Re: 2003 Mercedes E320 CDI Estate - It was fun while it lasted
You may need a new intercooler as well. Serious turbo failure fills them with oil and bits of shit. You can try washing it out with petrol or cheap thinners. The exhaust will have oil in as well that will take a while to burn off. Oddly enough I saw a silver 54 plate E320CDI Estate shit its turbo th...

Re: VW TDI 140 or 170 bhp ?
VAG ABS pump you don't have to replace as you can just do the valve block. If you get the same model numbers it should have the correct coding. Even if it doesn't, most diag tools can do it and knock-off VCDS is cheap to get Not quite. Lots of VAG ABS modules have the same ATE part number - it mean...

Re: VW TDI 140 or 170 bhp ?
Mark 5 Golfs - rotten front wings, rotten sills plus VAG nonsense. Such as the cambelt tensioner stud that due to fine thread and shallow depth will either break off after a belt change if not changed, or will pull the threads of the head if replacement is attempted. ABS pump failure can be a nightm...

Re: Building the Leg End. The Old Jag thread.
No because BMW make loads of cars and lots of money. I don’t want any of them but they are very healthy.

Re: Sub Par Cars
They are lowest common denominator landfill.
Look at the junk they make now. Arkana, Austral, Autistic, Appalling plus all the Peugeot and Citroen rubbish.
The French haven't made a good car in decades. It's all cheap junk sold to halfwits.

Re: Sub Par Cars
French junk is French junk. Yuk. I ran a 2006 Civic and the suspension is pretty crap. Like the 1 Series bucket of shit WBOD I have now, it’s never settled but constantly and irritatingly joggly. Those Astra 4’s were very good as was the Focus. The Civic is just another meh car albeit generally reli...

Re: What did you do today?
Mrs has been using the Boxster for the last few days, as sitting around seems to be the worst thing for any car. Anyway headlight bulb went last night, so I found a bulb and prepared to do battle.

Re: Found pics
Those Fiat 126’s really were dogshit.
The Mini for all its faults was at least a proper car.
