I don't see why it wouldn't be. The cups were flush with the circlips after the installation.

You can always file a bit off the BDL if you loose power top end

Use your nanocom to watch the voltages of the brake pedal when pressing it/driving, if your foot is constant and the voltage is sporadic and the symptoms happen then it’s the brake pedal.

2001 TD5 I had years ago, the throttle pedal tracks wore out on one side. New to me 2nd hand pedal assy sorted it.

So she’s an L322 4.4 v8 petrol with the bmw engine. Back story as it maybe relevant, she was sat on a relatives drive way for 18 months until I inherited it. Tons of work done on last MOT and passed with no advisories and full service. Ran fine...

On such converted vehicles nothing is strange and hard to diagnose cos the diagrams dont match anymore and depends very much how big of a specialist was who worked on it. Was a manual ECU fitted after the mechanical conversion? Record "inputs...

As mentioned no battery set up on the 2005 car but 40 days without use will kill it stone dead. You mite get away with 3 weeks even then special programmes will be off until it reached full charge. Disconnect the battery next time and lock it...

Are you sure you got the UJ centred between the cups ?

So hammering it did not help, but luckily after driving it around for a while and especially on a very bumpy road, the vibration seems to be almost gone.

I think it is the latter of the two. I think I will pull the "custom needle" and put a standard BDL in there.

I’m watching this with interest 😁

On the last pic you can see the original colour blue I took all the paint off down to steel , then primed and coloured , mine is an 84 series 3 and had the blue as original on my pastel green landy

Did you buy a new reservoir? There is a small filter fitted in it - if it’s not been changed for a good time, it’s worth switching it for a new one when you change the fluid.

It's not the plugs, it's either burning oil or tooooo rich

Could use two and rig up a connecting leverage type device, did this once with a handbrake cable

Flush it through well with the good stuff…

I didn't even get the jump leads off before she shut off. realized now that the soot was in fact oil and think it's coming from the crankcase breather. I'll see if I can track down a nanocom to see what she says. thanks for the advice. im...

So when the button is pressed on 5he switch pack is there a live present at the window motor plug? 🤔

Dear Landyzoners, can anyone advise on this? I need a looong throttle cable for my particular application. Euro-spec RRC with 2.5 VM currently converting LHD to RHD. I need an overall length of at least 60" end to end. I have seen some...

... that the wife just got a call from the hospital. Her Mum (who they gave a GA to yesterday to work on her leg) is now today going downhill fast and she had better get there ASAP. Not looking good at all.

But the switch to BP5ES plugs has not resolved the sooting up problem. Which means it is probably running too rich for them too.

Yes, I used a map gas torch. :)

In my 1998 Discovery 2 TD5 (auto-to-manual converted), I’ve encountered some strange behavior from the accelerator pedal. Sometimes it works normally, but other times it cuts throttle down to about 20% and then returns to normal. The last time it...

With nanocom in engine ECU inputs:

so this is part of the accelerator pedal right? is there any way i can test if this is my problem without getting the pedal apart?

Filled the tank today.. 66.62ltrs, tanks trip said 325mi. Dash said 33.5mpg, the maths doesn’t agree. 22.2 😂

Was the oil filter canister silver?

Wow, I really like the blue. I thought maybe it was to match the engine color or the body color. I'm really going to think about the finish produce...be traditional or more creative. Thanks to all

i had this but i have gone back to the original Bosch maf and now all is good i ha vr done a lot and i mean a lot of reading and the Bosch is the one to have fitted

Thought best starting a new one as different topic. 😊
