    Tdi to TD5

    IMO,ACE is one of the good features of my Td5,handeling on the road is realy good,it's height adjustable for off road and self leveling when carrying loads or pulling trailers. Cost of parts isnt such a big issue if you dont source from main dealers,I use Paddocks. Thats my two peneth,for what...

    Gearbox oil leak.

    As far as I could see,it was coming from somewhere on top of the gearbox,I could'nt see any pipes or a definate source of the leak.

    Gearbox oil leak.

    Yes,large puddle of oil on floor,then when I tried to put it on the trailor it mooved a short distance in reverse with lots of revs,then nothing:confused: .I'm thinking along the lines of,no oil will stop the torque converter from engaging???Is that possible?

    Gearbox oil leak.

    Hi,all the oil has leaked out of my gearbox(I think),truck is a 2003 Td5 auto,when I trailored it to the main dealer there was no drive at all in any gear,forward or reverse.I'd just like to know,am I looking at a new gearbox?:( or could itbe something less serious. Thanks in advance. Marc.

    MPG Good news!

    Had my 2003 Td5 auto for about 4 months now,checked my mpg last night,came out at 19.4mpg:eek: (not good),mind you thats mostly on steep winding country lanes,some of which is with a 2 and a half tonne trailer attached. Still love it though:p
