I've got a clutch claw on mine. Was a bit fiddly to set up at first, but once that bit's done and then you train yourself to put it on every time you leave the car unattended, it's surprising the added feeling of confidence you get. Don't think they're very easily hackable, and would probably...

1996 166,000, original engine. Bought it on 146,000 3 years ago. Been all over Europe hence the extra 20,000. Not one fault whatsoever engine-wise, never let me down, starts first time on the button. Only renewed parts have been rear shocks and tailgate lock. More importantly, it has got full...

Just a question for advice in the future please, both for myself and anybody else who might want to know. I have a 1996 300TDI. Although I usually carry a spare can, if I was ever to run out of diesil, specifically for my model, what exactly would be the procedure after re-filling, regarding any...

Why not try getting a can of spray adhesive where the nozzle is similar to a WD40 can, the one that comes with the small red tube attached. Then make tiny hole in roof lining approx same dia as red tube, at a convenient point central to the drop of the lining. Then attach red tube to spray...

Hi all. I've driven to Bulgaria and back twice now in my 300TDI ( 1966 ex N reg ) What with my home made roof rack and the back fully loaded, it wasn't surprising I was getting flashed at all the time, due to the headlights obviously beaming way up at the wrong angle, and blinding passing...

Well not that I can see. Looks like you just turn a key from inside the cab, depending where the unit is affixed, to isolate the clutch supply fluid, so clutch is inoperable. You could leave the engine running unattended in certain situations (not that anybody would usually), then if someone...

Hi, just wondered if anyone has or is using this: Meck Lock It's a hydraulic lock off system. Couldn't find anything on the forum so far, was wondering how effective it would be. Any thoughts anyone ?

Oh yeah, see what you mean. Must have had a dim moment. I'll see if I can check the sounder battery / location at the same time I fit the new battery. Thanks

Well thanks fellas. I might try biglads suggestion first, as it looks like the most straightforward. I know the sounder battery is ok as it went off recently. You could've heard it three streets away, hence my original question. I was more worried about upsetting the neighbours if I couldn't...

Hi. having looked through the Battery recommendations on the site, I think I'm going to get a Numax CXV 24 MF. My question is, if I turn off the alarm with my key fob, will the alarm go off as soon as I take the battery off ? When I say turn off, I just mean pressing the off button once. I...

Another option, check if the big flat air filter is blocked. I had exactly the same prob. Changed it, now ok.

Wow, I never expected to get such a varied response. Having said that, I'm still no nearer to a difinitive answer of will I do any damage, yes or no. At present, I'm enquiring about delivery from the UK, with quote, for two replacements. As previously noted, I certainly wont be driving back to...

Ok, thanks everybody. I think I'll err on the side of caution at least, and 50 pence's reply made sense with new vs old. I'll check the rolling rad out. Maybe won't be such a big deal after all, plus may have an option from a scrapyard this weekend that I just heard about, so will be going to...

Hi again. Thanks v. much for all the replies so far. I'm still somewhat in the dark as to how much damage I could possibly do if I continue to drive with this set up, as the replies do seem to conflict slightly. Using a comparison check chart, it's telling me that the overall difference in...

Hi. I'm running a Discovery 1 ( 1966 ). I had BF Goodrich AT's all round. Size of these are 235-70-R16. Due to emergency circumstances, I had to replace the front two tyres with some Pirelli Scorpions, which are a different size of 225-70-R16. I'm out in Bulgaria at present for a couple of...
