    2001 DII TD5 Hi all - got a few "electrical" issues and wonder if problem is more likely to be fuse box or BCU related Thing got drenched in torrential rain last week, and has always leaked via head lining/offside front pillar, so could well have had some moisture down to the fusebox area...

    oh come on - not turning off !

    well - here's a novel approach to faults, quite opposite to the usual problems ! had a few electrical issues this week - battery died (just packed up due to old age, supposedly nothing sinister) - but when back up and running courtesy of RAC jump start, there were a few odd things going on...

    high-flow air filters

    hi everyone ! are these things worth the extra money ? K & N branded on e-bay and the like for thirty quid plus, getting on for ten times as much as other things that'll no doubt do the job - is the contribution to enhanced performance worth forking out for ? thanks....

    wrap-around bull bars - legal niceties ?

    assuming that i actually get around to buying these things, what are the legal ramifications ? i've dug up all sorts on various posts from them being entirely illegal, to being fine if second hand and fitted on an older vehicle, to stuffing up your insurance by ludicrous amounts to being...

    fuel fun and games

    ....posted on here a month or so ago about a rough-running S2 TD5 that seemed to be down to fuel pump problems, well, it was - but with some extras the problem became apparent almost immediately after filling up, and when the RAC came out to have a look, after a quick sniff and a turn of the...

    pair of new tyres - front or back ?

    due to ongoing poverty brought on by a recent house purchase (well, not so much the house as the "must have" new curtains/taps/kitchen and other woman-related tat...) - i propose to do the unthinkable and get just a pair of new tyres, bearing in mind that the current state of play is that one is...

    leaky b-post

    Hi everyone - after a triumphant summer of leak repairs (silicon sealer having put an end to the deluge through the rear light fittings, front light fittings, map compartments, rear air-con outlets etc etc), i have just one water source left to deal with - out of the (top) seatbelt hole on the...

    not quite so gay safari 5000 enquiry

    in a fit of yet more inexcusable expenditure, i have acquired a pair of the above (off e-bay, for thirty quid :D !!!!), and consequently have a witless query or two: can they be wired up so the dipped/main beam operates alongside my existing headlights (ie working off the same switch off the...

    wax oil ?

    one of the few comments resulting from todays service - and not an unreasonable one having spent several months parked at the coast with the salty air an' all - was that it would be a good idea if i gave my undercarriage a spray with "wax oil" to nip any nascant rust spots in the bud anyone...
