Does anyone know of a make of drop link with the word "forge" somewhere in the manufacturer's name? Having been through numerous crap makes over years that only last 1yr tops I went for these ones as someone in this section recommended them. That was nearly two years ago and they are just...

I've had an oil leak from my IRD for a while. It's not from the driveshaft seal, it's coming from the top of the IRD. While under there recently I discovered two things: 1) the breather pipe was disconnected, leaving the spigot to splurge oil out over the IRD, and 2) there's a stud poking out of...

Right, this poxy thing is really winding me up now. The old tailgate window regulator was intermittent, and when in "failure mode" (glass stuck, door not opening) I put it into self-test mode and was able to see that inputs from the switch in the cab were OK, door handle OK, output to the motor...

Been suffering with the tailgate glass being stuck in the up position of late. No amount of jiggery-pokery with the remote fob or window switch inside will persuade it to lower. As a result the tailgate won't open as the glass cannot drop. The rear wiper intermittently works in this state...

...right ankle yesterday while gardening. I missed a hole in the ground, put my foot in it, twisted my ankle over and heard it snap over the sound of the petrol strimmer!! Father's Day and my 11th anniversary too. Great day :mad: So, no Freelandering for me for 6wks+ until I'm out of plaster...

I've got to dismantle bits to put a new set of cables on the window winder mechanism. The plastic vapour barrier is pretty knackered anyway, but I fear it will be completely shagged by the time I've finished doing the job. So are there custom made ones available, anyone know? If not I'll...

Anyone else every experienced this? My Td4 had to have an injector replaced a couple of weeks ago. It was done in an indy garage and they popped a recon Bosch in (thankfully without hassle). Prior to the replacement I was getting about 35mpg. Visually the fuel gauge would just start to...

I need to do the IRD driveshaft oil seal on my Td4. I only have a torque wrench that goes up to 210Nm, but that's nowhere near the prescribed 400Nm. I'm not paying £100+ for a large torque wrench I may use once in a blue moon either. Now, being a good boy, I intend to replace the hub nut so I...

Like several others here and on the MG forums (those that have Td4s in their vehicles), I've been suffering a lazy thermostat recently. This was really brought to light this week when the temperature dropped and I had virtually no hot air, and the temperature gauge hardly got up to 1/4...

Over the last couple of days my Td4 has been intermittently starting. It'll turn happily, but won't fire when it does this. Having read plenty on here before about the two fuel pumps, I popped the bonnet yesterday, gave the under bonnet pump next to the fuel filter a whack, wiggled the...

I replaced my rear brake shoes a few months ago. The drums were fine, but just needed cleaning all round. Everything was OK until a couple of weeks or so ago when I noticed a sort of "thrum, thrum, thrum" noise from the back under braking at about 20mph and lower. The regularity of the noise...

I've owned my Td4 for about four years now and have never known what the name of the "red" paint is that it's sprayed with. I've got a few little stonechips I need to sort out this year and need to get a touch-up stick, but I haven't got a clue what colour I'm looking for:confused: Long shot...

Here's one that's been bugging me for a while... When the heater/blower controller is set to either the screen demist position or the feet/face position on the dial I get a loud whirring/sucking noise from under the dash. It only does it in those positions, and is completely independent of the...

Hello to all. First post on here, but I've been looking at LZ for a while and it seems like a pretty knowledgable community :D so here goes... Problem 1. I've got a small leak somewhere on my Td4 exhaust. It's definitely on the front sections, but, having been over the rest of the exhaust with...
