Then i played around with the pump primer & attempted to start her up. Result - started just about right as ...

Engine starting problem - " Driving me round the bend!
Hi everybody, My 1.9TD is baffling us all. The problem is that upon starting the engine, the engine has to turn at least half a dozen times before it fires. OK i know what the usual suspects are. So i have taken the car to 2 "Diesel Specialists " to try & find the answer. We have tested the injector...

I really do enjoy reading these stories about highest mileage cars. It,s quite incredible what some of these 406,s achieve as regards longevity. My last 1.9TD had 271,000 on it before being passed on & it,s still going around as regular transport everyday. My current 2.1TD only 111,000 currently so ...

Power Steering 2.1 TD
I have noticed the same "light" feeling on my car. I also wondered whether

to previously....

People also use 10w/40 as well - there isn,t much i...
