oh dear! ive just sent my mate to get his wheels balanced in his new 2.4 :~ When you say hubs, do you mean the free wheel hubs? if so what would cause the wobble? if they just need a damn good flush out and oil? or if they are shot to bits!? Sorry to hijack the thread a little :) and i'm prob...

Haha! i like fixes like that :) He's bringing it over so we (well, me) can give it a good service and once over so i'll check that first :) Many thanks Daz

Hello! Posting on behalf of a newly converted mate :) (still trying to get his computer skills up and running!!) Just brought a 2.4i with a sticky clutch pedal that wont fully return, notice they have recently replaced the bottom flexi hose to the cylinder so thinking air? i was going to bleed...

Hello, Thanks for extra pointers :) Just went to have a look and he brought it :) Got it for £850 and he's chuffed so...:) Turns out it had FSH up until 85k, no rust/rott, quiet on start up (got there early to make sure :)) Yes, did mean centre exhaust box. apart from that it had a wheel...

Very interesting :) Cheers guy's! I was thinking more like £850 but sounds like we'd better have a look around!!! Thanks again Daz

Hi Jim Thanks for quick reply! I forgot about Milner i'll have a look, ta. Good tip's for Rott, i'll make sure i have a dig about. Point noted on towing :) I was more concerned with the petrol engine after 112k on the clock and possibly a hard tow life? Many thanks Daz

Hello! Just wondered if anyone has any advice or what to watch out for? I'm going to look at a 'P' reg 2.4i SWB for my mate tommoz, Its got 112k on the clock, towbar so its obviously towed, 6months mot & tax, bodged repair to centre box. Advertised for £1,200. Any ideas on replacent box cost...

When I towed with the old Patrol it horsed along the flat no problem, but it did die quite badly on hills - so this time I would quite like something with a bit of go. One of the 3L Y61s put out 363 n/m @ 1800 rpm (I think) and the other 323 n/m @ 2000 rpm - both of which is way more than the...

Hello, Are you thinking of the newer GU 2.8 4cyl? the old GQ one is still a 6 cyl

Haha, nearly got him! Did notice that for the whole road before the roundabout he was cycling in the middle of the road! Haha! love it! - http://www.youtube.com/user/BadSwindoomRoadUsers#p/u/37/M5oTCUweBH0 He's cycling in a bus lane with a cycle lane empty next to it and he still thinks he's...

Hello, Good luck with the cctv thing :) fingers crossed an all that! Suprisingly there is hardly any difference at all statistically! Specs as follows - TD42 - 85kw @ 4,000rpm, 264nm @ 3200rpm RD28t - 85kw @ 4,400rpm, 235nm @ 2,400rpm So its a bit down on torque which is noticeable from a...

Hello, much the same as eveyone else but heres my 2 bob's worth :) I think you'll find most (Y60) have the rust bug:( yours must have been the exception (or an import) just make sure inner cills, inner wings and body mountings are good and the rear half of the chassis seem's to suffer worse...

Haha! Love it. That was some ego!
