Great stuff, thanks for the info. the previous Numax stuff has been for CVX, which comes up as a leisure battery. I'll check this new one out for size, see if it will fit.

Guys, How long have you had the Numax Leisure batteries for, and how are they performing ? I've got a D1 300tdi Auto that is currently on a sluggish Varta E24. It failed to start this morning, so that's one week outside its 4 year guarantee....... :mad: Mostly short journey, and stop /...

Don't buy one of the cheap parts for your replacement. Buy the proper GKN kit, it's only a few quid more, but comes with central bushing as well. The cheaper kits look the same, but are made from recycled flip flops. I bought a middle of the road priced one, it lasted 2 months. The GKN...

Thanks guys. The oil & filter gets changed regularly with AllMakes and a semi synthetic. Last done about 800 miles ago. D1 service kits are about the only thing that are cheap...... I'm hoping that it's going to be a dodgy injector but i dont have any spare ones to hand, so it'll have to wait...

Thanks for the replies guys. The Egr is blanked off, sorry left that one off the list. And I've also cleaned the Air Metering Unit. Would a single injector cause so much smoke and problems? There was a bit of haze behind the motor that I could see on one day, then a bit more obvious black...

Guys, I have an overfuelling problem with the car, I've tried a few things that have previously been suggested on this site, need to know if im on the right track on where to go next. So any help appreciated. Discovery 1. 300 Tdi automatic, with EDC. It's pumping clouds of black smoke out as...

Ive got the same thing on both sides. I did fix one by sealing the seams in the windscreen wiper channel, under the bonnet. The passenger side seam next to the bonnet hinge was leaking inside and down the side panel. To find it, I had to remove the glove box and then cut the insulation so I...

If you are going to buy doughnuts, don't buy cheapies. Only buy the proper GKN kit. These are made of the right stuff as opposed to the ones made of recycled trainers...... Huge difference in how long they last.

Definiteley the bit that Paul has replied with. Before you buy anything though, also check the white coloured drive racks on the mirror motor. When I bashed my mirror the bobble on the end of one of these had cracked. It then broke off. It meant I had to get a replacement mirror unit...

I've got to say that the pump I have bought is QH and was marked as OE. Can't comment on what it looks like as it hasn't arrived yet. I did buy it from a decent auto supplier as well. I can say what a f*ckin pig of a job it is to replace seeing as my last bolt, yes the bottom one, is...

Cheers guys. I've gone for a replacement item with the G on the end of the part number. Ordered new bolts as well.

Guys, Thanks very much for this. Awesome response time, as always. I was getting a bit miffed at the online ad's showing prices from £12 to £30, but nobody saying who the maker was. Obviously I wasn't going to buy the £12 one with a recycled flip-flop for an impellor though !! I think...

Guys, 98 300 tdi auto I have tried searching the forum but can't find a thread that tells me which maker of pump to buy. Plenty telling me which one NOT to buy.... Is this one of those parts that I need to buy OE or is there a Bearmach or similar part that I should get ? If so, what sort...

Don't buy the cheap ones. They look the part, but are made out of old flip flops and last about 5 minutes. Buy a proper GKN kit, comes with the centre bearing as well. The difference in quality will soon be obvious.

Return pipes from injectors are allowing air in, requiring fuel pump to have to bleed each time you start it maybe ?

Cheers guys. Yes quick wipe is being used extensively and has now become the latest game in the wet. "Where will the wipers stop this time?" :D

Done. Check your private mail.

Are you getting any other signs or symptoms to go with the coolant loss ? Usually you can smell anti freeze if you have a leak under the bonnet. Are there any unusual noises like the gurgling under the dash, on acceleration, that you can get if the water/air mix gets pushed through the heater...

Cheers Guys. The Haynes does show the switch inside the motor piccie on the wiring diagrams. Yes, the motor fails to Park at all, but you have to go through the intermittent position to get to Off. Made for an interesting trip on the motorway yesterday when I really needed intermittent...

Guys, A quick question. My front wipers have just started to stop wherever they like when on intermittent. :der: I presume it's the Park switch and have done a search on the site for threads on this subject. Some answers say that the switch is replaceable. Is this the case for a D1 300tdi ...
