I've replaced the battery twice in the last 3 years and this one's done, leave the lights or anything at all in for 5 mins and it's dead. Is there a higher spec battery that actually last for the 2. 8CRD?

Recently had a chime when braking but no lights on dash, eventually noticed the four inner led's on the reverse parking sensors are red, and seemingly the sensors not working, any ideas is the chime which has now stopped connected?

Just done the front of both sills behind the front mudflaps, had to cut away completely and weld in plates, fill and done the whole underside with stone chip to stop getting worse. But id recommend it as i kniw its sorred once and for all

I've finally got the camber and alignment set which was a faff. Not sure why but it has raised the ride height of the car. Now measuring 30" from ground to top inside radius of wheelarch.

I've knocked the fuel heater flexi exhaust hose and it dissentigrated. Does anyone know what size it is or how to replace? I'd like to think it's standard hose.

They must be, looking on rock auto there do seem some different coil type in the different struts from different suppliers. Comparing mine to most on autotrader its definitely low, but the money ploughed into it the last month ill get it MOT'd and do the springs later

I guess theyve probably not bothered uprating the springs when they fitted the heavier diesel engine ! I woukdnt get away with that caper in my line of work !

This is wrecking my head, looking at same cars online and they definitely sit alot higher on the front struts. Are they adjustable or something? Im going to have to buy brand new strut assemblies to see if i can sort, the roads here are to bad to be running too low

Is there different types of factory roof bars ? I took a pair of an identical GV4 in a local scrapper,i took them off myself and they came off no bother at all, now months later im trying to fit them to mine and they just dont seem to fit?

I fitted the camber bolts and made a difference to the ride height, not sure how but the cars sitting better, will see better when i get the full camber and alignment done

Yeah, id heard the clicking before the first one went but didnt know what it was, whem i changed the strut on that side the snap ring had broken so the drive shaft came out of the cv joint. Mate whos a mechanic asked me had i heard a clicking which i had. Then heard it again last week which was the other side needig doing. The clicking noise is the ball bearings running in the worn casing.

Id a new engine in the summer andcgearbox problems after, it was the fuse wire at the battery and then the relay. Easily damaged if the mechanics careless

Mine on the driver side went the other week in the driveway, thevother side started clicking so changed it today, total handling anf fought me to the end. Had to smash out the ball bearings and cut the spider off. Listen for the clicking on tight corners. It will give plenty of notice.
