No it was a manual plier type thing, tried it once and once realised how crap it was have never used it since.

Will probably buy a crap air one instead

I would do what is easiest/quickest, less cut out the better for the car. How are you joggling the steel sheet? I ask as I bought a joggler (cheap one) and it is bloody rubbish.

Was it a cheap air one, as was looking at one may I ask? Yes less is better enough to cut out rust

Hi mate rear part not so good, three layers too have cut out rot in centre part, first will remove rear tub rot roughly white lines this will allow me to remove inner rotten part of cill again roughly marked, as sandwiched between rear tub and...

Sorry forgot accompanying pictures never like cutting out good material when unnecessary so much of this is good inside and out

What you think have cut out damaged outer cill inner cills are rust free, put camera inside no rust or outside or end, don't really want to cut into good factory metal, so have suggested a joggled joint at white line on outer cill at stiffener...

Yes as above, historic code, seems you are getting intermittent faults, egr will cause these issues as said, could check induction pipe work for leaks, also vacuum system has a connection or knock on to everything on your list of faults You can...

Remember the airflow meter code you had put up was a historic one not a current issue. I've seen this before on a disco 4. Unless its a current or permant fault don't worry about it. Airflow meter, high air flow is usually an egr valve not...

I’m hoping you can help me, I’m at a dead end and no end in sight! Recently forked out for two new garret turbos on my D4 XS 3L V6 2010. This was due to indie finding considerable amount of oil and decided to replace. Prior to this inlet...

Picture of vacuum system from sdv6 if its any help, trace from vacuum pump, visibly for a start check hose from solenoid at front to cross over valve, runs across radiator, engine mounts also part of system, check for oil effected gummy pipes...
