After much searching and some useful threads here, I retarded the timing slightly using an 8mm pin. Knocking gone and drives lovely

Took out middle seat access cover and drivers floor and with a bit of acrobatics, unscrewed it and reset it. Works fine. I think I had it in too far and it wasn't letting me select diff.

Shouldn't make any difference should it. One live and one earth, with a connecting switch in middle.

Looked at all threads on this but not quite found anything to answer. Recently changed diff lock light switch. Engine was out so checked it was earthing through when activated (Lever to left) and it was. Now its all back together the light comes on when diff lever to right (and diff lock is...

200 tdi. Am OK with flywheel/locking pin pin timing but need to go back to basics so can someone talk me through timing the injection pump, assuming sprocket and pump has been removed please?

I think it may be diesel injector knock, will try and diagnose a bit more. Not sure why it should be though

Should have said, it's a 200 tdi

Had full engine overhaul (rebore, pistons, rings, head etc) plus recon injectors (new nozzles). Whilst out fitted straight through middle section so now only one silencer box. Runs wells but seems to be very noisy! Have adjusted tappets, twice and it is all timed fine. Seems to be a slight...

Resurrecting this one. i see there are two types of Hylomar black, one with and one without the acetic stuff. They are 102 or 302, so I guess one is setting and one not? Which is best for sealing ladder frame to block please?

Try a thorough bleed first

Where did you get your pod??

Yes but on mine the end of it does not "go over" the nipple, it presses against it. Quite often the width of your end which goes over the outside of the nipple is what stops you getting it in, so to speak!

II use and old fashioned push fit grease gun that does not actually go around the nipple but pushes against it, works fine. Loads on flea bay for about £6

41p metre for thin wall 25 amp from these very helpful Guys! Welcome to Auto Electric Supplies

Ok thanks. Am running up the inside of the cab behind the trim section to left of windscreen. (No snorkel) so will need to get it thin!

Thanks Redhan but I thought I was! So..I do have each pair wired to a 30 amp relay, I do have a 20 amp fuse between battery and relay (but someone earlier said that was too high rating!). Then the point of dispute is I have from each relay one 17 amp wire to power two spotlights. This means I...

It is 17 amp rating and the draw will be 16.6. Is that not enough leeway??

OK thanks, and re the fuses each relay has its own separate 20 amp fuse. So should I use a 15 (which is less than the max draw??)

20 amp. OK?

Thanks for your help but to stop you guys arguing! I have two 30 amp relays, each supplied separately from battery and individually fused. They are activated together by the switch by joining one of the relay terminals. Each relay then has its own 17 amp lead from which I intend to power two...
