£580 on mine IIRC 2016 onward (D4) they added adblue which dropped it to around the £300 mark

costing too much in road tax for my reduced budget after a recent job change

looked at buying an FL2 again as an upgrade from my '07 D3 XS as getting near make mind up time.

thats al theypaid in the first place i mentioned that to them but bad experiences when crank sensor failed on their old Honda, they spent £000 chasing that & other faults round the car to the point it wouldn't start with easy start, so they decided to cut their losses with it and seems...

Update on this one, they had the car plugged into an auto diagnostic tool and it came up with 57 fault codes... cleared them all down and it brought back 17 other codes after a short drive after a short drive. one of the codes was crank sensor ( they had ££££'s of issues with a Honda with...

+ on this exactly the same symptoms happen on early hinckley triumph motorbikes and its always the crank sensor that throws a wobbly

on subject of brakes i can advise that a good combo i have found are EBC green stuff pads combined with Mtech drilled and grooved discs, better than any standard set up I've ever used

They're just a big jigsaw cars really, as long as you stacked the bolts/parts in order you'll be fine. Unless like me when on the spanners once dong a clutch on a ford focus, left it over night on the ramp with everything in order ready to go back in when the clutch arrived next morning only...

be happy motoring then one heads on!

AS long as the rings were positioned correctly you should not have an issue. Did you deglaze the bore? or at least run a metal scouring pad over the surface?

Good plan then, may be worth searching for smashed up 2.2 mondeos as a cheaper source of parts as they also use th dw12

Following this thread with interest Nodge. Are you going to have the head skimmed just to double check the surface before refitting the valves?

apparently they don't use manual mode just sport and auto so unable to comment but a weekend jaunt towing the oss box had it doing the juddering in sport also so they knocked it back into normal auto

symptoms are less in sport, will ask the question on manual and report back

just as good, bell did minea few years ago and as far as i know its still going strong just shy of £400 fitted by the owner of the company himself

Afternoon all, a work colleague has a '09 plate FL2 TD4 auto with 200k on the clock which they use for towing the daughters 'oss box shes asked me to have a look and wanted to run what I've found before giving her advice of further steps Symptoms are that it when put under load it will...

@Tactical Greensman In addition to what hIppo has said if you do get one that needs the strips replacing once cleaned smear some clear automotive grease on the arch to act as a barrier and if you don't end up buy strips without the metal in, buy genuine not britpart as they are ****e and a...

Rear arch rust i looked at 5 or 6 before settling on the fact i wanted a disco 3 ( it was an itch i had to scratch ) when you look at rear arches with doors closed there should be a rubber seal that runs down the front edge of the rear arch to protect it, these get old with time and fall off...

And we're back in the room... Long story short, furloughed, decided to hand my notice in at old job and have jumped ship to another insurer closer to home hence the lack of updates. to update in all seriousness we've had some issues... Electric handbrake stuck on on the disco so had to pull...

with being furlough'd there hasn't been much chance to get out and about in the disco, I have replaced the original battery with one with a 5 year guarantee, new tyres fitted to the rear and the best of the 4 put on the front along with front wheel alignment so at least it now longer trie to...
