It's always the way. GTA uses the same Bosch Maf as the smaller engined models and many Vauxhalls but is twice the price. Once you have the bosch number it's easier to find :rolleyes:. Not surprised LR do the same.

I've got a Britpart ac belt currently........ We'll see how long it lasts :D;) (wonders off to buy another....)

Bought a good second hand bonnet. Needs a fair bit of paint correction but no lacquer peel and then hopefully fit at the weekend.

Dog hair mainly when I got it. Dog hair under the seats, dog hair round the BECM. Dog hair under the dash. I stripped the whole car interior out when I got it to basically give it a deep clean.

Hadn't thought of that. Well either way it's getting fixed

Well that's just it. The way described looked like it damaged the spring tensioner. I replaced mine because from what I could tell 1 of the previous owners had used this method and smashed it to pieces. There was only half the bottom bolt hole left. I had been using this other method which...

I'm wondering if I can make up a special lever to take the tension off. It seems you are either leaning on the spring tensioner (my old one was smashed at both ends by previous removals from other people) of you lever the side other the bracket which puts a side load on it.

Answered my own question. Anyone got an arm kicking about before I order a new one?

So had a browse of parts. STC2126 STC2127 STC4608 This makes up the tensioner and guide. I see the main body has been superseeded so I guess it’s a common issue. Going to have a look at RAVE and find the tool to remove it.

I was changing the belts as it had started to squeak. Rebuilt and back together but I notice the main tensioner seems bent over. Its pulling the new belt off and into the tensioner bracket slightly. Could have been like this for a while. Checked the idler and the bolt. Both seem fine. Installed...

Already bought Delphi. Always seem good quality.

Anti EAS new thread device

Ah ok the basic, basic stuff. Yes this would be done.

Ta. I assume you mean wind both parts all the way in and then wind out to adjust and keep even?

Oh and while I’m here STC4455_DAY for the sepentine belt?

Just checking QFS000010_DEL is the correct number. 1995 P38 2.5 DSE manual. Discovered boot had split when freeing off at weekend.

Busy busy

I do like what you've done. :D

Well all seems fine. Even the window set has come back.

Yes mate I would assume so as I've never touched it. The alternator mod has been on my list for a while now you've jogged my memory
