What issues are you having? not that i know the first thing about diesels.

I would suspect that would be a similar distance as from Cardiff.

Took it for a drive today and it didn't get hot or anything mayo seems reduced in the filler cap but to me the power at low range (below 3000) revs is low.I would have thought a 2.5 to be faster.just feels sluggish.could that be the gasket or something else perhaps?

I seem to remember that mine was not that sprightly at low revs before I had it chipped. :y
