Just a decent flat head screwdriver would suffice. The tab isn't that strong.

As pwood said, had to do this with my rear wheels as handbrake wouldn't hold the wheels tight enough (no prop shaft on mine). Wheel on ground fully no jacks or stands!

Was going to say the same thing!

Looks a bit like my list 😀

Yeah forgot to say, power feels better especially up hills, it was really struggling before.

So had a drive with the MAF unplugged and there's is about 90% less smoke, just a puff of black smoke under heavy load. So guessing the MAF is kaput!

2 of them weren't firing properly so took all of them apart and gave them a refurb. Don't know what you mean about adaptations.

Checked hoses and all seem to be fine, no splits or holes. Disconnected the MAF and still seem to be a lot of smoke. Gonna leave it off today while I go out and see if it clears up any. Here's the after-MAF (sorry had too 😁) Also see pic for the "soot" left on the ground!

Yeah replace them when installing and made double sure everything was in perfect before putting everything back together. But just to make sure I'll have a look tomorrow to make double double sure 😃

Mines blanked off. I'm gonna look at the hoses and try unplugging the MAF as well. I wonder if I've knocked a hose or clip when doing the work?

This is it, just temporary, but works really well!

The Impedance is 8 ohms as far as I know it should be 4 ohms. I used an old subwoofer from an old stereo that was 4 ohms. I'll post a pic shortly.

Forgot that could affect it. Will give it a go later and see what happens.

Hi everyone I know there are a few posts on this but just need to ask anyway. Have lots of black smoke coming out of the TD4 (2005 facelift model), now I know it's usually the turbo that causes this but it wasn't doing this before I refurbed the injectors and replaced the the glow plugs. Was...

Anyone know where I can get the outer part of the fuel cap? It was loose and I've been meaning to glue it for ages but out of sight etc.... Don't want to spend 50 quid on eBay for the whole thing!

That's great, well done! At least it wasn't sized like mine.

Sorry, even though I've had a few landies I'd still call myself a novice with the mechanics. Don't know the spec of the bolts. I'll change the name of this thread and see if anybody else can help.

Just before you go down a route of replacing parts. Just try and give the battery a charge. Mine was sitting for a while and wouldn't start and sounded like yours, checked the battery and it was showing over 3/4 charge so didn't think it was that but decided to give it a charge anyway and fired...

I haven't got around to doing mine yet, working through the other problems with the car 😀 but (and I think other will agree) always go with new/original parts or good second hand ones. Never use off brand or random bolts especially for the drive train!

No, definitely leave it as is 😀
