I've been relying on this for years Ali!

Drove it about pondering if the recently aquired "hum" from the back end is the diff being noisy because a) I'm in mondo mode, or b) because the fluid is low and needs changing (this weekend's job) or c) it's knackered, or possibly even d) all three.

I bought a Pierberg one 12 months ago. It's been noisy since day one. I was not happy but couldn't be bothered to take it back. I might regret that.

I fart in you genrale direction you silly engleesh pigdogs

Well this is quite a thread. An OP melt down in 24 minutes, all on their own! :D

You could approach a boat cover maker. They'd be able to produce a well fitting cover for sure, but it might cost a bit.

Listed the current jobs to be done over the coming weeks/months.... Headlining and door card fabics OS ball joint/arm NS track rod end NSF inner CV joint and boot Rear subframe Refit prop and VCU Possible NSF window regulator Aircon regas Rear diff fluid *edit* not in any particular order

Scrapyard could be your best bet. You may get lucky. Mine is well worn and was picked up once as an advisory a few years ago, but not in the last few years. I managed to find a decent one in the scrap yard a few years ago but have refrained from fitting it to save it as long as possible.

That's a more unusual one for the forum, but well done!

It's all looking good. I tell you what, your disco looks lovely. I really like seeing stock D2s now as more and more of them are seriously modded (which is fine) but it's nice to see one looking so original and mint. Cracking Porsche too!

Did the sport have a different map on the ECU from factory?

I'd keep the FL1 and have a Defender if i could afford it.

That poprivet bloke was a bit scary, well, maybe weird rather than scary, but not seen him on here for years. Anyhow, let's hear about this resto then. The opening pic looks very promising.

As others have said, they are not comperable vehicles. You need to decide what you want first.

I absolutely would not be putting that stuff in any vehicle I own. HG failure is rare on the TD4 so I'd definitely be doing more investigation on where the leak might be first. Compression test first, and if that's okay, have a look at other possible components like the various coolers etc.

They look really good. More info needed!

Indeed. Following the proceedure as listed in this post is essential. Don't get rid of that box you have any time soon though Andy. I may still require it. Hopefully mine will last a bit longer, but it will definitely have aged a bit more.

The glass is bonded to the frame that rusts. New ones are now upwards of £400. You might get lucky with a good one from a scrapper though

With my beloved 2005 5dr TD4 now getting a bit long in the tooth I've realised that I want to keep it forever, but maybe just save it for the weekend and get it in top fettle without wearing it out as a daily driver. Now I've always fancied a three door and although I prefer the look of the...
