..from the engine - TD4. Happens in the morning when cold and is gone when warm. it is random and does not change with engine speed or load it would appear. I am guessing a pressure relief valve in the power steering pump? anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance Stewart

So turns out it was injector seals causing fumes noise and mess..

LOL poor apple. i got this one for the wife she said it charged her Pie phone x in about 25 minutes..

i blame apple, the FL2 is not an authorised accessory. it must be fused, check that, phones are that smart these days it may not charge if the supply is not right, current or voltage could be to too low or high and the phone switch off the charging circuit?

Thanks for that. Just thinking I'll strip a good'n and have a look Could be a day or 2 but I'll get back with what I find. Cheers.

Hmm.. that made sense to me when I wrote it but yeah clear as mud reding it back lol. Ok so the lower Hinge (not pin ?!?!) bolt secures the two halves of the hinge by going through the top half on the door to the bottom half on the body. the bolt appears to be making contact with the top half...

I did a search but couldn't get what i was after on this one. In the lower pin the bolt moves with the door - therefore tightens as it goes. I am guessing there should be an inner sleeve to tighten against and this has seized? It does look a bit orange, but I am scared to strip it.

interesting - there is film on ours and i also assumed it was factory.. shame on me. do landrovers have an options sticker / decoder anywhere that i could check what is /isnt fitted? sorry for slight hijack thanks.

so i am sue i have a cracked manifold or something of the sort. cabin fumes are too much - battery box checked boot on steering column sorted, and i suspect an inlet leak and a possible issue around the crankcase breather. i have hammered the keyboard way too much and am starting to go round in...

it looks like i have a leak here but have read that this is not serviceable on the F2 - is this right? if so do i need a complete new cam cover? picture was taken a while back not knowing anything about PCVs - been hammer the keyboard to get to this point, hopefully i will get a dig around this...

I used Astonish oven cleaner to get the worst off finished with t cut but was a yearly thing for mot on a 99 passat

Under load? Ie using engine as a brake?

Might have something to do with the four amigos I have no clue what you are talking about, could hazard a guess but wouldn't want to give a bum steer or look stupid.

Thought i would update, i found wet carpets (in below rubber mats the good wife likes) which re-affirmed my theory of blocked aircon drain so i set about pulling trim and carpet. All looked ok but i blew the compressor out and up to be sure then when i checked below there was evidence of a...

Wet on the flat where your feet go and damp on tunnel sides... I will keep an eye and update. Btw I have removed the rubber mats the wife liked.....hiding and holding wet, for how long I don't know.

hmm not sure pulled the carpet last night all looked ok, blew the compressor through it and all seemed clear, i then checked the ground which had what looked to be a nearly dry large puddle. oh and the carpets are now mildly damp rather than wet.. so what i am thinking - there was a block and...

Mr muscle oven cleaner is the choice of VAG boys to clean turbo vains and manifolds...

.. think this could be adding to my freezer fog air vents so I need to find where it is coming from. Is on both sides so a bit stumped. Any ideas? Only noticed it when out with the vacuum. Didn't think it was wet as such until I seen half a cup of water in the vacuum.... no it's not a wet one lol..

And unless they cleaned the rim a small pot hole could have broke the seal quick thump with lump hammer ( on the tyre) should sort it.

Ahh ok my td4 is a bit manky round the pcv. Any ideas?
