Had yours gone at back of the arch/ quarter where it meets bumper? Looking at mine everything looks original paint wise apart from rear bumper what’s been diy sprayed, looks fine in rain but not as shiny as rest of car when dry, cheap lacquer etc, this I’ll get painted when I’m ready for arches...

When I was looking every one I viewed were getting flakey around arches, my td6 was always ok but had been previously repaired. One I looked at seller said just there, “why you looking under it, good solid car boss, first to see will by” my reply was “not that solid pal, sills and arch corner...

Look like it, have it a good poke and hammering and nothing fell off, looks like it’s just the thin steel on sill that’s gone at the moment, will know more when I get round to cutting it out, and can see inside, weakest point at the moment is the very corner of the arch and sill.

weather allowed me to finally get the side steps off, drivers side was easy passenger side needed cutting off. Took sill covers off to check rust condition, about 4 inches from rear is flakey and goes through when really hit with pointed chipping hammer, need to cut that and weld new in, luckily...

Will try again tomorrow, will program the second key then right after the locks cycle I’ll do the original key and see what happens.

Maby but with me older td6, I had one working key and another that didn’t, so programmed the non working key and it worked fine and the car didn’t forget the original key so I then had two keys. This seems like it’s doing either one or the other.

Hi everyone just been trying to program another key for my 06 L322, previous owner said he struggled and didn’t manage anyway iv tried the new key in ignition pull out press lock and unlock 3 times and locks cycle as they should, however it them seems to “forget” the working key that I...

Shouldn’t be too bad to do, iv just done a full engine service on my 4.2sc yours will be similar, no manual needed, just look in manual for oil capacity, mines 7.7l, filter is tucked up behind radiator/ front of engine, take both plastic under trays off for access, if it’s like mine it looks...

Gave my 4.2sc it’s first oil change, hardest bit was getting the corroded 10mm screws out holding the front part of the plastic under tray off to access filter, bit of a silly place for the filter compared to the TD6 which was right on top, used to take 20 mins change the oil on that one.

Gave my 4.2sc a good hammering underneath and Waxoyl, managed to Waxoyl myself and the driveway aswell… messy stuff. Also it’s now developed a scraping noise, sounds like something catching brake dust shield, can’t here it at speed or with windows up so not fussed, will sort it when I refresh...

Which engine?

Mines ulez being petrol but being 2006, nearly £700 a year tax! Keep telling myself it’s only twice the price as my td6 and a lot less than other country’s charge.

Selling my 2004 TD6, Drives great apart from needs wheel alignment, only place local to me don’t like doing range rovers and can’t do it for couple of months, Selling as iv just bought a 4.2Sc, Well looked after with lots changed in last 12 months, no pets, no smokers, kept clean and tidy and...

Just given my steering wheel the same treatment as my td6 a few weeks back, good sand and clean and degrease then paint.

Took the chance with a day and half free to polish mine, still needs a more aggressive polish but loads better than when I bought it, will worry about another polish once arches are fixed.

Always a good feeling when that happens. When my td6 passed in March with no advisory’s at 18 years old it shows it’s worth looking after them.

Same here, every 7-8000 normally, took the advise from a taxi driver who said full service every 12 months but oil service every 7-8000, he clocked up silly miles with no issues.

I do two to three times that milage but companies I do for pay the fuel and it’s full cost not say 15p per mile etc, once job is done I say how much it’s cost so not fussed over fuel, however I’d been put off the 3.6 by the worrying about of ones for sale for spares or repairs with words like...

Must be a woman thing, I do think they look better in person than on pictures. Sometimes though we can’t have exactly what we want within a limited budget, I looked at a few some tarted up some obviously rotten etc, this one came up and got good vibes off the seller, could see he was honest, had...

Doesn’t seem to be many all black around, every one I looked at had the two tone, my other half isn’t to keen on the two tone, told her you don’t see the seat when sat in it 😂. Whichever interior you get there super comfy and just a nice place to be. Jumped back in the td6 to move it earlier...
