yeh 4x4 is born done it with a v8 rr chassis but its quite simple when you see how he done it ,have a look on youtube for a 4x4 is born

maybe you should read you post again what the hell would a sinking seat have to do with fuses ?post nonsense =receive nonsense

do you have the correct/modified timing belt kit ? do a search on the subject the 300tdi came out the factory with a fault causing the belt to slip off and rub the cover stripping it to half the size ,just a thought

the td5s are not prone to body rot its the rear chassis that tents to rot on these

this is easy to sort out ,STOP BUYING THEM UNLESS YOU SEE THEM ON A VEHICLE FIRST !

just phone them and tell them its leaking they will reset it get them to come to the house that way you can leave it for a bit before driving

give the relays and fuse box a good wiggle, the one next to your right foot wiggle as you try turning the key ,i was scratching my head for a while ,turned out loose connections

glass does not count as a claim on most insurance

it can overlap if thats what you mean, as long as its strong ,not sure i get what your saying are you talking about just laying it and welding from the top ,it wont be very pretty if you do that and will leave a space for water to sit i would do both sides but thats just me

hows the fluid levels

as said i wouldn't bother nobody else does i live here and see hundreds of british cars without it

got to laugh a bit at the french mot here, rust does not come in to it unless it has sharp edges that could hurt a pedestrian, should have see the state of mine and it passed both rear mounts collaspes both rear sill mounts totally nackered rear archs gone sills gone inner wings and light boxs...

no not really a new caliper wont be any more powerful than a correctly working existing item they both get the same pressure applied from the master cylinder ,just make sure the other is working and in good clean order, its just a sliding piston if its not working the same as the new one then...

will be fine as long as the other is working fine

water pump should be checked too

will be the gearbox output shaft and transfer input gear wear

not

better performace better fuel consumption happy engine

check turbo hose first

polys are hard and wear fast use oem ,go say hello before someone shouts at yah
