Paid £80 each for Chinese cheapo's so £35 each for genuine Pirelli seams to good to be true.

If you raise the temperature of diesel the vapours will ignite the same as petrol. (Between 52 and 96 deg c)

Just got to the stage of no longer trusting it mainly due to reading all the premature failures and defects posted on this forum. At 114k miles, average of 25 mpg around town and £280 RFL decided that this was the right time to get rid, my days of sitting by the roadside waiting for recovery...

Sold it last week.

Bells sent me some used lock tabs when I phoned, very helpful.

All window regulators have cables that either break or jam due to the wire strands separating. Kits can be bought off eBay or you can go for the complete regulators with motor. Have a look on you tube for video instructions on how to repair or, as suggested, use the search button on here.

Part ex price round here for 2005 facelift is between £3000 to £3500 and that's in good condition with all the doors on :).

As suggested check out the fuel pump under the O/S/R wheel arch. Pain in the bum to change but plenty of info if you use the Forum search. If pump has failed I would suggest buying OE or genuine replacement as eBay specials can be noisy and suffer from premature failure, filter should also be...

Just noticed this ones from Prague so not sure I'd go for this as don't usually buy from outside the UK, plenty of others to choose from though and as long as they have the qualities I've listed they should be OK.

I'd go for item 171254929093 as looks the same as I bought but £10 cheaper. As long as there's a stub for the small vacuum pipe, the exhaust blank is heavy duty and it won't go rusty then I'd go for it (this one seems to fit these conditions).

Bought mine off eBay, cost £30 without new bolts and gasket (which you don't usually need as originals should be OK)
