Autoglym Bumper & Trim Gel. Gets my vote too forget the old wives tales tricks and try it you won't go back to anything else after using this stuff.

No it looks as the kids missed the bottom of the sills i paid good money to them for washing the car will do it 1st thing tomoorrow ;)

Take your time when looking for one, me personally i would walk away from one that hasn't got a prop shaft fitted regardless of the sellers story. i spent nearly 4 months trying to find the best one i could for my money high mileage isn't to much trouble to worry about my TD4 has best part of...

150% agree singvogel that is what i use all the time on my bumper plastics..... this is what i did to mine today after finding i had a rare saturday off.... put prop shaft back on complete with VCU and carrier bearings then gave the old girl a bit of love and TLC washed waxed hoovered out and...

Hmm very interesting indeed but aren't these the guys selling recon VCU's which are packing up very very quickly????.

Whoops not shure what happend to the letter N but 10/10 for spotting

Excellent idea with the bike brake cables don't think the kids would be impressed though if i broke their bikes :D will take a chance on the e bay repair kits cheers

Has anyone bought and used these electric window repair kits on e bay (the ones with the new cables). I have 3 windows on my car not working due to snapped cables don't want to wast my money if there not good but don't want to spend a fortune on new genuine complete electric windows either any...

No they were brittpart ones according to the service history paperwork I have fitted GKN ones today:)

Just thought i would mention that the VCU along with the Bearings were replaced with new items only in Feb 2011 with the mileage of 147,657 it now reads 165,771 they don't last very long do they??

Yup replace the brake switch easy to do and cheap to buy but don't expect every fix to be as cheap and simple to repair:D

After changing all 4 chunky tyres last week for road pattern ones i now could hear a kind of droning/bearing noise but wasn't sure where it was coming from. Removed the prop and took the car for a bit of a spin and the noise was still there although not as loud, now thinking it may be a wheel...

Point taken, think i will stick with the original set up:)

hi all i would like to get rid of the black plastic cold air intake from my 2001 freelander. I would love to replace this with some chrome piping and DPH silicone hoses trouble is where do i get the chrome piping from and can you buy it already shaped for my TD4 engine any help or a starting...

Thanks Singvogel you have made my mind up will pop down tomorrow and order the kit ,he reckons i will need to give him a few days to get one built as he is selling them as quick as he makes them. other than the BMW PCV filter mod along with the EGR bypass is there anything else that would help...

Hi all just spoke to the people who make these synergy tuning mudules as i am very tempted to install one in my TD4. what they recommend is the synergy2 module for my TD4 however they also recommend i change the maf sensor for one of their Pierburgh maf's if my motor is weak below 1000 rpm and...

No one wants them so there now in the skip !

It depends if your going to keep the car for a decent length of time,they sell better with dealer service history. All there going to do is a basic oil and filter change and fill you with crap about this needs doing and that's on it's way out. If you know the basics of servicing then i would do...

Don't let the mileage put you off, i bought one with 148,000 on the clock and it was the only thing i was worried about however i bit the bullet and bought it. It now has 163,000 on the clock and the engine is as sweet as a nut just can't fault it as long as it's been looked after I.E well...

Your roof bars won't give you any ground as they are plasic coated been there done that!
