That's what I was thinking as I posted. Yes, TD4.1.8 petrol. Aha, yours is a TD4 yes?? No O2 sensor to check, just MAF.

Where did you purchase the stainless screws from?It was yesterday, but I couldn't be bothered to mess about with a misbehaving forum.
I fitted a shiny new battery to my Tonga green project 1.8 XEi.

I then replaced the rusty rear light fixing screws with some nice new stainless screws. View attachment 198134 View attachment 198135 View attachment 198136

I'd like to say I did it, but the bumper actually arrived in that condition. All I needed to do was swap over the coloured corner bumper trims (the offside I'd already painted) and fit the whole assembly back on the car. There was no other damage on the rear end, except the bumper.Got to say @Nodge68 - thats a really nice job you did on the black section of the back bumper, mind posting a bit more info on how you achieved it
As spoken of earlier, my TD4 came minus VCU / propshaft so cannot do a test.Clocked up 170k today. VCU still good at under 30 sec (1.2.m, 5kg) and it has been with me since 80k. Thanks Bell!
Replaced the rear diff centre mount, on the floor with no ramps. Sore shoulders now!
Didn't fix the knocking problem though
The boy in me says YES, but the sane old man says quite simply WHY.
keeping the hippo up to scratch is enough really surely.
It drives very well in front wheel drive only.
LOL
As long as the insurance company are happy to insure it, and you don't need AWD for winter or off road, then you could probably live without it, on the slow and ponderous TD4. The powerful V6 and zippy 1.8 really do make the most of the extra traction afforded by the rear drive, however the TD4 wouldn't really notice the loss of traction on roads, under normal driving conditions, .As spoken of earlier, my TD4 came minus VCU / propshaft so cannot do a test.
It has left me pondering - do I or dont I really need it all.
I dont plan off roading
Fanks Nodge68, nowadys I dont really "go fast" but will just say I set my decent satnav to shout at me If i`m over 10% of posted speed limits, but its always nagging me while out.As long as the insurance company are happy to insure it, and you don't need AWD for winter or off road, then you could probably live without it, on the slow and ponderous TD4.
