Good to hear you got there & back! If its similar to the fronts, yes new nuts tend to be bigger. My trick to getting mine undone was, remove wheel, unstake nut, refit wheel, lower car, apply handbrake/also chock if possible. Then remove the centre cap from the wheel, a 32mm socket should pass...

Know what you mean! But as long as you check fluids at least weekly, it should be ok. (the owners book says, check oil level every "250 miles"!!) Mark

Hi Lee Check your transfer box oil level as well. Uses "normal" gear oil Due to both oil seals/output shaft bearings failing (thanks for nothing Ashcroft!) Im topping mine up monthly! 60-65 is a good cruise figure. Mines done 18K miles since Dec 2015! 700 miles in a day is not a stretch, wish I...

The one I have, which also fully covers the TD5 is publication number VDR100090 Eng 6th Edition. Which I think I got from a previous link from tulip..!

Any forumites in your area? Im in Biggleswade, if you can get it over to me Sat AM I can help you with it. Mark

I think it was non metallic, but the OCD part of me now means I have to find it again, its somewhere in my parts bin....Thanks:) Im pretty certain mine came of the redundant hose end at the bottom right of the rad. Mark

Hi Sorry I just re-read your first post! Yes a strange one! AFAIK that part should not have been inside any pipes!!! Buts def the same as the part I found and then lost, on mine!

Before I changed my injector seals, mine was a pig to start, cut out after idling for 5-10 mins. Then needed a fuel purge to re-start. So as Sierrafery says, if it starts after a purge, its 99% injector seals. Start your fuel purge, then go and make a cup of tea! Leave it at least 5-10 mins...

Hi Yes the pipe on my 2004 D2 is blank, its the one at the bottom right (startboard!) side. Its blanked as mine has never had the EGR cooler and the feed into the oil cooler is also blanked off.

Have you changed the injector seals yet?

Had one on my rad, I think its to stop the now redundant pipe stub on the rad from chewing into the hose that runs very close to it. The part you have should be fitted over the stub that sticks out. I lost mine, so I fitted a hose clamp around the hose where it touched the stub, this should...

Interesting about the LEZ. I dont think Ive ever taken it into the LEZ. But just checked my D2 Commercial on the TFL site and it came back "Exempt"!

Tester should do it in miles. Mistakes do happen but usually they are obvious.

OP probably doesn't want this to turn into another Brexit thread!

High mileage isn't really an issue, its condition thats important. But, misrepresented mileage is a big, deal breaker! The EU are attempting to make it illegal, see here: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/consumer-news/88547/car-clocking-is-mileage-correction-legal Hopefully they will before...

Pretty much a certainty that your injector seals need changing. Fairly easy job. Lots of info on here and http://www.discovery2.co.uk/Injector%20Seals.html Mark

Hi Bob! When its running, does it idle ok? OR If left idling, for more than 10 mins, does it slowly cut out and stop? Mark

I know we all know it...but there are some right tossers out there! Caveat emptor!

Nice info Brian47! IPA is my preferred stuff, meths is good as well and usually cheaper. Mark

+1 failing on tyres is a red flag to me!
