    Ps- My Dad is driving the 200 to the local Landy 'expert' tomorrow which is 20 mile away, is he risking it a little being as it could possibly be the cam belt that has slipped?

    Ermmm...im afraid i didn't know there was more to a service than replacing the fuel, air and oil filters and oil. :o:o The Cam belt was changed 30,000 miles ago. Please explain to a fool what else there is to a full service? Sorry for my naiveity. :o

    TDI 200-Does it have Diff lock+is it advantageous in ice?
