STOP LOOKING, would you believe its the steering damper!!!! :rolleyes: Cheers Ian

The 19 tyres fit straight on the D3 alloy rims, clearance is tight but clear they do. Done a few k on them now, taller sidewalls means no need to avoid potholes.

Try and find the instructions for the 300 belt mods, as Iirc there was some things you had to do when fitting the inj pump.

Was there a gasket between inj pump and timing case? Something must be out of line for the belt to run out.

No idea until its off, but before removing I would be checking with a straight edge that all the pulleys are paralell to each other.

As said above P gasket

Is that the P gasket area? Only a guess as I don't have a 300tdi.

In Ireland most remove the dpf from their cars, not totally legal but given the amount of problems they cause a lot of people take the risk.

Faulty tensioner there.

I think they put a lot of work these days into tolerances, particularly minimal tolerances.

Yep 5 yr guarantee, think last one did 3 years then halfords swapped it no quibble for the current one, which again has been on there approx 3 years. I always write on the battery when fitted and keep the receipts, also done this at work for...

Whilst wet belts in my view are a crap idea, I reckon as most are commercial vehicles they will not get any tlc between services, no one will check the levels, and if they do they will get topped it will be with whatever oil is to hand, the...

The velar is it's own model with pop out door handles, you can see that fail coming in a few years..... "hello is that the rac , I can't get into my car" 😜

Battery replacement time again, noticed special programmes off on the dash when first starting after standing for a day or two, this must be 4th or 5th one is just over 10 years? Not batteries fault, just how I use the car or not use it! Anyway...

Cap it at the T piece from the vacuum accumulator before it gets to the EGR solenoid. If you cap it after the EGR solenoid it makes a noise like a duck when you switch off !! Cute, but annoying.😄

In an ongoing effort to lighten the pedal in my Series 2 I fitted a bearing to replace the bronze bush in the linkage. I have also converted the hydraulic line to 1/4" courtesy of an adaptor from a Series 3 clutch master cylinder. These two...

I would cap it off because if it gets it vac from the vac pump circuit it night cause brake issues.

Euro 6 onwards, so basiclaly 2015 ish onwards, but anything with a dpf would steer me clear, though my main experience is with hgvs. Even the farmers are trying to avoid the new gear as it is so much bother, I dont think is is the cost though...

You would think, wouldnt you. But JLR are still using it all these years later. I guess they have worked out that it will probably get out of the warranty period, then its not thier problem 🤔. We added a bit to our budget when we brought our...

J Just google ingenium engine issues, then go and buy another make, though I have to say most modern vehicles are just plain crap!

Crank issues would stop most people from buying one in the first place.

Specsavers mate😂
