hi
its me back again
with some more questions on my friends 2003 td4
1. he noticed that there is air flow out of the RHS on the air-filter assembly through a smal round hole , is this normal or indicative of a badly fitted air-filter
2. the previous owner had removed the original radio and just slotted in a single din replacement, which as you can imagine just slops around. ( see attached pic of dash )
i have googled for an adapter that will allow him to fit a single din unit but the alternative parts all appear to be for a double din config or am i reading them wrong.
3. he attempted to bypass the egr valve ( after cleaning it out in-situ using carb cleaner ) using the short method of splitting the pipe going into the valve and then plugging each side.
When he started the car the volume/density of exhaust fumes was unbelievably high so he reverted to the original straight-through setup, which after a short while appeared to
revert the exhaust level to normal.
Should that have happened or does it point to another problem.
4. he tried to remove one of the wheels but it has a locking nut but no unlocking socket ( apart for the one for the rear mounted spare wheel ) it appears to be factory installed and
he's wondering if the relevant key can be bought from a land-rover dealer?.
I really think that he has bought the lemon of the year and trying to assist him as best i can.
thanks in advance
