Why does a TZD 1.9 have a steel bonnet and most of the rest have plastic? Is it to have more mass to attempt to quieten the engine noise down? Seems...
Last post
Getting back to the noise question, i believe the n/a is noisier, not because of the bonnet, the gearing is lower so its revving more at the same...
I'll get to the windows shortly!
Having bought a turbo-diesel estate a few months ago as a project, already running the GTI and 1.9 diesel, it turned...

This is just an idea. the only stuff I know of that bonds glass well are the little kits to re stick rear view mirrors (the ones that stick to the...
Asides a few articles from Mr Dollywobbler the BX does seem not get much press coverage. Its 30th anniversary came and went without a mention. Where...

The pressure regulator maintains the rail pressure at a fixed offset relative to the pressure in the intake manifold - hence the pipe connecting the...

Is this BS ? Although I have heard that old diesel goes bad which makes me wonder if I should dump what is left in the tank before I start it up...

That is interesting about Pantone. Yes I still have the (too old for accuracy they claim) book of swatches which cost about £105 in 86..... . In the...
