    De cat,wher can I cash in the old pipe,Surrey

    Because diesel cats don't contain platinum or other presious metals, they aren't a true catalytic converter in the same sence as a petrol ones they are a particulate filter

    L322 sat nav screen question ?

    on a 53 plate TD6 just what information does the screen display ? is it just radio station and tv/sat nav or can you bring up 4x4 info like on the D3's ? I'm not that bothered about the tv or indeed sat nav but the 4x4 info might be good to watch or else i'll knock it off my "must have" list...

    Disco BASSSSS rear door speaker sub upgrade :-)

    there is no sound coming out of your subs because you've changed the head unit and the subs have lost their signal it's quite easy to get them working again if you have RCA outputs on the back of the new head unit.

    300tdi sluggish in mornings

    perfectly normal. everything is stone cold so the oil is thick and can't move around so well. Just think of it as like when you wake up, you don't spring out of bed and go straight out to work as soon as your eyes open, you need a little time to wake up too :)

    everybody has a fan removing tool, it comes in two parts 1. hammer 2. long screw driver and it will come out of the top no problem and once it's off leave it off

    Big socket on bottom pully is the way. and who ever told you that you have to drain the coolant to take the cowling off is on drugs

    diesel tuning box

    no a tuning box goes in between the engine and the ECU, taking information from the ECU altering it, then sending it out to the engine. imagine the engine sending out a signal of 1, the tuning box adds it's little bit and sends the engine 1.25 removing it will just revert it back to standard.

    Buyng a V8 L322...what to kow, check, etc

    just have a look underneath at the fuel tank and reassure yourself that there are no holes in it because you will be convinced there is once you start to use it. I borrowed one from a friend over a weekend and from friday night till sunday night i used £100 worth of fuel and didn't really go...
