Hi Dave, I've been looking through your older posts but can't see much about this D2 at all. I see today that you've started a cambelt and oil pump change, and you've fixed the leaky sunroofs in a previous thread, but I can't see much else and I was looking for some more details on the car. Can...

OK great, thanks

That sounds ok - silly question but worth checking all the same - is it leak free?! I only ask as my rad looks very good, but is weeping coolant from the join on the top right oil cooler joint... It took me bloody ages to find that leak! Cheers

Cheers - postcode is EX14 9pn.

If the radiator is in good nick then how much for that please, if post is an option! Many thanks, Fred

Hello all - I'm in need of a passenger side rear outside door handle if anyone has one please? Annoyingly I sent my parts disco off to scrap about 9 days before this came up in the MOT! I'm near Honiton or Taunton (Devon/Somerset) if anyone is nearby with one... Cheers, Fred

:D ...and again! I’ve been away from LZ for a while :confused:

I used aerosol primer on one and it came out quite well! It was really cheap poundland stuff too!!

Funny enough I've been to the lakes a coupe of times in summer and had a fairly strong hate for the place - tiny roads (and I live in the sticks in Somerset! ) crammed with moron tourists making it impossible to get around and lots of smug, irritating place names. But fast forward to summer last...

Ooh I do love Scotland - one of my favourite drives is the applecross road, though I've never done it in winter... probably should though as there would be less ****s in motorhomes coming the other way..

Well I'll be heading home from the Lake district tomorrow morning, but thought I'd stick a wee thread up about tut snur ont hills... We had some bloody brilliant weather here this week, culminating in a fairly big dump of snow yesterday around lunchtime and it coincided nicely with a trip into...

Yep I'd return that: https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/Non-Food-Offers.htm?articleId=10632&rdeLocaleAttr=en

:D Trouble is the damn things are so fragile and picky, I've been running the disco on veg for about 7 years or so now, and this is the first major issue with it and it's on twice the mileage of the bleedin skoda, plus the disco is a 1996, Vs the skoda at 2002 and I was expecting a lot less...

Bloody Nora, that's exactly the trick - a 110 non pd as they are apparently better veggers but very durdy... Sterling advice there with the brake clean soak and water injection - that's my new plan followed by ragging it over to yours with some beer st this rate :D

Sorry the boost gauge arrived Thursday, but I've not had time to try and plumb I in yet, but I get the cheap lecture pump replaced with another faulty one! So they will both be going back. In the meantime I went over all the fuel lines again and added a non return valve and now have a solid air...

Ok, so I've got a boost gauge on order, I'd better have a read around for the other bits to pipe the waste gate up to the manifold too, as that's a mod that's been on my list a while. I've got a spare IC so I'll add that into the testing

I'm not that familiar with facet pumps, despite oming from the classic mini scene where they're everywhere on rebuilds... What's this one like for wvo?

Hmm... links not working... hold on OK, links now working

Yeah I think the pump was faulty out of the box, it's this one - link I was looking at other types yesterday and looked at these- what do you reckon: https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/262150839763 Sliding pin was moving freely, though I sprayed in some light oil lube anyway, as the boost pin...

Quick update - buggering around with bottles and pipes revealed the new leccy fuel pump is faulty, despite making some convincing noises! So lots of messing about with limited bits of fuel hose to get me back to just the injection pump as the only pump in the system, but can't tell how it is as...
