Hi mate removed the back part of the passenger cill cover, managed to get cover self tappers out, Hands up was proved wrong, hole at bottom/back of cill, but they couldn't have known as you couldn't see, and I poked the hole, inside the cill still has coating so caught at right time perfect...

Hi mate mot inspector going to go over your D3 tomorrow, going to check brakes, for corrosion and leaks as per proper mot, but am pretty sure their ok, but could be proven wrong, will see, will also check for welding, myself can have a look over pit and will take a few pictures for you all the best

Sorry mate first pics passenger side as good as my 09

Appears to be all drivers side removed passenger side trim, cill all good outer and inner, when all along underside with a dolly hammer in fact as good as they get, brakes pipes seem ok so far but once jacked up can see better but to be honest are mostly all plastic coated OEM Drivers side...

Hi mate home safe and sound, your D3 is in good company here in Norfolk and has many new friends, (see pic) very quiet motor noticed straight away Will take next day or so to get to a workable position reshuffle needed, difficult to picture rusty bits until jacked up and on stands, will make a...

Thanks mate, but more like a sort of madness

Thanks, yes driving around almost daily seems ok so far fingers crossed, nice thing to drive, not as smooth ride as D3 Lol, Yes mate diagnostic a must, topdon payed for itself, took a lot of working out, changing mind and head scratching but got there in the end Many thanks for your input mate...

Yes as above, historic code, seems you are getting intermittent faults, egr will cause these issues as said, could check induction pipe work for leaks, also vacuum system has a connection or knock on to everything on your list of faults You can switch maf sensors fault will follow, the one I...

Picture of vacuum system from sdv6 if its any help, trace from vacuum pump, visibly for a start check hose from solenoid at front to cross over valve, runs across radiator, engine mounts also part of system, check for oil effected gummy pipes, hand vacuum pump is most useful Just bought a sdv6...

Just took sport out today 80ish miles to coast sunny hunny in fact, bit of fast, slow, and stop/start can report no transmission overheating so far, previously could only do about 20 miles before gongs, in fact first and longest journey with no issues, so keeping fingers crossed, many thanks...

Hi mate try ivor Searle although in soham Cambridgeshire, they've done all my tdv6 machine work, one of the guys there is restoring a series himself

Bless you mate, going to make sure I have all parts for egr before touching at all, bought a pierburg egr, cooler filter, gaskets etc, am suspecting dpf issue, although I believe a blocked cooler can cause similar issues with sooting up, am guessing it's unlikely to have been serviced will see...

Thanks guys, not to bad a job, really as long as it works Lol Started to put back together yesterday did go backwards a couple of times, bit fiddly but just lights and bumper to do Trying to work out what's issue with egr being unplugged, removed tube from egr to inlet its blanked at egr, will...

Yes will continue to work at it, but doing well since have smoked for 45 years Gearbox went ok today valve block was bit tight but came out in end, used a socket to compress neutral manual selector, see a strip down video on YouTube simply followed what he did, valve block out then speed...

Not at all mate, but have already bought lifeguard thought I'd stick to same, came from same source as service parts, just about to drain and remove valve block before work today Will post some pictures later, can't see any means of regulating flow to cooler, comes out of bottom of radiator...

Yes mate see now why you were interested in water and transmission temp being same on live data, might just change transmission warmer getting to it at later date would be a real pain, Yes all overcomplicated and squashed in, very difficult to see, once your hand is in the way Lol Not 100% but...

Hi mate thanks for plug pictures could work out that plug turned anti clockwise, was just being over careful didn't want to break the tab, two thumbs and twist of the connector ring thingy and it popped round, up, and off Pins all look in mint condition, wiring too so far Start on change over...

Thanks again mate will see what happens next as bits now arrived, but would be a great saving if that's the next step, fingers crossed its sensor, what a gerfuffule to get too, and to put back I'll bet, many thanks once again mate, will let you know readings once I get it out and unplugged All...

Hi little round thing is grommet for air box, looks like a pipe in picture I must admit, worked through it today, down to sump at last everything came off useable and undamaged, lot of hassle but wanted a good view, you can now get a good view of cooler I fitted, couple of small oil leaks and...
