Have had front bumper for over 3 years along with their tree sliders. Have fitted the rear bumper with NAS lights in the past 6 months. The front bumper took the brunt of a motorbike hitting the front corner when I was parked up and saved the insurance company writing it off cos the damage was...

I had this interesting problem a few years ago and after some research found out that petrol stations tanks have automated meters, which communicate with the petrol station via the same frequency as that used by many car imobiliser transponders. This means that if your car is in a position on...

Like your style Yoyodyne. If you want a laugh what I didn't tell you about the Morocco trip was ! also blew both air bags and its now running on coils of a dubious nature put on in Morocco by a great couple of 'make-do-and-mend' mechanics. Ho-hum.

Gearbox oil is OK if slightly darker. Always used MTF94 in it. What would the colour indicate?

I'll have a look tomorrow morning and let you know.

Hi all. Recently returned from Morocco after towing my camping trailer 3500 miles on and off-road. I'm pretty sure I've broken the gearbox but would like some confirmation if possible. After a day running around in low box off-road gear selection was stiff in all gears in high box when I...

Again seconded about the regular service. I take my TD5 round Europe most years and never think twice about any problem because it get serviced and checked on a regular basis. 2500 miles is no problem in a month once a year without any special checks. Apart from servicing it at around half...

The tried and tested way of finding holes in the bags are to extend them and spray with a solution of washing up liquid and looking out for bubbles.

Hi there, Sounds like the compressor running all the time. Yes they do run for a few seconds when switched off often to level things up as normal. If after you have raised the back and then lowered it it goes away then you have got a small hole near the fold in the bag. Small sharp stones get...

London stu, If you want an original CD autochanger Guy Salmon in Sheffield have a few they are trying to get rid of. I was offered one the other day for I think about £90! Give them a ring and ask the parts dept. Regards

When I bought mine 3 years ago I thought the level was a little low and topped it up to the mark. Within the week it was an inch below so topped up again. The read that the level often is lower than the mark. So I left it to see. In three years it has always stayed at the same albeit lower...

Hi there 50, Anymore of the D2 CDL in the pipeline? Regards

It could be as simple as a £10 set of solenoid contacts off EBay. My 2000MY TD5 failed to start a few times so I fixed the solenoid contacts and never had a problem since. It seemed as if the battery, starter motor, engine didn't want to work but it was much less of a probem. Simple job as long...

Hi Ian, Did the same thing about 18 months ago. I was going to go down the re-map route but came across a Steinbauer P-Box piece of kit on FleaBay for £67. Compared to the £5 - 600 new I couldn't resist it. I've been very pleased. Just one thing to note,most tuning boxes just increase the...

Thanks for the replies. I read last night after trawling the net about the problems with Subaru's on their forums. No problem with the remote plip, that always works. How does the key fob communicate with the exciter ring then? Does that use 433MHz or what? Found a site with about a dozen...

Hi all, Got an interesting issue with my 2000MY TD5 at present. Pulled onto a Morrison's forecourt to fill up and while waiting in the queue to get on the pumps I switched the engine off. When trying to start again....nothing. All lights on but no fuel pump running, no relays clicking...

Hi ant. This what your looking for? Extreme 4x4 Ltd DISCO 2 SIDE EXIT EXHAUST Kind Regards

Hi there, Do a search on Steinbauer not Stienbauer and you'll find my post regarding my TD5 use of a P-Box. Got mine off EBay for £67, last one I noticed went for £41. No doubt TDV6 are more expensive. Regards

Hi there, Does the car drive normally when the amber ACE light is on? Is this really a problem with ACE? These vehicles are very sensitive to voltage when it comes to reporting faults and also to earth leaks which is not suprising when they have a few kilometres of wiring in them by the look...
