    How to add power steering to a 1985 2.5d

    you should be able to pick up the parts via eblag, most early 90 turbo's had power steering that will bolt onto your engine to give you the pump and belt set up, just need a steering box and the pipes then

    always the throw back with having more rubber in contact with the road - increases drag

    heres a good one for you...

    sounds like your front steering arm has a slight bend in it or track rod end is bent

    haven't noticed any increase in fuel consumption still can get to Santander from here (600km) using only 50lts, but with roof rack on that goes up to 58lts

    cooper st or stt

    i have stt 235/85's on my 110 and find them good on road or on dirt - wear is not to bad either, just have to watch the rocks (flint and granite here) as the tread can be cut quite easily

    deisel prices

    I used to use old engine oil in my 300 - just filtered it and it ran great with a 50%mix of diesel with it

    200tdi cylinder head

    yes it can - just needs injectors and glow plugs removed as they protrude, valves are recessed

    300tdi knocking & now wont fire

    brake servo will not have anything to do with it as it is cam driven and the oil pump is crank driven, got to be the timing belt

    What MPG do you get?

    ours is now 1.22€ per litre

    Discovery 300tdi - What Engine Oil

    see my other post - freshly rebuilt engine by Terry Hoyle (google him and you will find that he built the BDG's for most running Fords back in the late 70's and early 80's). The fully synthetic oil was Mobil 1

    Discovery 300tdi - What Engine Oil

    the engine was rebuilt before sale with all new bearings / pistons etc. even though non where required - purely down to the oil

    Discovery 300tdi - What Engine Oil

    I am in agreement with CharlesY as we used to use the TUO oil in our high revving rally car (BDG escort) and never suffered a single engine problem in the 2 years of competition, but when we sold the car the guy who bought it went onto a fully synthetic oil and before his first event the engine...

    London Low Emission Zone - LEZ

    My job in 2008/99 was fitting the silencer filters to trucks to enable them to pass the emissions test for LEZ, after fitting we tested each vehicle and filled in the form for LEZ - always passed (legit). Knowing the emission levels on your 200tdi engine it will pass if it is runing well, so why...
