    Emergency top hose advice please!

    This is exactly what has happened to mine. Picked my new pipe up today and getting it fitted Friday. I've put a temporary seal on it for now and have to keep topping it up every now and then.

    Td5 mpg

    No, I put £100 worth of fuel in her which was 80.7 litres and then noted the the mileage (I waited for the yellow light to come on then filled her up then noted the mileage when the light came back on). I thought the TC would be a gearbox or transmission off jobby:o!!

    Td5 mpg

    Thanks for the reply Dave, I got 400 miles from 80.7 litres of fuel i.e. a full tank. I would say 40% of traveling was motorway driving. TC cuts in at about 53-55 mph. Not sure when air filter was changed, I assume it was done on last service (4,000 miles ago?) I will change it though. MAP...

    Td5 mpg

    I've just finished a fairly accurate mpg check and thought it would of been a little better tbh. I've had a dynachip remap and EGR removal but am still only getting 22.5 mpg, this is a combination of short runs and motorway driving (55-60mph). I'm not too fussed but thought it would of been...

    7 seats

    Small adult yes, large one no! My niece who is seven was very comfy but her brother who is quite a tall 14 year old (5' 7" and skinny!) didn't look so comfy! Not much room left with both seats down and in use, I would say not enough for two dogs.

    Diff lock lights

    Thanks for the reply Paul. No, he isn't moving when he's trying it but I thought the little instruction panel said you have to be stopped? We tried locking the diff then moving a little but we didn't even do a quarter turn of the wheels. We will have another go and move further this time.

    Diff lock lights

    Hi all, My neighbours disco 1 is not illuminating the dash lights when the diff lock lever is pushed over. Is this because it isn't working or could it just be the contacts aren't working? Bearing in mind when he brought it a few weeks back the guy used it and the dash lights illuminated.

    The good luck bus has passed me buy

    Please forgive me for stating the obvious but this happened to the dealer I brought mine off. It turned out that it was out of fuel! It also made the fuel pump more noisy.

    TD5 Water system issues. Pics enclosed, could do with some advice please!!

    Sorry to hijack this thread but this seems appropriate. I needed to top up my coolant today as I lost some after breaking my EGR coolant pipe! But in my haste I added 3/4 litre of concentrate without diluting it. Will this be a problem? It was added to the Granville sub zero diluted stuff (same...

    Not a great start to owning a TD5

    PMSL Instead of the word "addicted" perhaps we should say "reliant"?

    td5 straight through pipe

    Are there any benefits to fitting a straight pipe or is it just better sound?

    I've broken a pipe!

    When I was removing the old EGR valve I accidentally broke the coolant pipe that leads to the EGR heat exchanger:o I've made a temporary fix but was wondering if I need this any more as I have now blanked off the heat exchanger? (I think the answer is, I do still need it!). If i do need it...
