My Td5 has a issue regarding the heater. After a couple of mins of driving the heater warms up nicely but if I park & leave the engine running the heater gets cooler & cooler until its just blowing cold air. If I drive off it will warm up again:confused: It doesnt matter if Iv driven 10 or 50...

Just over £500, had to get a couple of bits from main dealer what was expensive. Had to buy the tailgate trim what cost £118 & a couple of arches £42 but everything else was off ebay. Its the light wiring thats got me a bit stumped.

Its pretty straight forward on the 1.8 or Td4 models, there is some minor mods you have to do like change direction of towing eye etc but I'm not sure about the V6 model.. I belive they have air blasts & stuff the other models do not have. There is a thread that covers the conversion on here, I...

We have 99 'V' 1.8 xei 5dr in Ardenne Green & it clocked over 100k on Sunday! It has had some 'issues' but its a bloody good car so we are keeping it & I have nearly got all bits to do the 04 on facelift to bring it upto date :)

If you could sort me out some plugs Matty I will appriciate it.:)

If it makes the noise whilst driving then it could be the centre prop bearings shot. When they go they sort of sound a cross between a windy noise & a sort of grinding. I have found in my experience that once the centre bearings go then the VCU is not that far behind them. Check VCU otherwise...

Many thanks.. I have seen some later spec rear lights on ebay so just waiting for some of my ole tat to sell on there what finishes in a couple of days & I will grab em. Just read Stuarts thread & I recon the only prob Im gonna have is wiring up the lights. Or how Im goin to go about it :confused:

Great help many thanks

Thats great Matty.. I cant wait for our FL to look like that, only a couple of bits to get & I can crack on with it. Oh the top rear lights, do I have to change them? are they different because they look the same on both the early & 04 on spec? Thanks Ian.

Hope someone can help? My 90 Td5 is about as watertight as a sieve! The sunroof is horrendous when it rains but Im not to concerned about that its the drivers door what Im kinda worried bout, well I say drivers door but the water seems to come from down behind the pedals. Do I need a new door...

Thought Id bring this thread back up to the top because Im in the process of getting all the bits to facelife the Mrs's FL. Someone mentioned that full instructions to do the job are on a thread on here but Iv been trawling & cant seem to find it.. Does anyone know where it is? Thanks Ian...

The pulley is tensioned by a spring mechanism, I just followed the instructions from Haynes manual but something does not seem right. The manual did say undo the pulley & too tighten it after fitting new belt but after its sprung to release the belt it will not now take up the slack when...

It sounds like its the stalk but it could well be an earthing problem somewhere if the lights are dim.

I hope someone can help? My drivebelt looked a bit frayed so decided to change it. I released the adjuster pulley, took off the old belt & fitted the new one. I then tried tightning up the adjuster pulley bolt what tightened up ok but it did not take up the slack. I then undid the bolt and moved...

There does not seem to be any movement in the pulley but if I was to take off the belt & then start the engine, if I still have the noise its safe to say its the crank pulley & if the noise isnt there it will be something else. Will it be ok to take the belt off & fire the engine up for a few...

Great.. Thanks for that, I will check that out tomorrow.

Yes, its a low whine at tick over it does get progressively louder the more I accelerate both in neutral & driving along.

No aircon

Hope someone can help. My 99 Td5 has developed a new noise over the last couple of days. Yesterday morning it developed a sort of grinding noise coming from the drivebelt area and this morning the grinding noise turned into a sort of whirring noise what gets louder as I accelerate.. Its very...

Its a pain in the a*** but the Mrs likes it. Owned the thing since May 07 & in that time: 1) Clutch 2) 2x Prop Bearings 3) New tyres (They wear bloody quick!) 4) IRD 5) It has developed a top end tap on starting it today.
