Newsletter

Here is the new newsletter. Contains information on many models. Just for information really if anyone is interested

Cool - nice to see even the modern plodders aren't without their issues lol.

Try this link for the other letters.

First attempt at a dropbox link so don't shout if it does not work......

Most of the T5 stuff is in the first 10 issues really

The dropbox links worked fine for me (ot at least Bulletin 35 did). A lot of fantastic information there.

I'm now off to order some new rear pads and disc following comments that heavily worn rear pads can cause the caliper to seize when retracting into service mode.


p.s mods can we get these posts moved into the technical section so they do not get lost?

Very glad it's working. I have one of these every 12 weeks(ish) I will post them if the interest is large enough. I don't want to bore people with stuff or tell grandma how to suck eggs by posting information people have already seen.

The forum is awesome and I don't want to overpost information already here if you know what I mean..

Information is Power!

I would certainly appreciate you posting them (although I'm assuming if you put them in Dropbox, the link will automatically include any new additions). Whilst any software upgrades will be done during servicing, I have already seen articles on Rear brakes, which I mentioned above and cooling pipes for my model which I now know I need to look out for!

[insbruck1]

I will add the new ones as they arrive to the dropbox. Issues 36 has just been added yesterday.

I find this information fascinating and useful - the police will root out problems quicker than the general public. I'm interested in things like the coolant hose problem (split hose from oil cooler leads to coolant loss leads to hgf), etc

Please keep posting them!

I did offer the information on to the technical people in charge but no one got back to me. So I thought it easier to post them up instead. There are 36 issues so you do have to wade through to make some headway. I printed them off and bound them into 3 books. You can just browse through them at leisure then and pick out the parts that concern you most. Phase three cars do have huge issues with headgaskets on the force vehicles. They have changed them now for a improved version which seems to have cured the issue. But hoses are a problem so if you do have a phase 3 vehicle with a diesel motor please check them over as the newsletter says.
