nice one!

Looking very good Press - keep posting back here :)

Mm... Shiny!

Ha! Yep, even genuine and brand new can be faulty... @jamesmartin - as an aside, could you tell me where FTC124 fits in to the ABS swivel housing? I'll rebuild the swivel pins while I'm in there and just ordering some bits but can't remember or find out on the net where this thrust washer...

Ashcrofts! Far canal, it would be cheaper to buy a spare disco!!!!

Don't do waxoyl - use Dynax UB (floors) and S50 (cavities) instead and you won't need to do it again next year when the waxoyl has given the rust a good head start for you... :(

Yeah I know :) It's just that generally you don't often hear the same abuse that britpart gets, thrown at BM/Allmakes etc. Being at the wrong end of the month I might well have to go the very budget route anyway now and see how long they last. AS confirmation though, does everyone agree from my...

Thanks James, very sensible approach... SpringDon, probably will go with the BM part as they often approve them. We must be neighbours if you're also near taunton! Must have passed on the roads around town at some point? I'm up near Corfe, whereabouts are you?

what ho blokes. I think I've got a dodgy cv joint going on the disco 1 (clunks when on full lock and feels like the axle/trans is 'climbing' something until it clunks and carries on a bit more until I straighten up) so I've been looking at replacement CVs (part TDJ000010) and several options...

I've been looking at stt pros recently Stu, would you say they're quieter than the bfg ATs that you had on before, and were the ATs also 265's? How much did they he end? They're a pretty good deal from most resellers I've found so far...

http://www.insaturbo.com/fam/en/familia/2/1/4x4/0 I run insa turbo traction trac in 265/75r16, which needed a bit of trimming and were OK on the old RRC police spec springs I had, but replaced them with a 2" lift kit from terrafirma and it's good. They're very good on the farms I drive around...

Er, Dakar? Not sure what Dahan is! But at 245/70 you shouldn't need to mess with the suspension at least..

Just to add to the above, I think that eventually any new tensioner will start to make a noise because of the well known problem of he casting misalignment, but adding a penny is too much for the stud to take in the long term, so use the barest minimum thickness washer that you can get away with..

I tried the penny trick a couple of years back and it gave me a squeak free aux belt for about 9 months or so iirc, until one day when sat at the lights there was a bang and the stud that the tensioner assembly sits on snapped! I then had to try and drill and extract it (which thankfully...

Insa turbo - which ones? Special tracks? Standard sizes or bigger?

I find LiquiMoly Diesel Purge a very good cleaner - run the engine off it neat for about 10-15 mins about once a year (before my MOT) and there's a noticeable difference afterwards in pull and emissions cleanliness. Just don't forget the new air filter before the MOT! :D

You say that about it not dissolving, but in the tank in my boot I can clearly see in the bottom of it and it's just not there! In the summer I run the diesel in the boot tank, and Veg in the main tank, and reverse this in winter. I've not seen it happen in the boot tank with either veg or derv...

Scroll down to the "Oil in Fuel" section here: http://dieselbob.co.uk/tips.aspx and also this page: http://dieselbob.co.uk/DieselFuel.aspx about fuel lubricity. DieselBob are at the top of the pile, so I'm inclined to take their advice! FWIW if I run my 300tdi without two stroke oil in the veg...

It could well be time to change the air filter - I bought a stainless boost pin off of eBay and it was good but very smokey. I thought I'd fit a new filter with it, and bought at the same time, but didn't fit immediately. I changed the air filter (6 months old) and the difference was huge -...

That's funny - I really like the TD5 lights! I think they're heaps better than the tdi ones :)
