliable unlike the TD5...which is a little more fussy. You can run a tdi on veg oil if you are that way inclined too.
