I had exactly the same problem and all mine was very low on fluid,stupid place to put it under the battery tray which must be removed to top up.

Have to agree but today many think that noise equals power.

Popcorn.

If any car now was made originally with a cat then they cat should be present when having a MOT.

Have to agree 100% fuel economy is mainly down to the right foot, all this posh sounding name fuel and additives are mainly fantasy island placebo effect.

Its all in your head.

Have to agree bigger brakes on the rear of any car not really necessary as its the front that does most of the work.

Why anyone would want a diesel exhaust to sound louder defeats me, does making it sound louder make it faster perhaps you should try some go faster stripes as well.

Just use any quality oil the 5w40 more a cold winter oil,for the UK 10W40 will be fine I have been using the Euro Parts brand of semi synthetic for many years in wifes car very good oil at a great price.

Try swapping the tyres around I had a problem like that once it was a slightly oval tyre.

Could be something simple like coolant level or even a faulty sender.

Have to agree but in many of today's thinking bigger more noise etc make the car faster,but some more knowledgeable know this is not always the fact,but with some its more of the placebo effect .

Famous last words.

Myself would stick to the normal stock filter that's fine,cannot see any point in any other unless you want noise.

I used the Quixx restoration kit just £10 of Ebay on the Wifes 2001 MPI they were real bad done a great job they look now almost new.

Your battery should have about 14.5-15 volts going into it when the engine is running and the alternator functioning normally with engine stopped battery should show around 12.6V.

Simple solution remove the spacers if then no bearing failure then that's your problem if bearing still fails then its either bad fitting or poor quality bearings or a hub problem.

The 505.00 is the older diesel engine spec,since introduction of 505.01 main difference its a more modern day multi-role petrol and diesel spec oil.The 505.01 generation gives a small level of improved engine cleanliness,and possible and wear control over 505.00 but would doubt if 505.00 would cause any harm to any regular maintained engine.

Like others have said will not fit and if they could no real benefit in fitting the VRS discs.

Very sorry to hear of your misfortune with Mr Clutch like others had said be firm but positive if you are a member of the RAC etc perhaps get them to make a report.If the job was done correctly there is no way the bolts would have failed and the drive shaft come out. Poor workmanship with the fitter and Mr Clutch has quite a bad service report on the net. But like everything the job is only as good as what the person is doing it lets hope you get a good result.

This is the UK.
