Hi Manual 2004 TD4. A while ago I had a driveway remap done, the type where a bloke pulls up in his van, plugs in his gadget and remaps the car, it runs nicely and a big difference. I've since fitted an Alisport intercooler, would it be worth having a rolling road remap done to make the best of...

Hi I've noticed a lot of oil around and underneath the air intake temp sensor, I assume this is coming from inside the boost pipe and somehow leaking out, I've checked the thread and washer and that's all dry so it must be getting betwen the plastic sensor and the metal body. Is this a common...

Hi 2004 TD4. Now I've replaced one of glow plugs it starts really nicely (all 4 are ok), but I've still got a the problem that I've had for years is, for the first minute or so it just doesn't want to rev, at 2k it's really lumpy, if I really hit the throttle it will pickup and once driven for a...

Hi My TD4 always starts fine in low temps but is very lumpy and sluggish for the first few minutes and kicks out some smoke if I rev it hard. Today I tested the glow plugs with my multimeter, I'm not great at understand resistance and what I should be getting. With my meter set on resistance and...

Hi My 2004 TD4 manual has developed a whistle/whoosh noise on acceleration and also when I take my foot off the gas, I’ve check all the hoses (apart from the one out of the turbo) but no leaks or splits. It runs fine, no smoke or ECU light. Seems to be getting worse, by that I mean it seems to...

Hi Does anyone know what is inside of the FL1 TD4 Vaccum chamber, is it just a single large space? I ask becuase a few people have suggetsed the pipes can be on the wrong way around (front/back), if it is just a single space then it won't make any difference. From what I can see the front pipe...

2004, FL1, TD4, Facelift. Today I fitted a new MAF (and housing), on the test drive I noticed a whistle/whoosing sound when taking my foot off the throttle, then I noticed it on heavy load and again when I took my foot off. I've checked all the pipes for splits and loose clamps etc and they seem...

Hi I took my injectors to a local tester, attached are the results. The report shows (last page) they are all under fuelling and the leak back is high (so I'm told), so I'm now thinking about replacing them but it's not a cheap job. The car runs fine but I wonder if a new set of injectors will...

FL1, 2004, TD4. Recently I have noticed a lack of torque, it struggled with steep hills and slow pulling away, motorway speeds were fine, no smoke or ECU lights. I had a look around the engine bay for anything obvious, I removed the injector cover so I could check the turbo vacuum pipe,when I...

Hi I'd like to add a 12v power socket in the rear of my FL1 (5 door), does anyone know it there's already a suitable power supply or should I run one from the center console? I've looked at various LR wiring diagrams but nothing obvious stands out. Thanks

Hi I've just got a 2nd hand Allisport Intercooler, I can't find any fitting instructions. Either side is a mount bracket with an alloy peg, it looks like this peg should go into the small hole but the peg is too big, I can drill it out but want to check that's what has to be done. Also, I can't...

Hi I'm looking for a easy way to be able to power a small 8L 12v cool box when parked up. A full split charge seems a bit over kill & solar is crazy expensive I'm thinking about fitting a small battery, (maybe a motorbike battery) and connecting that up to a switched 12v supply in the boot...

Hi I recently fitted a new steering wheel with the audio controls, the volume and skip buttons behave very strangely, they will either change the frequency or load a CD or change frequency, they don’t control the volume or skip as they should. Someone suggested something about the white mark in...

Has anyone fitted a K&N air filter, worth doing? I see they are approx. £60 so just wanted to see if it's worth it. ta

This is sitting in a friends field, he's a horder, is it worth even asking him if he'd sell this 1957 88? What Series is this? Is it worth restoring? Could be a good project, what is it worth like this and what could it be worth if restored? Last taxed in 1980, 2.2 diesel. There a bunch of bits...

Hi 2004 TD4 In an attempt to get my A/C working, I've had a new condenser fitted as it had a small leak, once it was working there was a noticeable load on the engine when the A/C was turned on (normal) and a slight belt squeak for the compressor which told me it was working. After a few weeks...

Approx. 16k miles ago I fitted 4 new Hankook Dynapro ATM tyres, I think they've got noisier over time and someone did say that with wear they can get noisier and my local garage ran his hands over the tread and said "yep, noisy tyres". My questions is, has anyone had this and swapped them with...

Just over a year ago I had new prop carrier bearings and diff bushes, they lasted about 10 months so I had another set of bearings fitted and a poly centre bush fitted to the diff by a garage. As soon as I drove away from the garage and hit 65mph I could feel a vibration from the rear of the...

Just removed from my '05 FL as selling it, complete with fitting instructions and dash switch, great condition and less than a year old. £160 plus £5 p&p. PM me if interested.

Due to stupid posts on my for sale thread, I have no choice but to remove this as they have completely ruined any chance of a sale now.
