changed the nsr for the spare, found two screws in it, time for new tyres

Hi all, haven't posted on here for some time as I haven't had too many problems of late (kiss of death !) I have an 03 D2 TD5 and it's time to replace the steering box. i've found lots of recons out there but 90 odd % state up to 02, once you go to 03/04 there are very few and the price goes...

Hi all I'm looking to buy a second D2 TD5 It's going to be an all rounder, work chariot, occasional green lane. i've been looking at engines up to 150000 though i've seen one at 170000. question is, at that sort of mileage, am I better off getting an auto over a manual ? although the TD5 is...

Had a look at a few today, at least I tried, most of them had gone already, the rest were silly prices. wickford one wasn't there today. one bloke got a bit nervous, probably because I turned up in the family one which is quite tidy. the boot is roughly 8" bigger and I will remove the boot...

thanks guys, think I need to sell the two bikes and just buy the best I can find in my budget, manual or auto. I noticed both of yours are auto's so it puts my mind at rest that either are more than capable. Brian S, looked at your in for sale, nice, lots of things already done that...

Thanks beerdude, i'd agree, the auto I already have is a very civilised ride, shame I cant use that, but I did buy it for the wife (sort of):D would you say that manuals have more issues than auto's, they have a duel mass fly wheel don't they ? Brian S, I have looked at a few and i'm...

Hi all, i'd like to try my had at a bit of green laning :o I've not done any off road before and the D2 I've got is the family car so that's out. I fancied a TD5 90 station wagon but don't have the budget, so i'm looking at another D2 TD5. it will be my daily drive to work and I need...

have had both leak on my td5, by the look of the picture I would check the front cam shaft oil seal (black plastic cover) if you can move it with your fingers, it's shot. you'll be surprised how much mess they can make, good thing if it is this, it's a cheep quick fix.

Hi all don't want to highjack patmac's thread but i'm in a similar dilemma. I wanted a 90 td5 station wagon, but they are out of my budget so i'm looking at another td5 D2 to go with the one I've got. I want to do some green laning so it will get a few mods, it will also be my daily work drive...

I've been looking for some time now, I still can't see the snorkel !

took it for a spin, just like I have every day since Tuesday four weeks off the road has been a mare !

Jason2, it was rattling and had lots of soot in it L90 BCM, thank you, I did think of doing that myself i'm a welder by trade. however, before I had a chance to do either I had an overnight visit from the metal fairies in there mystical magic transit van and low and behold my driveway...

at last, it's alive ! goes better, sounds better and hopefully i'll get a fair bit more than the 20mpg I was getting :D taking it to work today, monitor the fluid levels and use the nanocom for some live data on running temps. thanks for the help all, next job, two leaking sun...

I hate waiting :( i'm one tailpipe away ! put absolutely everything back together yesterday, but it's to loud without the tailpipe.

Welcome from another Essex member

de cat on the way, hope its here by the weekend. went for the straight through middle pipe to, in for a penny ! started putting it back together today, still got the rear interior out from doing the fuel pipes. got the horns and grill back on after the intercooler clean. starting to...

HA HA HA HA HA HA ! Yes my laugh is that bloody loud :D split the pipe at the turbo, revved freely to 4 - 5000 rpm put the nanocom on, MAF 60 at tick over 200 at 2000rpm, don't expect the figures to be spot on as there's no exhaust. I am currently drinking cider with the biggest grin...

OK, Want a bit of feed back before I go and do something really noisy and scare the s**t out of the neighbours. according to my MAF data, air is not getting in. could it be more of a case the exhaust gas isn't getting out ? I believe it has a particulate filter in the exhaust not a cat. just...

thanks, will try this. it has to be either electrical or fuel related surely ? it's the MAF AAP and MAP readings that are so confusing which leads to electrical. as said before, it was loosing power slowly and not by much, enough to make you think air filter or MAF. the only thing changed...

intercooler cleaned with white spirit, back flushed with garden hose for 3hrs then left to dry on kitchen rad for 24hrs :(
