I was about to say "not an uncommon problem with petrol powered cars" then saw the post by DG!

Damn. It is the only way I can persuade SWMBO that diesel is good.

Diesel, despite what our politicians say, is the only sustainable, clean and emitting engine ca. 30% less CO2.
Besides being much more enjoyable for its low-speed torque

Surprised nobody’s mentioned the possibility of stripping it...I mean that one wheel looks rather ok, doesn’t it? Whistle

Is it me or has the rear of the D5 gone up first? Was it something being towed that has gone up or an electrical issue?

V8 Defender's from the 90's had a fire possibility due to a fuel hose to close for comfort in the engine bay.

Of course you haven't ......it's all the other poor sods on the road that have to look & think about it, whilst you sit all smug in your "superior D5" completely in denial about your obnoxious rear end. Wink
Enjoy. Thumbs Up

Btw, for what reason do you still have a D4 in your avatar section when you don't appear to own one, or do you indeed still have one and it's that good you can't bear parting with it "just in case". Confused

I'm sure the truth is that there isn't a D5 profile pic available and while some might have removed there old D4's others might not have felt it that impotent Whistle Wink Laughing
