Just under 2 years ago, I gave up my very reliable FL1 TD4, which I had for 8 years, due to domestic issues and eyesight problems. I might be in a position in the summer or autumn, to start driving again, should the treatment be successful. I am thinking of possibly getting a FL2 if I am able...

Due to a change in circumstances, I can no longer justify keeping my FL1. I will sadly be dropping to my other car, a Clio. :( It's in not bad nick, with only a lot of scuffs on the passenger rear corner (done by idiots who can't judge how close they are to another vehicle when pulling in...

I have had to replace the window regulator on the drivers side rear door. I am trying to source some new white plastic fixings that hold the card onto the door but I can't recall what they are called. Could some kind soul tell me please?

Yesterday, I parked up at my local supermarket and began to close all the windows and the rear drivers side didn't move up. No crunching noise, no nothing, just silence. I am assuming the regulator has died as I have taken to door card off disconnected everything and wedged the glass in the...

Normally, my mot is due in August, but the government extended all mot's for 6 months due to the virus. I just checked my date online and it still says the normal due date, so I am confused as I thought I had until February because of the extensions. Have I missed something, do I need to...

I took a chance this year and decided to leave the egr blank in place on my TD4 2006. I had an awful feeling that it would fail on something. Just a feeling, no evidence of anything except the blank. To my surprise, it passed with just two advisories. Sadly, it is looking like I may be saying...

My TD4 2006 seems to have reverted to how it was when I first purchased it before I blanked the egr, fitted a ronbox with pierburg maf. It has started lagging when I put my foot on the pedal to move off from stationary or nearly stationary. Once it gets past that lag all is fine. There is no...

As it was a bit cooler today, I thought I would replace the track rod ends on my 06 FL1 TD4. Simple job, I thought. Won't take long. I am still working on drivers side. Took me ages to get the nuts off. I am guessing that they are the original ones from the factory judging by the look of them...

Drove to work this morning and there was a rumbling sound on occasions. I checked underneath and found that the rear exhaust box has lost its rubbers and is swinging side to side. I don't have any way to do a temporary holding job so do I risk driving 20 miles back home after work or does this...

My 06 TD4 has developed a rattly drivers side front window. I can sometimes stop it by pushing the glass one way or another, at least for a while. Would I be right in thinking the bolt that holds the glass to the lifting mechanism is likely to have come loose or can there be another reason?

I have changed track rod ends many times on other cars and need to replace the ones on my 06 FL1 due to slight play on an advisory during the last mot. I assume there is nothing I should be aware of regarding replacing them on a FL?

When working on a car and a part is stated as being sided, which is right and which is left side of the car? Looking from front or from rear? I have to change my track rod ends and I am sure it will be obvious, but they are marked left and right.

I understand that some FL's havea lever that adjusts the headlight beams for driving on the continent. If this is correct, where exacltly is this lever and was it only for certain models?

Does my 2006 TD 4 have isofix fittings for a child car seat? Or is this a more modern concept and younger than my FL? I can't say that I have noticed anything that could be it but not really taken much notice until now. I need to get a safety seat for my 1 year old grandson. :D

I am in the process of replacing my passenger side rear door window regulator. I have just partially fitted the new regulator and need to insert and tighten the bolt at the to where the glass sits. I cannot see much, is there a hole through the glass for the bolt to go through? I can't see one...

I need to replace my track rod ends on my TD4 2006, but not until this awful hot weather ends. What are the best makes to get? I don't want to put something on which won't last too long.

I have my MOT soon on my 06 TD4. Whilst I was servicing it today, I have noticed that the battery clamp is loose. Despite much swearing and threats to kick the car I cannot tighten, loosen or remove the bolt. I can just about get my fingers to underneath the battery tray and it feels like it is...

I was wondering how much a heated windscreen would cost me fitted (I assume the electrics are already there)? TD4 2006.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a replacement spindle? Mine vanished after my local garage did some work on my FL. Obviously, I cannot prove they lost it but I know they did. I have emailed diesel tuning or whatever they are called but after 3 weeks, I still have no reply. :(

Just been out in my 06 TD4 and I have a noise which speeds up and down depending on speed of car. More noticeable at slower speed. A sort of Jud jud jud jud and so on sound. I am very hard of hearing but can hear it. To my bad ears it sounds like a wheel bearing. Family say it is coming from...
