C’mon guys - I leave you alone for 1 day and nobody ignores this thread? You’re letting me down. You’re letting the forum down. But most of all, you’re letting yourselves down 🤪 Please try harder to ignore this properly.

Alternator and water pump has been changed a while a go along with the thermostat and radiator Are the body and engine ECUs plug and play or do you have to program them to chassis?

Ok thanks a lot

I know it's a long time since this was posted. The wet belt system was designed for longevity. fewer belt changes meant lower running costs. However the issue arrises when someone uses the wrong oil. many garages just use any old semi synth or...

Thanks so much to all of you. This is very encouraging. Just about to start another session of night shifts at work so will be contacting him next week while this key still functions!!

Yes, changing both front and rear diffs, as I explained in my initial question that created this monstrosity of a thread. I also looked at changing the secondary gears inside the transfer case, but there is nothing available for my rare NV225...

I’d be changing the stub axle seals as the oil that’s dripping looks like ep90

In the second picture there looks like there is some corrosion on the gasket around the water port which could be enough for it to seep out.

Brakes crap , MOT next week, new disks and pads.

If they had stated To British Gas P9 procedure, I know a few guys who could...

There are a number of 'common' leak points on an LT230 transfer box. They are all relatively easy to fix with the intermediate shaft being the most time consuming and requiring the box to be off the car. It really needs a good pressure...

If that is your only issue with a 20 year plus truck you are very lucky. Only a thorough clean up will disclose the exact cause of the leak. Also I think the oil has a red hue which says main box oil. Anyway it will be basic fix of gasket or...

The TD5 engine should be fine, you might take ancillary items such as an alternator and water pump. Oh and a spare ECU as they are now starting to fail without warning and you won't repair that at the side of the road.

Did mine two years ago, it was much worse than that. The whole bottom rail gone as well as some of vertical ones. Did fix it in the end but a lot more faff than doing a front door. Looking back a new door would have been better despite the cost...

He can either clone or use the data to make a matching key with different key number. Had a long chat with him about it a while back. Hence 4 options on the website.

I did say "usually" the universal get out!! As you know from anuvva fred I'll be getting more fancier soldering gear soon to mend 8 thermostats, so I'll have no excuse then.
