I took the edges off mine with a grinder as it wouldn't fit in the gap between the propshaft joints, works a treat, but take care not to overdo it !

I have had my DT for 9 months, new glow plugs and thats it, so far, touch wood, get the ocasional 'Test Book' on the HEVAC unit, but switching off the ignition and back on and it clears, recently the trip and speed alarm buttons stopped working, but hey i can live without that in the short term...

Gross train weight = weight of towing vehicle + trailed weight, gross train weight of 3500kgs = 2000kgs towing vehicle + 1500kgs towed weight = 75% of the towing vehicle weight. YOU LEGALLY CAN NOT TOW MORE THAN THE TOWING VEHICLES WEIGHT. Rob....still knows his limits. With relation to the...

My DT auto does 22mpg to work and back (average speed on trip counter 24 mph), mix of traffic and open road, and 28 on a long run at a steady 65-70. Though the trip counter gives optomistic mpg readings, the above are worked out on filling the tank up

Woo Hooo, ...to quote a phrase I read on here recently The spigots seem to have done the trick !!!! All i need now is a new set of wheel bolts for the spare which is an origninal, and a wheelbrace for the ex-Disco lll wheels, or anuva ex-Disco lll wheel for me spare

So we all need to watch for Wills update to see how he gets on at Ashcroft Transmissions

Hi Onyx No sure what the oil was , it was bought for me by a m8, and the container went to the tip with the old oil in it, you can only get out about half the oil out so 9.5l would be far more than you need, I got out about 5l and put in a 4.55l of ATF and a 700ml bottle of Lucas Transmission...

changed the oil 2day and added the lucas transmission fix, defo made a difference, smoother changes thru the box, 1st to second better but not perfect, if i floor it or press gently its fine , think i will live with it......

2.5 DT I get 34mpg on a long run at 70mph on the trip but when calculated by filling the tank again it's actually 28 And local runs I get 25mpg on the trip and calculated its actually 22mpg

Hi I am also getting 21.9 mpg when I calculate it, though the computer shows 24-25 to work and back, dual carriageways with lots of roundabouts On a long run to London, 160 miles each way the computer showed 32 and the calculated mpg was 28, that was at a steady 65-70 mph Attached is a pic...
