There is an OEM one on ebay for around 32 quid Please keep me posted how you do with your idea

My radio, a standard unit, gets good reception on FM, but nowt but static on AM My mechanic suggested I try one of those cheapie interior aerials off ebay, to see if that would fix the problem.I have a 2003 tdi elegance What do people think of this suggestion ?

Two ball joints and an off side brake cable, and the mot is passed, £150 all together, including the ticket - back of the net!

We all make mistakes, but when a mechanic makes a mistake, it could be lethal !

Many thanks, gearchange has become slightly notchy, so hoping a change may work wonders

5 speed box

Please tell me the gearbox (transmission) oil capacity for my car Cheers, Steve

Always use the cheapest fuel, always been happy with it

Get a cheap one that fits; always done this on numerous diesels, never had any bother

That's a real shame, just checked the distance on route planner, it's 520 odd miles return trip, yikes ! Cost a fortune in fuel !

Many thanks for the reply, but he is a quite a distance away in Worcester

I fancy getting cruise control retro fitted to my Octy 2003 tdi ( 110 ) Anyone know where this could be done at a reasonable price in the north east ?

Tried ebay ?

What was the outcome

Use money.supermarket, always best for me.

money.supermarket is always best for me, or go through quidco, just got £51cashback off mine

Good luck with your new car, hope you enjoy it, we still have our mk1 110 tdi, on 172 k missus loves it, refuses to change it whenever I mention the possibility!

Car is fine; on snow tyres of course, put them on both of our vehicles, simply cannot understand people not using them.

Loads of positive write ups about adding 2 stroke to diesels, I do it in my 3 cars, Rover 75, Disco '96 and Octy 110hp 2003

Is the correct answer.

I have sympathy with the OP ,but it always amazes me when people buy cars for a lot of money, indeed thousands of pounds, and then mention how cheap the tax is ! In this case it was actually the deciding factor !

Had the same prob with mine, replaced the battery, and now starts first time, does not help that I have the thicker 10w40 oil in, instead of the 05w30

Brilliant mate, you have just saved me 24 quid the dealer was going to charge, the number was hidden inside the plastic thing.

I have gone from an old Pug 406 to a 2003 Octy, and the ride is far too firm for me; I am really not a happy pixie. I drive quite slowly, epecially around corners, and do not need a firm ride.
