No never saw it but had it replaced again WITH a new sprocket and fingers crossed it's still going strong!

Has anybody got a link for a set of Tourer rear anti roll bar bushes? The ones my local car shop got for me were far too small and he is struggling to find anything larger. 22.2 is stamped on the current ones so I presume that’s the internal diameter.

Yeah squirting wd40 inside the subframe and working the bolts slowly in and out by hand.

Well would have done if the ones I had been given were the right size !! They were far too small. Judging by how difficult the bolts were to get out wthout snapping then I presume they have never been off in 16 years !

Fitting new anti roll bar rubbers later so lets see if that changes anything !

Already done both rear drop links but not the rubbers

I've used nylock nuts on many ball joints in the past, including my current Honda, and never had an issue

No still living with it! Passed through at least two MOTs with it so pretty confident it's not suspension!

NO ! 0w30 will provide better protection at startup

An i-cdti should not have a DPF and so you want an A5/B5

I did the maths a few years ago based on the price difference between standard and premium and the 3mpg benefit I was seeing and numbers were pretty close but I think the price gap has increased now!

Trust me the additive packs in diesel are very complex and companies spend millions formulating and testing them so no I don't think you can create your own and boosting the cetane level is only a very small portion of the benefits they give. The additive levels are measured in parts per...

Base fuel will all be the same for an area (there are 5 refineries that supply the whole UK) but each brand will have their own additive pack added to the fuel, usually at the point of dispensing into the tanker, and it's this additive pack that provides the differences and the benefits. "I...

You need somebody who can remap your ECU. Where are you?

I've done exactly what is recommended and the car has never run better !

All diesel fuel contain additives to combat a large amount of issues, some of which is keeping the fuelling system clean. High quality diesel will contain either a higher concentration of additives or higher quality additives and will provide better protection for your engine and a cleaner...
