The system has already been bled and investigated for any faults by the garage. I wanted time to consider my options before spending so much money on it so have been using it. The conclusion was that it needed a new clutch kit as there was no obvious fault and no air in the system despite the...

Hmmmm, I have always suspected my local garage as being dishonest but never had any hard evidence. I have heard lots of people sing their praises though. When I booked it in, the chief mechanic and foreman said off the top of his head, he thinks it's around an 11 hour job.

I have far too many aches and pains to do something as big as this job. If I didn't need it for work, I would probably have a go despite the aches and pains. The price quoted is the worst scenario should it also need a mass flywheel and a couple of other things I can't recall. It's cheaper...

I have now done the mod and trimmed some of the plastic cowl. Sadly, it hasn't made any difference for me. I now have to decide, do I spend around £1300 for a new cluch or do I get rid and get a newer car. I am leaning toward paying for a new clutch as I could retire any time during the next...

Rear boxes are easy to replace by anybody with tools. Don't even need to lift car off the ground.

I remember the Ferretts of the 70's when in the Royal Engineers.

Ferret Scout as in military vehicle?

Surely LED lights in cab and boot area won't be a fail?

I must search for mine. I took it off years ago, so not sure if I still have it.

There are web sites that can supply a radio code for free.

Looks like a brothel! :D

Any idea when these new regs, whatever they may be come into effect?

Which way do you do the 1/4 turn? I am heavy handed and have a long history of breaking things with too much force. :( If the push rod can bedisconnected by pushing it to the centre console, I assume doing the opposite resits it in place? Waiting for a day off work when it is dry to do this. I...

Ok, found it now. I was looking under engine bsy. It is inside the cab. Right then, how the hell can it be trimmed in situ as space is very limited? I think I need to learn how to he a contortionist. :D

I am no mechanic but can follow instructions and do what I can to avoid garage bills. I have been under my TD4 2006 today looking for this push rod to look at trimming the plastic shroud but I can't even find it. Can someone please direct an idiot to where it can be found. I have looked from...

I believe there are different versions as when I purchased one for my 2006 TD4 about 4 years ago, I was asked for specific vehicle details as there was more than one version. This was from an online scrappy.

My understanding is that everything was replaced, hence the bill of around £1400

When I take a look under the car myself (when the rain allows), I shall grease the moving parts. Is there a certain type of grease I should use or just normal grease?

They claimed they looked at the possibility of air in the system and bleeding found nothing. They confirmed there was no trace of leaks. Anyone know roughly what it might cost me if I did the job myself if I can find the time to do it? They did give me a speech about the clutch system being...

The FL went in to my local garage today. Just been told that they can find nothing obviously wrong with it. They suggested that it probably needs a complete new clutch system possibly including the mass flywheel. All this was renewed 5 years ago, not 3 years as I believed. The car has done 30k...
