Panic over. Found it. I didn't have the mechanism down far enough to see fully.

I am in the process of replacing my passenger side rear door window regulator. I have just partially fitted the new regulator and need to insert and tighten the bolt at the to where the glass sits. I cannot see much, is there a hole through the glass for the bolt to go through? I can't see one...

I seem to get between 480 and 550 miles per full tank depending on how I drive. My FL seems to go much faster on the way home from work. :D I wouldn't say I have a delicate foot on the pedal. :D I have a synergy set on the middle setting.

I can get up to 550 miles per full tank of diesel on my 2006 TD4 manual.

That wouldn't work for me. I had to use a junior hacksaw and cut the nut off. I then fitted a new bolt and nut to make sure the battery was secure.

Is it a simple job to attach a motor to a regulator?

I have not taken the door card off yet as the window failed in the closed position, so there was no rush to fix it. I can heae the motor when I press the switch.

Excuse me hijacking this thread. I had a regulator for my passenger side rear window arrive today. I thought it was going to be the complete package, ie: including a motor but it seems I din't read the description properly. :( No motor is included. Is it easy to fit the motor from my broken...

The current ones have been on there during the 6 years I have had the car. No idea how old they are.

I need to replace my track rod ends on my TD4 2006, but not until this awful hot weather ends. What are the best makes to get? I don't want to put something on which won't last too long.

How could that pass an MOT?

Just picked up the FL from the garage and they said they do sometimes apply grease to brake pipes when having an MOT. So it probably was them as I always use them of my MOT.

Would the garage do that without my consent and whilst an MOT is taking place?

MOT passed with two advisories. 1: offside rear brake pipe corroded and covered in grease. 2: One of the front track rod ends a little worn. I will do the track rod end myself but let the garage do the brake pipe. Not sure where the grease has come from as I didn't apply any to the brake pipe...

I am not going mad then. :D

I just refitted my EGR as my MOT is this coming week. I don't know if I am imagining it but the engine seems quieter than when it had the bypass on. Am I imagining it?

Battery clamp all sorted now. New bolt which I made secure by using a flattish nut inside the battery compartment. Battery is now held solid again.

Next year I will start pre MOT work much earlier. Left it late and am running out of time. Bloody work gets in the way too much. Roll on retirement. :D

What glue did you use?

I have my MOT soon on my 06 TD4. Whilst I was servicing it today, I have noticed that the battery clamp is loose. Despite much swearing and threats to kick the car I cannot tighten, loosen or remove the bolt. I can just about get my fingers to underneath the battery tray and it feels like it is...
