    Best battery for l322 td6 vogue

    I have a V8 petrol so im not up on the ins and outs of the TD6 but from my experience of my V8 letting the battery drain should not have caused any other issues, if the engines turning over but its not starting there may be an issue with your fuel pump or fuel rail. Matt

    advice on changing suspension bush L322

    The way i did it was i put the car in normal ride height - leave a door open at all times while you have the vehicle off the ground this will prevent the car from adjusting the height of the air suspension as when you start to jack up the car it will try and level its self. I would always use...
