Could be the steering angle sensor needing calibration, if its out of whack it can apply the abs mid corner

2 front bearings on th D3 £303 2 new pirelli zero's £270 still needs tracking up but current situation has knocked that on the head

I had ame issue years ago on a mondeo, wheel had to be stripped and repainted as the paint had flaked and the alloy was porous and kept letting the tyre down cost me about £75 at the time

might be wroth googling a mega flush various members on the d3 forum provide the service

And we're back newest little issue is droning from the near side front which sounds like the wheel bearing this is in addition to a lot of brake pad squeal from the of side front on right hand bends which having given that side a good clean from brake dust and given its a new caliper this is...

drove to work and back again 29,2 mph this time so its getting better

Drove to work 28.9 mpg according to the computer, not bad for an auto

Will check the alt when I get 5 mins thank you for that. £1021 later we now have a new cambelt, oil pump and 105k service and a new caliper on the nsf as the old one was seized solid!! They even washed it for me which was nice brakes slightly spongy but that may be due to the pads...

New issue time, appear we may have a sticky caliper on the nsf, fine up to 60 then shakes your fillings out but doesn't do it all the time so that rules out tyre balance plus that wheels getting quite warm so will **** it with a big hammer at lunch and see how it fares better on the way home...

first little issues have reared their head with the new acquisition firstly "special functions not available" appeaked on the screen this morning when starting it,only for a split second before disappearing and it was a bit lazy turning over so suspect its down to low battery charge as the...

105,000 mile service booked in at Infield 4x4 next week including cambelt x2 oil pump and all filters and oils in diffs, boxes etc quote comes in at £901 Not bad deal really considering cambelt x2 and pool pump is £816 for the lot so I'm getting a full service for it £85

Yes I did think that as its ben seat for a week not being used while i sorted a few things out

First proper run to work this morning in the disco over 45 miles, uneventful really averaging 25.7 on first go and thats with using command shift to force it into 6th instead of 5th on the flatter bits , will see what the return journey shows up things I've noted 1) the driver's seat would be...

get cambelts done and new thermotwat housing and you'll be grand

started her last night just to keep the battery topped up and had her running for 5 mins, transmission fault and specials settings not available flashed up so its obvious the batter is slightly lower than it wants to be, but went out after 20 seconds or so it was recovered into its former...

Thanks mate, much appreciated on the offer wouldn't be a landy if it wasn't!
