Just measure and buy suitable size aluminium or copper washers.

No I don't think we know as certainly I have never seen a Lucas. It may be identical to a Denso ? Check the low current supply before removing starter motor. May be a simple connection.

Pleased with my HIFLYs on my sport. See my dedicated thread for wear profiles as and when I post it.

Sounds good. Don't go General Grabber unless you want to find out about 4 wheel understeer in the wet !!

Big brother is indeed the correct term. We are all watching with interest !!😀

Good stuff. Well done for staying the course. Oil flush is a good idea. Engine had stood around for a while!! IRD 1.1 Litres 75/90 Gearbox 2.0 Litres MTF 94

Oo err 😂

If no sound when key turned to crank engine then most likely no power is reaching the starter on the low current lead. If the contacts are worn in the starter it usually clicks and won't crank. See if you can find the thin wire to the starter, usually.on a spade connector and remove it to test...

Glad that's clarified. Was confusing me somewhat was that FL1 / 2 issue !!

Used it to move a lathe and boxes of tools and accessories. Going to photo and sell for widow of good friend who sadly won't need it anymore 😔 If anyone wants a bargain and can collect from North Devon. Warco BH600 Lathe. Pm me. Listed on ebay for next to nowt.

Glad you got there ! Be simpler next time !

Dunno about FL2 but BMW M47 is Deffo a NO No !!

Never use impact wrench on TD4 as you will fracture the cast iron crankshaft. Tool is the answer. Buy a good one or it bends !!!

A 15/16 inch ring spanner is a better fit than 24mm. They are cheap and turn up at junk tool sales. Well worth having an old one handy. You can weld an extension on, or just slip a pipe on it as I do.

You need to stop the bolt from turning. The link I posted, above, says the back nut is a reverse thread. If that is tight then the 24mm will release the tension when turned.

That's what I thought. Maybe change them then. The top mount rubber was rotating in the metal plate. Awful squeeking noise. Not the poly bushes as I thought. Put on ramp and obvious when in the air !!

Leave the lock barrel as it is and refit to allow use of old key if needed.

It is just out of sight behind the chassis rail.

That photo is a different car ! The PAS is not at the bottom!! This is correct. Middle pulley on left with 24mm bolt head.

Yes it is ! Change the door lock with solenoids complete within it.
