Post: RE: Manual Steering Rack

Sorry Ant0ny, I hadn't spotted that you where outside the UK. The UK MOT seems to be becoming very picky on certain things and drivers of older vehicles are going to have problems in the future when ...

Just to update. Things aren't looking promising. The garage seem to think the cylinder head gasket has gone and I think he said the block may have become porous. Given the mileage it has on it it m...

I don't know, but as a guess it could be a drain tube from the fuel filter. My 1.6 HDi has a rubber tube attached to the drain outlet on the bottom of the filter that just hangs loose in the engine b...
