My mech will be in hand re the manifold so thinking of giving a go....will report back.....will clean the butterfly element at the weekend only and see how it goes....the actuator has been checked and appears to operate ok...but understood it may be weak. Re the smoke I think the idea is that...

Noticing a bit of smoke this am so BG244 doing its work! Any thoughts on removing the fuel rail and inlet manifold from anyone?

Really loving this forum....so much priceless information, and helpful members! I have had some issues with the car revs dropping and rising when cruising which I have isolated to the IMRC. Diagnosis show this is working so I am planning to give the flaps a really good clean at the weekend to...

Thanks Jon, Just wondered if the pipe was more rigid and better sealed would more of the boost reach the engine? Regards Simon

Hi guys, Just curious whether there is any benefits to be gain here with after market hoses on a cdti? Cheers Simon

Did you use any oil additives? Some people say this can help....tbh the oil in mine isn't clear for long....

Ok so drove to Duxford today and can confirm that disconnecting the IMRC has resolved the hunting issue, resolved hesitation and given me more power....nice

Decision made then

A massive thanks for this....had a few irritating issues with the car lately...and beginning to feel a little fed up with it! On my way back from hols noticed the car hunting revs at cruising speeds on the motor way, really disconcerting! Then got the engine fault light.....read by my friendly...

Three hours this evening and front end all sorted including tracking.....so all should be well for now...not too tough a job to be honest as long as you have the right tools. Plenty of penetrating oil on all the nuts and bolts before is a real must...had to drop the damper to make room for the...

Noticed a squeak from front end drivers side....took along to my friendly tech and diagnosed failed front lower wish bone compliance bush and upper wish bone ball joint....already replaced lower wishbone on passenger side.... Gone for Honda bush only this time and a Blueprint upper wishbone...

Could be blocked jets....try disconnecting them and then running the pump.....

DAS Pro perfect for our soft paint...if you are doing a lot of cars the gloves are probably a good idea Silverline quite heavy....rotary tends to warm paint up more than DA which can make our paint sticky and hard to polish.... Rupes expensive....Flex 3401 forced rotation great polisher, but...

No rust on mine.....tbh I would never buy a car that lived by the sea......

Looks nice...shame only half leather...have wheels been refurbed....the epsilons where diamond cut as oem....no good for UK weather....has the car had a new clutch/dmf?

Sounds like you might need any other mechanic....could be upper wishbone ball joint or any of the other bushes....however I would have hoped that he would have been able to get a bar in and find the joint with excessive play pretty quickly? I noticed a little play in the steering from the upper...

Brilliant news!

Have you got a spare fob? Does the led flash on that? Be careful opening up the fob the screw can be tricky. Out of interest does the central locking work on the switch in the car?

Just a thought but has the battery run flat in the key fob? Does the led flash when a button is operated? Have you got a spare fob you can try? Did they disconnect battery? Systems take a while to reset if they did?
