So your first post is a rather pointless rant, your second shows us that you are too dumb to be able to use a very user-friendly forum, your third is to tell us you don't need it and to say goodbye, and your 4th is another rant cos no one...

Scrapyard could be your best bet. You may get lucky. Mine is well worn and was picked up once as an advisory a few years ago, but not in the last few years. I managed to find a decent one in the scrap yard a few years ago but have refrained from...
Finally dealt with the horrific wheel bearing whine yesterday. After 165,000mi it was a tad unhealthy!
Took advantage of the hydraulic press and bearing puller at Uni which made the job miles easier. Just had to use some cut up stock to space...
And for those interested, got it all working and wired in. Very happy having my lightbar working again and does so without tacky random switches drilled into the dash.
Just need to put the roof tent and rock sliders back on and source a...
Just started wiring stuff in, can confirm that these lights are tapped into main beam. Great as I ran identical wiring to another switch and will finish running up to the roof lights tomorrow.
Looking tidy so far though..
If the piston is that tight then it is corroded and will not improve. Sometimes you can put a block of wood in the caliper and press the brake to expose the piston without popping it out !! Then pull back the rubber gaiter and check / clean the...
Well yes, but I was convinced I would be taking console out and stripping the thing and had little confidence that a £5 cleaning disc would work. But it did! Saved a couple of hours. It was a facelift multi cd in the dash.
Took the Sport 18 inch alloys for blasting and refinishing. They weren't bad at first glance but the insides were corroded. Will report back on finish. Looks to be a good place.
It's all looking good. I tell you what, your disco looks lovely. I really like seeing stock D2s now as more and more of them are seriously modded (which is fine) but it's nice to see one looking so original and mint. Cracking Porsche too!
That poprivet bloke was a bit scary, well, maybe weird rather than scary, but not seen him on here for years. Anyhow, let's hear about this resto then. The opening pic looks very promising.
I absolutely would not be putting that stuff in any vehicle I own. HG failure is rare on the TD4 so I'd definitely be doing more investigation on where the leak might be first. Compression test first, and if that's okay, have a look at other...
Indeed. Following the proceedure as listed in this post is essential.
Don't get rid of that box you have any time soon though Andy. I may still require it. Hopefully mine will last a bit longer, but it will definitely have aged a bit more.
With my beloved 2005 5dr TD4 now getting a bit long in the tooth I've realised that I want to keep it forever, but maybe just save it for the weekend and get it in top fettle without wearing it out as a daily driver. Now I've always fancied a...
