    TD5 alarm receiver re-site?

    Thanks discool. Your right of course, i meant to say that the fobs would not open the doors thus the car is "immobilised" until that operation takes place.That is why i fingered the reciever in the roof.

    Hello everyone. Just removed oil cooler after loads of oil found in header tank, cant see any obvious faults although i suppose under pressure? Any way, what is the best way to remove all the oil from the water, i did hear that dishwasher tablets were an option. Any thoughts ?

    disco TDI fuel consumption

    The truck drives fine,It has definitley lost power over the last 12 mths but it is still ok i just have to use low box more than i used to although this is mainly when towing at low speeds. it is a manual.

    disco TDI fuel consumption

    Even taking the 10% difference into account i would be still well short of your mpg figures. Are ther any other "service" items that you keep in check that i might be missing that are outside of the usual bits and bobs, injectors maybe? Is DEGR worth doing?, i have never been convinced?

    disco TDI fuel consumption

    No, engine is standard, but surely those items would not make that much difference.
