Just let an on-line Mod know when you want it opened and we will oblige

A window will be left open for you, or when you are done again just let us know to close it

Very useful and informative post. Thanks for all the hard work that has obviously gone into it for the benefit of existing and future members.

One small error I spotted was that the performance spec for the 1.8 auto is not correct, you have quoted the manual version figures for mpg, and 0-60 etc.

Best wishes

A minor error in the 1.8 turbo bit (post 9)

Quote:

Rough running / M.A.F

If your 1.8 Turbo is running a little "lumpy" or "rough", with revs at idle searching in and around 750 to 900 plus up to 4500 rpm its great but then lacks instead of pulling to 6700rpm then your looking at a M.A.F failure (providing you have checked the hoses above into the turbo).

There isn't a MAF sensor on the 1.8T. I presume you mean MAP sensor?

Fantastic posts though.

Fantastic guide, Ive been mooching on this site for a couple of months, soon will be needing a more economical car than my Discovery Td5 for commuting and a 75 diesel would seem to fit the bill now just need to find a good one!

Going on 4/5 years since I first wrote the thread I take great joy in how many people have used the knowledge to benefit

Question is, it's time to add more to it.

What would people like to see added to the guide.

I'm thinking a rear arm suspension rot section is obvious, but any other regular problems that have become more of an issue in recent times?
