Cheers for the reply matey, My 3.0d sport auto 2004 had the tire pressure message popped up 4 times and in all cases but one it was cos of a nail in the tire, it did it once for no reason but checked tires and they were fine, so there are some unexplained phenomena on these cars.

My turbo also seemed to go flat, lost the mass of power the car had, nearly got ripped off big time by the locals here (leave it in for a day or two) but the fix was so simple when I took it to a mechanic friend of my wife’s uncle! Look for the post solution to my sluggish 3.0d sport</SPAN> got pics there too.

Have a slight issue with mystery coolant loss and I am still monitoring that.

The usual ‘issue’ of rear wheels looking slanted inwards slightly at the top as you look at the rear of the car, found out this was normal and is the negative camber, basically meant the inside of my tires wore more as this was the surface that was in contact with the tarmac, and so had some of the camber ‘taken out’ so as contact is made with the rest of the surface area (been told no harm done to the car after reading heaps of posts, and no harm done to my wallet either as will prolong tire life).

Do get the mystery creaking noise in the back, not looked at that yet.

And get clunking noises from the front when going of uneven road surfaces, been told on the forums it is the sway bars, but haven’t had it checked out yet, and no idea if it is dangerous either.

Be great to get a diesel forum going, ok cheers fella
