From factory they usually have like a non audible dump valve which recircs the air so you can replace that with an audible one if you want. Might need to do a bit of research to get the right one

In my experience nothing is definate until the part or repair has been done, there is a known problem of prop shaft centre bearings, rear wheel bearing and transfer box all giving noise and/or excessive rear tyre wear. Dont go buying new tyres just yet, do some checks first. Riggaz

If you take the air mass meter out then it should run dreadfully as the ecu cant decide how much fuel to put into the cylinder Riggaz

That is pretty typical of breakdown companies, the trouble is they're not the ones that fix it so they can say anything without the responsibilty of giving the correct diagnosis. I had a rac chap come out to me with a bigger ego than van and he reeled off about ten different things that could be...

Has this been confirmed with diag computer? Riggaz

Wheel bearings do wear pal and so do cv joints in driveshafts but cv joints click or knock when they're worn whereas bearings make a similar noise to what you have, jack it up and spin the wheels and check them for play Riggaz

droning noise does sound like wheel bearings, you need to jack it up and spin the wheels up and hopefully you'll be able to hear the noise. Diff's tend to whine rather than drone. Riggaz

Sounds bloody typical of a rover designed engine doesn't it charlesy, not fit for purpose! Dont fancy doing heavy towing with anything fitted with a dual mass flywheel, 300tdi for me then. On the 300tdi do you know if the timing belt repair kit works well? Riggaz

That's weird isn't it, i have send zeus a couple of emails but no one has replied and i'm a potential customer. They advertise a 12 / 12 warranty so your mate was in the right and should have been covered. I'm going to ring em i think and find out a bit more about them, their web site tells you...

Dont spend anymore money on it bud, you wont see the benefit. Use a good fuel treatment to keep your injectors in good shape, try the Morris Lubricant Morrendo DD one leisure marine this will lube them and keep them clean and do the same for the hole fuel and combustion system. The more you...

Hmmm sounds like they took advantage of you there pal. The master cylinder is the main cause of the pedal dropping to the floor or did you ask them to replace the clutch as well. They must have done the slave on the recommendation of the rac man ( first mistake ) and realised it was the master...

It's a rover design engine bud, they had nearly finished designing it when BMW bought them out. What about the dual mass flywheel any dramas? Riggaz

More like a master cylinder chap

Just replace it bud, they're cheap and easy to fit although it's important not to over torque as this can damage the gasket, let me know what engine you have and i'll tell you the corrct settings. Riggaz

Is the TD5 engine any good?

Make sure you use a fierce fluch and get all that crap outta there before fitting the new rad

Phone LR dealer and speak to parts department to see if you can get the voltage regulator separatly, they will need your chassis number to do a chassis filter on their epc ( electronic parts catalogue ) to get the right one. At this time you can ask them what ampage the alternator is as it will...

If your after better performance try upgrading your intercooler, turbo or get the ecu chipped to increase the diesel going in. Engines are so leaned off these days to meet mpg and emissions targets that increasing the amount of diesel going in dramaticly improves performance. Riggaz

I thought the zeus kit was all gears, or is part of it chain driven? Riggaz
