    Thumping noise on rebound

    When i drive over a sleeping policeman or over potholes i have a thumping noise coming from the rear axle/dampers. It only occurs on rebound. Any ideas what it could be??? Front axle/damper are fine. I just find it irritating and want to sort it out. Many thanks in advance.

    Removing vents???

    Could someone tell me how to remove the vents on a 110 TDi??? I suspect my leak in the footwell stems from a dodgy seal. Hence I plan to replace both seals. However, I am struggling to remove the vents! Do the vent knobs screw off allowing vent removal or is there another way to remove them???

    Oil leak but can't pinpoint exact location

    Is this anything to worry about? Can this oil leak be stopped? Likewise can the oil passed be stopped at source? Many thanks.

    Oil leak but can't pinpoint exact location

    I have an oil leak on the near side of my engine block. I only noticed it when changing my intake hoses from the turbo to intercooler and intercooler to manifold. It isn't coming from the rocker cover but doesn't appear to be coming from the head gasket either. If anything it looks like it could...

    Silicon Hoses - How much difference? Is the cost worth it??

    Don't forget that perished rubber hoses do tend to clapse under the vacuum of the turbo. Silicon hoses don't delaninate like rubber and hense will last longer, look better & not expand under pressure like the std hoses.

    Lift pump priming lever - doesn't appear to do anything!!!

    Just that performance is terrible. Don't get me wrong it will cruise happily at 70mph just takes so long to get there. Then try and get up a hill and it really struggles. Ordered a new lift pump now so hopefully that will sort it. Thanks for your feedback.

    Lift pump priming lever - doesn't appear to do anything!!!

    Hi there, I changed my fuel filter this weekend. I loosened the bleed screw on the top of the filter housing and then proceeded to pump the lever on the lift pump to fill the new filter and bleed it. However, after pumping the lift pump for some 10 minutes I thought that nothing seamed to be...

    Fueling once performance mods complete

    Could someone please tell me if any adjustments are required to the fueling on the 300TDi once a performance filter, performance exhaust & uprated intercooler have been fitted? With the increase in oxygen now available I would imagine the engine would be running lean or does the 300TDi have a...

    Best 'OILS' for the job

    That's fair enough but if you are fedup then surely it's your right to simply ignore the post and simply keep the treads topical and informative. As a result I have used the search facility and have still found it to be a mine field. This is due in part to individuals stating to use all...

    Alternatives to DiskLok

    I have just purchased an 'ardcase that completely encases the pedals. It looks pretty well made and the material is off a decent guage that would prevent only the most motivate of thieves from stealing your pride and joy. Ultimately it doesn't matter what you do, if they want it that badly they...

    Just saying hello....

    I doubt it, I was simply after a tow car for my track car and the parents caravan. After all the Defender is apparently the best4x4xFar so what better than to buy one! Also with our first child on the way the extra load space will come in handy! So far I'm really pleased with it.:D

    Just saying hello....

    I would just like to say a big hello to all on the LandyZone. Purchased my first Landy this weekend and really made-up with it. Bought from MM-4x4 who were fantastic and a pleasure to deal with. It's a 1994 300TDi and I'm sure you will agree it's in fabulous condition. Had the door trim off...
