Sure is but the car has been used on some rough tracks in the forest hauling firewood This 4 tyres is a real mallarky - when i bought the Td4 it came on 4 new hankook AT's. now they are starting to wear a bit the wet grip is really shocking. Saw the other day that the RH front tyre is down to...

checked my brakes the other day - surprisingly they look good on all 4 corners Just waiting for new tyres, 4 shock absorbers and then i can get a geometry check

Replaced vacuum hose that goes from T connector to EGR solenoid It had worn right through just before the solenoid where it is wrapped around a metal pipe......... Brakes seem to work better now - lol

No need for sealant around the injector seat Make sure everything is clean down the injector hole (vacuum it out) if there is a lot of crud around the tip of the injector it wouldnt hurt to remove it with a rag but dont attack it with anything brutal. You could get the injectors checked for...

Hi guys Over the weekend i had the pleasure of my Td4 being "visited" by scumbags (probably very sun tanned). Luckily i leave nothing of value in the car so i'm not over concerned about that aspect However i am interested in knowing how the car can be opened without leaving any visible trace...
