Re: PD130 Oil Consumption
Almost certain that these type of engines DO use oil but not sure as to what amount over miles covered. Not sure where you got that information from, but I have to say in my experience it is wrong. I change my oil in my 130PD AVF engine every 5,000 miles and if it has used 1mm on the dipstick I wou...

Re: brake 'Clack'
Had a look at this, as mine is doing it too.... after a quick look at GSF it seems that the rubber top mount ( approx 11 quid ) has a bearing under it ( approx 13 quid ) is the click/clack the bearing ? or is it best to replace mount and bearing ? http://www.gsfcarparts.com/parts/steering-suspension...
