Many thanks

The day after I bought it the car ran on for a few seconds on a couple of occasions ... not done it since. Usually that's stop solenoid and an easy swap. Armour would have to come off to get at that. I called Diesel Bob who said they would get the casing off for 90 quid if I took the pump off. They ...

Sorry to hijack but saves a new thread.

The 1.9 dt I've just bought has done 192k miles. The previous owner said he had the cambelt done at 166k. There is a sticker under the bonnet on the strut housing that states cambelt and tensioners 166k miles. When is the next one due please?

Gary ... I can't hear turbo kick in at all and I certainly can't feel it. Stevie I'll check my old notes re the torx bolt. I thought you screwed it in ( down/clockwise ) to put more pressure on the diaphragm to increase boost? That's what I did with the Land Rover ... the Landy guys call it the smok...

Cheers Gary I looked at that black tubing/clip you talk about. There is no slack in the cable and only about half an inch of that tubing left through the bracket so not a lot to play with. I took it for a run this afternoon down a stretch of dual carriageway. Slight incline. Absolutely flat out down...

Hi guys I live near Stoke. I've had XUD 1.9 diesels before ... BX 19, Xantia 1.9 TD. Also recently had a couple of 1.8TD Mondeos and very recently a M reg 300tdi Disco. My Disco has just died so I wanted to get a 1.9 XUD estate with a tow bar and the Bosch VE pump. When I got my Disco it was very sl...
