:eek:.... TDI T2 has started to make a rattle/knocking noise on tick over when up to working temp :(:(:( Started yesterday.... checked the oil, all ok... noise goes as soon as the clutch is depressed so.... my thoughts are big ends or main bearings, maybe the clutch or gearbox bearing? Was...

2500=3000 rpm is best, about 28-30 mpg on a run regularly...strangely when fully loaded with 5 aduklts and luggage it still does the same mpg :thumb2 mine is a 2002 diesel

Tesco also sell 5ltr containers of veggie oil for less than £5.... use it quite a lot but tend to do straight diesel atm due to the cold?. I do 2=300 miles a week commuting (yes I do use a motorbike in the summer :thumb2) so every few quid a refill is always welcome!!

Pics please.... been wanting to do this for a while as imo the trucks need high level sidelights.... how did you do it?? :thumb2

Nightbreakers..... absolutely!!! Huge difference :thumb2

Have you checked all the earth connections? I had huge problems last year with my wipers and washers doing odd things (no delay wipe/no flick return but would go if you held the switch up/no front washers and would not switch off once going), changed the switch and moter to find it was an...

I am in a similar position. Have been looking on and off for about 9 months for a later rear light but no luck. Am now seriously thinking of fitting earlier ones on my TDI. Just think it will look odd?

I know this has been debated many times (have looked about on the forum but cant find the answer I want) but how do I go about getting a new key for my 2002 T2 (its the all in 1 with alarm/locking on it) without the expense of going to Nissan and paying £140? It is now very worn and thin bladed...

runs lumpy on start at 50/50 so was worried about it clogging up??? Soon evens out and runs like a dream otherwise.... not a lot of saving per tank I agree :nenau however when its 40p a ltr cheaper than diesel it saves me about £10 a fill so is a small saving...... cant seem to find any bio near...

So........... does anyone know if there is a bio supplier in the south essex area? Also whats the best thing to add to a 40/60 svo/diesel mix to help during the winter? Obviously anything too expensive as an addative makes the use of svo pointless as it then costs more than diesel :nenau:nenau...

check the earth connection going to the plug on the wiper motor... I had a similar fault, wipers not turning off and had to hold the lever in the flick wipe position to get them to work! Spent a fortune on a new motor and switch but yurned out to be the earth as the motor is rubber mounted and...

Also check inside the car on the bulkhead where the push rod comes in to the clutch pedal. The seals in the clutch master cylinder and the fluid can leak past the seal and run down the bulkhead behind the carpet :eek: takes ages for a wet patch to appear on the carpet and fluid seems to just...

Just do what the bloke who hit my car whilst it was parked did..... dont report to your insurance company and when a claim is made by the other party (me) they just refuse to accept the accident happened !!!! Mind you my claim was £1500 worth of damage :( Nearly 2 years and persued through the...

Lada Niva.... great little 4x4's. Have had 2 to date, once all the 'niggles' are sorted out they run a treat :thumb2 bit hard on mpg and every spare part cost about a tenner !!!! very good in the snow but rusted like mad :(

We lost our last little doggie very suddenly aged 8 years old earlier this year... really knocked us for a six. Life and house was just too empty for us both without him so after a few months we decided to get a new puppy who was 9 weeks old (now 6 months old), he is a cross scottie/poodle :clap...

Always had a similar (but luckily smaller) dent in my n/s sill by the front door.... no idea how it got there as no damage to the side step etc... Not being very good with bodywork I always planned to remove the plastic kick plate sill cover and make a big enough slot/hole to be able to get a...

Am I missing something here? I for one do not have ECUtalk/consult or any other fancy programme and laptop to run it on so would have to rely on the workshop manual and a voltmeter also...... so is there a good cheap (not involving expensive pc's & programmes) way we ordinary 'diy'ers can check...

Very recently changed mine with ones from Milner (bought within the last month), cannot remember what they looked like :doh but were certainly the same length! I will check when I get home and post later... not sure about a pic as I have never done that:nenau:nenau. Remember they were a bugger...

a couple of mine are the same... previous owner had really butchered them (indicator and side light) about.... so I have resoldered new wires to the pins as the previous owner has cut all the bulb holders apart :eek::eek: to find the break in the wire... looks like they corrode inside the...

probably the pump, quite a common problem on these. Did mine earlier in the year and not too bad a job (work or cost wise). If you are loosing water then there may well be an air lock in the cooling system causing the high reading? Also worth checking the connections for the heater where they...
