Linseed about every six months.

Hi George I've run on 50/50 veg from time to time with no problems, Just to contradict Cashy I've read that the 'L' series seals are OK with Veg. I hear the problems start when you run on bad Bio which has still got methanol/ethanol in it. At the moment though it not worht the hassle of...

WTF is the point of that?

Cheers steve Does that mean I can say **** but not ****. I sense I'm about to find out as I push the button.

Ok how does Sirus manage to say F*** when I cant say T**T

Looks like my 300tdi has a leak from the throttle linkage on top of the injector pump. I fixed a leak like this on my old td but at the time I had access to lots of seals curtesy of the place I worked at so didn't need to find out the size required. Assuming this one is leaking form the same...

New exhaust rubbers are dirt cheap and they will allow some movement, which stops the exhaust from flexing on the welds and breaking prematurely.

How come you can say F**cked and I can't say t**ted. The battery is for the rabbit, is'nt it? The fan has since ceased to be a problem as I added some coolant to the system , which was low. Taking it to see if the fool, sorry, dealer will give me £2K against a 300tdi Disco this...

A cracked chassis , if it is one is easy. just make up a rubber washer and put iut between the rear sub and the chassis do it for all four and you don't even have to check which one it is. Mine was the front one drivers side. Before you do this though , make sure the bolts are done up tight ...

On the battery?

When out to Wales for a walk last night got back in the Hippo and it started OK, as it does when its warm. Drove 25 miles home parked up put a tape in for Waking the Dead, went back out started it and drove a mile to the offy. Came out of the Offy and it wouldn't start, not just turning over...

I think the ball joint is available on its own as a standard part. I can rememeber doing the same thing with a rover 214 and a montego. Maybee the garage saw you coming. Sorry for the delay in replying but the Yahoo mail has started putting all Landizone stuff in the trash box?

Sorry guys Yahoo started to dump the Landizone e-mails in my trash bin, only just looked , thirty quid I suppose as there is no instructions if anyone is still interested and can pick it up.

I've got one that you can have if you want. Don't know what they sell for now and i don't think I've got the instructions. But someone on here will be able to give you them I'm sure. I bought it to solve a problem i didn't have (It was the tyres in the end) and it worked really well but I...

Replacing the bottom suspension arm plus bolt is a bit exteme you can drill the ball joint out and bolt another in. Least you can on my 'L' series.

Ming Are you makin' bio diesel or just cleanin' up veg oil and thinin' it with white spirits? Don't you need to add caustic and methanol to get it to go to bio ie from triglyceride to methyl ester. Or is white spirts caustic dissolved in methanol?

If you read some of the posts on this article you can see that there are lots of different views , all of them with some validity, and , also, people on other forums are just as abusive as us but with a lot less humour.

Just reporting in. Had the Colways on the Hippo for 15K now and they still look good for alot more yet.

This test seems to be invented to convince you to get the VCU changed I don't belive it, mine has been doing it for 40K miles and it's got no worse.

2000 2.0 Xdi Cracked Chassis (Fixed with a couple of strips of inertube, well its still cracked but you can't hear it) Misfire Chaffed 'start of injection' sensor wire. Fixed with insulation tape. Pig to start can only easily fit two glow plugs but that fixed it. Front suspension bushes...
