| Obviously we can't see the car but I would tend to echo Hozza's view. The subframe is a fairly hefty bit of kit and although mine did have surface rust it was nowhere near enough to affect structural ... |

Since doing the boots I have done about 1200 miles mainly motorway and not had the burining oil smell. So yesterday I did the transmis ... |

Just did this today and replaced the Varta 019 (which I don't think is the original) with a Bosch S5 019 AGM.

| Just did the filter and oil change on mine this afternoon as it had started to feel just a little harsh. (90,000 miles). Very similar to when I did it on my BMW 740 with the ZF5 speed, you could feel ... |

No worries Bushy, I will put you down for them. If it helps I am in Kings Langley in Hertforshire on Wednesday and could bring them with me?
Cheers,

These are the OE eyes/bars that you remove when fitting a towbar. They came off my '06 TD6 so am thinking they will fit up to '10MY?
Anyway, going in the scrap pile so free if anyone wants them, us ... |

Good tip Mike - I will try that.
I think it is probably a hose rather than the CSOV as it is now happening at low revs. Had to nurse it back round the M25 last night as it was OK at 70 if on light ... |

Awesome, thanks Graeme, just ordered some up so I can fit over the weekend. Even if it isn't the boots leaking the FF has done 90k now so going to go soon anyway 
Cheers,
