Thanks for the input.

I went today to a near supplier who I can't really beat for price, picked up some Millers 7625. That's fully synthetic 5w40, A3/B3. Interested to see how a 5w40 goes.

Getting to that time when I need to replace the engine oil (TD5).

I've run a fully syn 5w30 ACEA A5/B5 spec for the last while but it seems to be one of those oils with fuel economy in mind, theref ...

Hi

My Td5 90 (2006 reg, 33k miles on it) has been making a few irritating sounds, I'm trying to figure out what's causing them.

Thanks geobloke.

The previous owner had the vehicle since 2012 and was an older gent who used it sparingly as a second vehicle.

Shocked

This actually makes me sick. Makes a mockery out of the normal enthusiast whose vehicle would be nearly as good but would ask about 10 times less for it.

Even has one of those awful loo ...
