..... Too many items to list, but primarily a warning triangle, jump leads, light bulb kit, towrope, first-aid kit, spanners/compact socket kit and - I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet - a pair of fold-up wheel chocks so the car stays stable when you jack it up on a slight incline with...

That's my girl, Mary, YOU tell 'em! - Richard

Sorry, I'm not aware of any sources over here. www.towsure.co.uk - Richard

In the European brochures - about 1300 kg (100bhp PD Tdi). Over here I don't think it's quoted at all, and VWoA do not list a towbar as an accessory.

The only car I know which has the same size front doors on 2-door and 4-door versions is the Land Rover Discovery.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Think I've read somewhere that the same applies to the PT Cruiser..... - Richard

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Eh ????? .... Must have been registered in Ireland originally! Is the steering wheel in the centre? [ January 18, 2003, 11:35: Message edited by: chopchop ]

Mary's right, but this is a subject it's impossible to quote hard & fast rpm rules on. If you're going downhill, lower change-up revs are fine. Just do what "feels" right rev-wise. These TDi engines can and should to a certain extent be driven like petrol engines - unlike the older diesels...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Find a 6' tall guy like me driving a VW, and he's removed the middle rear headrest, too, Mary! Couldn't see safely out of the back with the thing there, and visibility from the Golf isn't too brilliant anyway, compared with my Discovery...

VF is right. That problem will rear its ugly head again. Replace the damaged cable. In the meantime, park the car with the handbrake off (& in gear) if safe to do so. Actually, the pads or shoes can rust on, even in the summer, if you leave the car parked for a few days after you've washed...

It's a job I'd never trust any dealer to do PROPERLY, anyway. Plenty of info round here, do a search...wait till tomorrow, when things here should be back to normal! - Richard

I was confused, too......., couldn't figure out how replacing the dampers made any difference to toe-in/toe-out..... Anyway, I now have a superb sliding plate unit- "Trakrite" - for alignment checking, for which you don't even need to know what the t-i/t-o figs are for a vehicle to use it...

Peugeot/Citroen is the same Company, or Group, at any rate, PSA. European Dealerships are still separate, though. - Richard

Re: factory fill oil for \'03 ti Interesting... So they're not using a diesel-specific oil any more, then...? Either that, or they're using an oil geared towards diesels in a petrol engine...? - Richard

"U.S. drivers also don't have any economic incentive to switch to diesel as they do in Europe, where diesel is taxed less and therefore 17 percent cheaper than gasoline." What a damnfool statement. The writer talks as if Europe is a COUNTRY. Apart from the fact that fuel in Europe is generally...
