Cheers.. I will have a look in my back issues, hope I still have it cos I pass em onto someone after a couple of mths. Thanks again

I didnt get any instructions with it at all, just a photocopied piece of paper what does not give any step by step instructions just an exploded view.

I think it is.. Here is the item number on ebay 220407376829 :-)

I dont supose anyone has instructions to fit the swingaway part number DA 2232? I have just bought one & the fitting diagram isnt fit for purpose:confused: I have managed to fit the buisness part because thats self explanitary but its the bits that go on the door & attach to the carrier I cant...

Thought Id treat my 99 Td5 90 to a complete fluid change.. Im sure its never been done! Did the Axles etc ok but following instructions & amounts from Haynes, it told me that the Transfer box takes 2.8 ltrs. However, only about 1.8 ltrs came out & about the same went back in before it dribbled...

I snipped the wires out of the old lamps (writing down what went where), plugged them in & used a test lamp to get the correct lights working then connected the wires to the new lamps. The headlamp adjuster is easy (2 wires) & indicators are easy (2 wires)

I wont buy owt from them again.. Bought a door handle from them & it didnt fit :( Thanks again.

Great, cheers for that & have a great new year :)

thanks.. thats not too bad. I dont rearly fancy doing the job myself, how many hrs labour do you recon?

And is it the same as on a disco td5?

How much is this going to cost me?

I do hope someone can help? When I started driving my 99 Td5 this morning I noticed a small amount of clutch oil had seeped down the clutch pedal & onto the floor. During the course of the day it got worse & turned from a few drips into a small puddle! The clutch, over a short time became almost...
