My car check app shows it as being an XS model if that makes any difference to it being a 50th anniversary model?

how much you looking to get for it mate? may be interested, pm if you prefer.

It does seem to be a common problem, I'll have it checked at the garage on Monday

its book in with a diesel injector specialist on monday moring so hopefully ill know what the problem is and can get it fixed

he had a noise coming from his that went after changing the crank pulley, although i dont think thats whats wrong with mine but worth a check i suppose

cheers mate, ill have a check when it stops raining, i think its injector related though. its book in with a injector specialist on monday so i might get them to take a look ewhile its there

Thanks for that mate, learn something new every day. I was surprised how much difference it made tbh, I was towing a trailor last week and thought I was going to have to get out and push, apart from the clattering I'd be quite confident to tow with it again. Hopefully there injectorshould can be...

Happy days! Didn't realise it was that cheap. Which shall I order, 3mm or 4mm ID?

Low end has improved but before fitting the new one there was a lack of power at low rpm then a sudden surge of power and nothing top end. Now it's a lot smoother and pulls from low rpm all the way through. Thanks I'll order some up soon

fitted the new maf and although it hasnt cured the problem, its quite clear it needed changing. theres a smooth power delivery from low rpm where as before it was gutless under 2k rpm. feels a lot better now. so ill ring the diesel specialist place tomorrow and book it in. also found some more...

i was actually just reading a thread about this. for the £8 that it costs i think it would be silly not to change it. looks a bit of a fiddle to change though, ill order one up and get it changed.

dont think ill be that lucky but ill definitely try. at the rate this thing is needing them could do with buying shares in the company

yeah usually have to pay a surcharge on them, tbh i dont mind as long as it runs properly.

ill be booking it in with this company tomorrow if the maf doesnt sort it http://www.bclelectrodiesel.com/index.php if it turns out to be injectors ill buy however many i need from them as im sick of dealing with eurocarparts. hopefully itll be sorted soon as its driving me nuts. nearly set...

Thanks mate, at the moment it's just an option I'm considering out of frustration. I've been and seen a BMW specialist today and he reckons it's the injectors. I'll try and find someone local that can have a look at it. New maf will be here tomorrow and will be fitted tomorrow evening aswell

Been having a look around for a second hand engine. There's 2 options local to me, first is from a 2006 td4 sport with 136k on the clock still in place so can hear it running. Won't come with injectors/turbo just wiring loom and hp pump it's up for 185 quid. The other option is a 2002 td4 not...

Done another video without the wind noise

hi mate, yes its done around 157k, i had a look at the pulley this afternoon after reading other threads on here. theres no obvious signs that the pulley is shagged. doesnt wobble or anything. there is no record of it being changed though.

thanks, ill have a look into it. at the moment im considering fitting a second hand engine with lower miles on it

it does indeed sound like a bag of spanners, the maf is currently unplugged due to a lack of power, new one has been ordered today so will fit that as soon as it arrives. the injector loom has not been replaced, is there a way to test wether its faulty? there is a good diesel tech fairly local...
