I think there is a down load in the tech archive but if you are stuck for a copy I can do a CD for the cost of postage. It's a bit of a pain with he customs declaration and you may get stung for duty so it's a last resort.

PM me with your details and I will see if the old computer will produce a CD. It will come with the EAS unlock suite and my airbag replacement guide.

In the conversation section, click start conversation and search for Datatek. 👍

PM sent Datatek, or 'conversation' is it? I'm unsure how to actually PM sorry.. Titch

Outside handle attaches to green clip. Inside handle attaches to the lever circled in blue. Both of them operate the same metal lever, so the problem is likely to be one of these attachment points. About 6:30 into the video below shows the...

A true point☝️

Yes I would too. But if you are stuck and dont have them/anywhere to do it. its a risk, how much of a risk only the person looking can decide. J

Although very helpful kiddo, this image doesn't relate to his engine. 🫣

this is of more use my mate👍 Just to give you an idea of where to look. The later m51 had three sensors, the one closest to the bulkhead is the last minute sensor when it puts the fans on... Normally too late late at that point. The earlier...

Your running a diesel? 🤔

The sensor for the gauge is separate from the one for the EDC, if the gauge is in the middle, then the temperature is above 80C. I can never remember but I think the sensor between cylinders 3 & 4 is for the EDC and the sensor between 1 & 2 is...

I'd change em'.. The risk of one letting go and damaging something in it's path isn't worth the possibility of extra expense. 👍

We drove to corfu last year and got a " reduced performance" warning, the code was for an exhaust temp sensor. cleared it and it got us there and back, hasnt reappeared since;). So if its cleared by cycling the ignition I wouldnt worry to...

+1. Unlikely to corrode so should be fine.

I am looking for an early air con pipe it’s JUF000210 pump to condeser if anyone has one spare…….National debt new !!!

Thanks mate, premier supply has a condenser at reasonable price but it seems to be screw threads in both ports

Pipes from a breaker may be your best bet.

Gullibility is rampant IMO, which is golden for marketing dreaming up the latest 'must have' gadget for those who value cup-holders over reliability.

Both accessory belts are consumables and can't be "sealed for life" items👍 The restricted performance can one of many issues due to cracked plastics on the inlet/turbo side, jamming air direction valves if dual turbos, sticking turbo vanes...

Overcoming 'fiddly' can be lucrative. My one-time indie worked out ways of accomplishing certain tasks that officially required the body lifting. He was not only inventive but had small hands .. true he went through a good few sticky plasters...

Disconnect each wire on the plugs and do a resistance check on each glowplug, they should be between 0.9 ohm and 1.2 ohm. Any one or two plugs different, change them all for beru or bosch. 👍 Also cycle the key and check for voltage at one of the...

My injectors are original on a 1995 and past 180k miles. Didn't look bad when I had them out last year.

Are there any extra fittings in your existing compressor or valve block, that are not standard. The T piece in the end is so the olive doesn’t collapse the pipe when tightened, it’s a little sleeve that goes in. But that’s not standard if I...

I will give it another try after dinner, but mine look to have a t shape insert with an olive “like” around… Guess i could try to burn the tube to get it out… as any sort of cutters or prying tools will definitely score, scratch or ruin the fitting

I use the original blue pipe and olives.

I was able to remove an olive from the blue tube with care,

nope the clamp near the cat has rotted off and the muffler nearly fell off. ;)

Made a slight mod to the exhaust. gives a nice a rumble now

As above 2 belts 1 like an anocoda in length and route and then a small belt just for the fan. the water pump is driven from the long belt. The small belt is as said abit of a strech to get on as has no tensioner. The manual really doesnt give...

Normally black on start up, it'll chug a little then run properly. Normally when one or two glow plugs go down it'll be a long crank to get it fire up🫣
