Thanks for all of your feedback! I have not seen the car yet only the photos on the internet. Based on it the chassis looks very nice. I will have a look during the weekend.

Hi All There is a MY91 Classic 2.5 td (VM engine?) for sale here in Hungary and I am really interested in to buy. It is from Spain, so probably the rust is no issue (according to photos the frame is very nice). No modification on it but repainted. Is the 2.5 td VM engine reliable one? What...

what is your riding height on the back now? Has it ever been adjusted by using Nanocom or similar? Can you lift it up to off road mode?

I have these: REB000330 OEM DA1008 Bilstein B6 my car is a 2003MY td5, LHD, manual, with ACE and Air con.

Mine is around 500mm at the front (new springs and dampers) and set to about 480mm at the rear (air springs). Have you also checked the bump stop height (top of bump stop to axle bracket) which should be about 45mm at front and about 60mm at the rear.

I have just changed the crank front seal. Some people says that flat bladed screwdriver works, for me did not (I have a discovery 2 and the radiator was in place so very limited room to work) What I have mode is modified a small cheap bearing puller (had to make it a bit narrower where it goes...

In my case also the right side was a bit down (about 15-20mm) wich was solve by changing springs and shocks. I had 2" lift and decided to remove it so I bought new shocks and standard springs. The first choice (KYB and Monroe) resulted the above issue (car was on min level and right side even...

So Mapco pulley has arrived and installed. Car runs smooth, no vibration up to about 5000rpm. Start and stop is without squeal.

Mine was also lifted with about 2" so that might explain why my bush looks a bit strange (I removed the lift about a year ago).

Why did you remove if it run fine? This is what i was thinking about and decided finally not to remove it (yet). The other thing why i did not want to risk is that the outer diameter of the old one is about 1.5mm bigger. Regarding on copper insert, it is a better construction, right (and much...

Today i showed it to a friend who is an experienced car mechanic and his opinion was to put it back and not change it with the one which has only rubber inside. So i have changed only the rubber coupling and put the shaft back. It runs smooth, could not detect any issue so far.

in the meanwhile I have found something on the net. Mine is probably tvd000020 which has this copper insert. But the outer ring still looks strange (it is not even parallel with prop shaft).

Hi All I have already asked this question in my other post, but maybe my description/question was not clear enough. Today I want to put back the rear prop (as I have finished all other jobs) but I do not know what to do with the spigot bush (see photo). What I have in my prop looks so different...

Sorry maybe I was not clear. I had oil leak at the rear diff pinion seal so I decided to change. For this I have ordered flange kit and already changed seal and put a new flange on. The original centralising ping looked good and I put it back. As I had to remove rear prop I also decided to renew...

I had similar issue in the past with my previous td5 which was also automatic. When I stopped my car and switched off the engine (even for a short time) when I restarted and started to move it took her about 10 sec (every time exactly this time) to recover and to run fine. For me the change of...

Yes, this is what I got, but I have different in the prop. See photo.

I think I will leave it as it is. It looks something completely different what I have in the prop. The one I got in the GKN set has rubber inside, mine has a metal (maybe copper) sleeve and rubber is between this and the outside wall of the spigot. The outside diameter is also different (mine is...

It is a GKN kit. The old one is also.

I wanted to change the crank seal only and when i deeply check the pulley found the bearing not moving at all. I know that the pulley should not rotata, but when i removed the dust cup of the ball bearing i could not even move the balls itself. So i have decided better to replace ( also...

As i had to remove the rear prop for diff seal change i have ordered rubber coupling set for the prop as well. The set also includes a bush which seems a bit different. Should i try to change it as well or just leave it and change only the rubber coupling? I have tried to attach photo but it...
