my daughter wants to buy a 2010 onwards vw polo. its either the 1.2 petrol or diesel engine. it`ll mainly be used for local commuting up to 10 miles per day monday to friday and leisure miles at the weekend. i started to do a bit of research and was wondering how other people are getting on...

i gave bearmach a call yesterday to get the `v6` upgrade for my hawkeye. they said, "if you wait for a month, `v7` will be out" so there you go, hawkeye users.

hi, been working on the d2 this afternoon and noticed the lower front suspension bushes are knackered. so checked all the turret nuts would come undone, which they did. but the bolts for the lower bushes are very corroded and will need replacing. going to order new dampers all round and would...

hi, could someone tell me the thread size of the banjo bolts that go into the ace rams. from searching on here. it could be m10, but its not a definite. i plan to substitute the banjo bolts for grease nipples. thanks

hi, looking likely i need to change the ps pump on my d2 td5. just need some clarification on part number please. i`ve found that QVB101350 is listed for both the defender and discovery on some websites, and that QVB101240 is solely for the discovery. seems QVB101350 is about £50 cheaper on...

I heard this story from my wife today after she came home from work. the son of one of her work colleagues took his car driving test yesterday. the test was at short notice, and his driving instructor was not able to be with him. so he got another instructor to give him a couple of lessons...

just changed the 18`s that came with the vehicle for a set of 16`s i got off ebay. the tyres have between 1 & 2mm of tread. i deliberately ran the tread down before swapping over the wheels. i paid £90 for the 16`s. if i get my money back with the sale of the 18`s. then great. if no interest...

but. i need you guys in the know to confirm my suspicion. got a call from my wife on saturday to say the "self-levelling suspension" light was on. i was in belgium at the time and got back monday night. got in the car tuesday, started it and drove it and the light did not come on, both air bags...

of how much diesel is in tank. stopped working today. added 20 litres and no difference. done a search and its probably the sender unit/fuel pump. but not conclusive. any one got some other ideas i might try. thanx.

something to watch out for. the turbo hose popped off the metal pipe that replaces the egr valve on the inlet manifold today. reason being, there is not a lip on the metal pipe. the jubilee clip was tight and it had been fine since i fitted it about a year ago. going to replace the hoses as they...

hi, generally over on the discovery side as i have a td5. today i helped a friend change a solenoid in his td4 auto gearbox due to harsh gear change. unfortunately, no difference after the change. we noted there were 7 solenoids in total in the gearbox. the one we changed cost £44. if we change...

i know how to adjust it out after going through the search facility. But. i have maybe 1/4" to 1/2" play when first getting in the car, and zero play after starting the engine. i`m assuming this is because the power steering pump brings the system up to pressure. so should i leave alone:confused:

read various threads, and as i understand it. the oil capacity for a td5 is about 10 litres. but only 5 litres can be drained out in one go. apparently the other 5 litres is still in the tc, cooler etc. is there any reason why i could not start the engine and run through the gears for a couple...

hi, some advice wanted please. basically, my daughter got off a bus outside college. checked the time (8.25am) on her i-phone, put the phone back in her breast pocket of a body warmer. walked the short distance to college. put her bags and body warmer into a locker and went off to her class. at...

hi, normally over in the disco section as i have a td5 and a hawkeye. a mate has a td4 and i`m going to find out from bearmach how much it is to get the unlock code so that my hawkeye will do his td4. gotta feeling its about £150, hope i`m wrong. alternatively, anyone around bromley, kent area...

just noticed on the passenger door of my td5. the door stop, the thing betwwen the top and bottom hinge. it`s bolted to the door but it`s come away from the pillar. how is it fixed to the pillar and is it repairable? i assume some interior dismantling will be required. thanks steve

wife came home from work this evening about ten saying the horn keeps beeping. i thought she must be accidently hitting the steering wheel buttons. we have only had the td5 a few weeks now, so basically ignored her. well i`ve finally pulled the fuse and relay for the horn after waking up the...

hello people, after much nagging from the wife and kids. we (i mean i)gone and bought a discovery td5 auto. the kangoo was just too uncool. (seemed perfectly practical to me) only had it a couple of weeks and it `s growing on me. probably because i`ve been able to fix the little niggles myself...
