Congratulations to you! excellent mod! Seems there is an ever so slight difference then! As long as its oil tight you've got it sorted. now you can rest not wondering if it will block without you knowing!

Hi - that is very strange mine went in perfectly. You don't use any parts of the original filter or its housing - the new unit has a small plastic cone type affair in one side and a valve in the other. It should screw down without adjustment unless somewhere along the line the engine has been...

Miine suffered having to drive through the floods in /around east yorkshire and hull. I started with 3 doors and dry feet and i finished with 3 doors and dry feet! No problems at all providing you are sensible, keep revs up in a low enough gear and make a nice bow wave!

Or of course.....buy a diesel!

wouldn't be putting cooking oil in a petrol !!!!! try redex and stuff maybe? How far over the pass limit was it?

Phssssssssssstttttt BANG thats that fooked then! I can hear my turbo whistle too when window down but apart from that no other problems (yet!) Glug Glug pass beer! And workshop managers eh - "I've got this strange grinding noise coming from under the truck I'm driving and oil leaking out...

Is it whistling noise you have or one that sounds like an air leak (phssssssssst type sound) on acceleration and lack of power? This could be intercooler hose leaking.

Spot on! No faults on mine that I know of but I've got my bid on - once I know it works (hopefully) I'll create a few errors by unplugging things! Mind - think i'll try on work van first!

can you post the seller on here ? Would love to have a reader for mine too as its a 2000 x as well!

I have heavy (er) steering on mine at tickover - i just give it a few revs and whack the wheel round sharpish! I guess one day the pump will give up. Does yours have a sort of rough sound from the drive belt system that shuts up when its warm? I'm thinking that it was me water pump...

I bought a 2000 (X) reg and to be fair don't mind repairing things when they go wrong - its more fun than watching telly ne ways and its a good excuse for having to buy nice new shiny i really must have it tools! So far nothing what I would call major mechanical - changed oil and filter, fuel...

:D Joking apart make sure you follow the instructions to the letter or you'll end up with binding brakes. Oh...and make sure if you decide to change the rear shoes that you route the cable correctly for the handbrake. Mine was an interesting one - when I bought it it had a full years...

why has noone developed some 'copied' software based on testbook? most peeps have a pc now so that would be an option. just make sure you wash yer wheels before you drive into your lounge to plug it in!!!

or 2 bits 4 x 2 timber under wheels stop it rollin.....

i would imagine so with a suitable solvent (like petrol!) :D :D

and the bmw new part works! cheers optimus

No I won't be fitting and forgetting BUT the original was probably badly named as 'filter'. The original was that coarse it would not filter any particles from your oil - it is a breather only which reduces the build up of pressure in the crank case forcing oil out where ever it can - through...

Just my joke I took it off, 2 oars, nice boat! Seriously it was useful in the flooding - you didn't know what you were going to hit bobbing around so it did exactly what it is designed to and offered some protection. Never really had a prob removing it - i changed all the bolts for new and...

It may be a pain in the ass but mine served its purpose in the floods around hull last summer - it makes a lovely raft!

if alternator overcharges then it may have fried battery - therefore battery useless. had the same with my TD4 last winter. I drove it up me ramps in the garage to check out how the FBH worked and wired up a bypass to make it run without the temp switch. Engine not running. Got fed up and...
