Years ago I remember an old guy telling when he bought new oil he immdeiately decanted it into a 5 litre pouring jug, then put the old drained oil into the new shiny oil container and left it outside his garage, every time it would disappear...

And they are surprised when it gets dumped in the nearest hedge.

I had already stuck 10 ltrs in there when he come and told me that the max was 5 litres, I then said well I have 4 cars and a boat so that is a total of 6 engines, he had a to think to breath then replied it is still 5 litres mate!

Mix it 1:4 with fresh diesel and run it in a tdi or any other old diesel! Mine is the same but last time they challenged my with a 25l drum of old oil, I continued emptying it while quoting and adding up the engine and gearbox quantities in the...

My local tip reckon 5 littes max waste oil!

It's about £25 and work well, comes with timing pins and crankshaft pulley.

You can get a tool off ebay quite cheaply that holds the injection pump drive sprocket in place whilst inj pump is removed.

Hi everyone, I just want to let everyone know that it was the crankshaft sensor!! Took a while to receive a genuine one and install but then the car is working perfectly fine!!! The only weird thing is that the radio has gone crazy. I dont know...

Well, I'm nearly 66 years of age and I had thought I'd got all this out of me and I could live a normal life. For nearly 20 years I've been addiction free and taking it 1 day at a time, every day has been another 1 day away from addiction. But...

And that steel plate won’t be too much of a drama!

Morning, thought I'd best introduce myself, been hanging round for a couple of months, but now I'm finally legally on the road in my D1........passed my test on Monday morning, sorted the insurance out and drove back to work. My names Gaz, I...

Maybe someone fitted new o ring and left old one in there.

Also worth noting that the TDV6 was used in lots and lots of vehicles. Loads of Land Rover products from a D3, thru FFRR, RRS, D5 and Velar. But it was also used in a whole heap of Jaguars too, as well as Ford's, Citroen's and Peugeot's. And is...

I read that they stroked the old 2.7 to make the 3.0, and this made the slightly dodgy crank even weaker. I can remember when the 3.0 was new and all the owners were saying sell your 2.7 as the new 3.0 as it is much better! I think the 3.0 in...

Hiya ppl , I ain’t been on for years now, As the tittle says I brought a rough running v8 90 3.9 efi . Ticked over nice but as soon as you revved it up it was spluttering dying coughing all over the place, kept losing pressure on the fpr...

TBH the TDV6 & SDV6 are not the strongest most reliable engine to start with, when you consider the crank snapping issues, I would think putting anymore stress on it would not be a good idea. J

I realise that, but people will take the psis and want it for 20 quid.

I think that is a 300tdi VE pump. O rings possibly the sme.

If that is an A127 alternator, it is three screws and a few minutes to drop in a new brush pack, I think newer A127 on 300 motors are different.

Double check connections ? With alternators the usual suspects are brushes and their contact rings, voltage regulator, and rectifier. How to check/repair alternators on you tube. This does mean removal and opening it up.
