Lol I think mine might be becoming a manual pump after an investigation on Saturday

Humph fuel problems on 300tdi with EDC pump. Just returning from MOT which it passed and started losing power. Changed fuel filter the seperator has been bypassed. Cleaned screen in fuel lift pump and then changed lift pump . When cranking I get fuel coming out of top of filter at union that...

Unfortunately I had set off in a borrowed workshop with someone else's welder etc. As I said it was a nightmare 🤣

Well that's what I did with my 3 door but it turned into an absolute nightmare trying to weld thin stuff onto the heavy box section. Also this vehicle spends 90% of its life on tarmac so no real need for jacking off the sills.

Yes that part is sound rest of it's poor lol. Is it just spot welded?

Humph I have started taking off plastic trims in preparation for welding new sills. Gone to use it tonight and won't start. Central locking isn't working on the fob but does from the key. Tried disconnecting the battery earth and no charge when reconnected. New battery in the fob and still no...

Hi all having to sort the sills ready for an MOT. I have decided to replace like for like rather than going box section like I did last time.

Hi all. Despite what some might think I want to get the Aircon on my 300tdi es working but..

Any help much...

Stripped the separator again and still had air. Stripped cleaned and refitted th tank connections and bing no air. Car running much smoother than it ever has and flat out up long hill no stutter. Hopefully that's it

Yes same lift pump filter and sedimeter. I suspect air leak at sediment trap . Will get it over a pit today and potentially bypass the sediment trap until I can get a new unit

Oh sorry it's a d1 300tdi auto with the dreaded EDC pump

Well very frustrating. Fitted new fuel pump after suffering from no fuel at filter. No difference. Checked pipework at tank sender end all good. Removed separator bowl found some sludge but nothing serious but fuel now pumping all ok for a 5mile test run. Did a few other little jobs and still...

Hi all I am wanting to change my rear door on D1 to a lift up arrangement. Would there be any interest if I get a fibreglass mould made?

Hi all I have fitted new master cylinder and new front calipers. Freed off the rear and fitted new good quality pads all round. Bled the system the old fashioned way with wife in car down up lol. Brakes definitely not as good as they should be. If I exhaust the servo and hold pedal down it drops...

Hi all I am looking for some advice regarding paint prior to welding box section cills into my d1. I intend to try the buzzweld paint to finish but wondering what to use in areas that will be hidden but not sealed. Tia kev
