Hi all. Been back since Friday. Checked each wheel and one of the rears wouldn't spin by hand. It was the dreaded build up between the caliper and the arm. I had already done the other side some months ago after i heard the wheel grinding against the caliper. For some reason there was no noticeable noise coming from this one. Just split it enough to get a blade between the two as the last one was a 'pig' after i got it off. All seams good now. Thanx to all for your help. Well done!

Its a 110. No smoke at all. Going Lanzarote in an hour so will do the checks you have advised and get back to you next week. Thanx for your valuable input

Hi John thanx for your reply. The engine has done 140K. Had the head skimmed and new valves at 110K. It seems fine performance wise. pulls ok and generally feels smooth. Went to work down the motorway and came back through town and on an A road. Put another £10 in this morning and came to work. needle doesn't seem to have moved as drastic as it did yesterday but I will know more when I get home tonight. I did notice the orange fuel light came on when I was going up a hill? I would imagine the gauge is on a float? I have noticed a gradual loss of mpg over the last 3 weeks or so

Hi all need your help! Over the last 3 weeks my 2:0 HDI has been gradually doing less mpg. Yesterday I got 36 miles from £10! Usually this gets me 70+. checked air filter and tried finding any air leaks from pipes etc. but not found anything. Can't find any fuel leaks either. Been trawling the forum and other places. Could it be my MAF sensor? Could it cause this drastic loss of mpg and how can I check it? Thanx for your anticipated help :)

Same happened to both my front handles. swapped them from the rear. Just had to cut away a thumbnail size bit of plastic with a Stanley knife. BE CAREFUL its tough plastic!
