I did. Thanks again Dave.:) It wasn't as difficult as you might think. Mind it did take me the best part of a day. Mostly taking other stuff off to get access to the pump and then putting it all back together. Take your time and keep everything really clean. And make sure the big O ring is...

He's got a pair, they're holding the front up! But I absolutely agree, axle stands a must. Or big bits of sleeper...

I disconnected the EGR years ago. Go to all the bother of a cooled turbo to force more oxygen in and then add some hot carbon dioxide/monoxide? Can't really see the point of them. Apart from as a sop to supposedly green compliance. I cleaned it all up to make sure it was properly closed then...

You make that sound quite easy! ;) Perhaps I'll tackle mine soon, weather goes on like this I'll need that blower...

I had one of them. 1952 TED 'Little Grey Fergy'. Ran on TVO - Tractor Vapourising Oil. It became harder to get and then the accepted replacement was 4:1, heating oil to petrol. You just had to make sure it was properly warmed up before switching over. There was a dual fuel tank with a two way...

and THC ?;)

Boy this site really doesn't like much swearing!

I was initially unconvinced that auto could be any good in mud and ****e. I've been amazed. Plus you've got the option of limiting the gear changes by putting it into low range 1,2 or 3. Traction control (mine's 2001) seems pretty effective. Here we go tempting fate, this'll **** things up, I've...

Yup! Me too. Hauling various plant around and across muddy fields etc I've found it to be as good as my old 2A was, even on road tyres. Maybe I'm missing something and don't know enough about engines but this M51 seems to be great to me. Don't BMW make the best diesel engines? The TD5 we had in...

Yup! Done that, it went up to its max (99.9):). Mind, watch it come down again when you start accelerating again:eek: Had my first over £95 fill the other day. It was Shell v power diesel and it is a bit dear, complete opposite to LPG, but I'm told that long term use will be much better for the...

It must also take a signal from the fuel tank sender 'cos when you fill it up it re-calculates the range? Mine seems to be pretty close to the brim to brim calculations I've done. Average 23mpg, on a motorway run 35. (Across the fields or towing about 12!) (Mine's a 2.5 DT, and I recently did...

Mine has got the mpg/trip computer and cruise control, dipping mirrors but not heated. All seems a bit inconsistent unless all these details are specified by buyer or perhaps dealer? Or they just put in what there was plenty of in stores as the production range came to an end?

You think that's bad, what about some on here who have mounted their phones/screens/whateverthe**** into the space above the stereo?! Like watchin TV while driving! Nightmare for other road users!:mad: and they're making cars like that these days whilst prosecuting for using a phone. Doesn't...

Mine is a 2001 DT. Don't know how true this is but it is said that late in the range models tend to get better than bog standard spec as they try to tempt buyers waiting for the new one. So mine has aircon, quite a bit of wood, (but not as much as HSE), Alpine stereo etc. No side boxes in the...

we've all got them mate;)

No,I've got one of those for the Fergie. 'Buckrake' they're called round here A trailer. I'll see if I can find a pic...

Have you seen those wee trailers that crop sprayers carry the chemicals around in? Like a big barn tool box on wheels. Always fancied one of them...

Thanks for the info chaps. I've a few things to do on the never ending list, but when I get to the blower and then the aircon that'll help. Cheers.

I think the temp sensor is working okay 'cos when I set Hevac to 'auto', or to the demist prog, it takes a while to come on full, presumably 'til the water has heated up. The faulty fan is going full all the time (or it would if I hadn't pulled the fuse) Anyone got a schematic of the aircon...

As ever, thanks for your deeper knowledge of these things! Is this in Rave? Or is the transistor in the blower motor? Q2 - Is there a NRV in the aircon system? Someone once told me there was but I can't see why there would be...
