You’d have to look at the bits of the forum where the proper landies wot don’t leak and rust are… 😉 New subframe in yesterday…

Me new rear driveshafts have arrived for the F2. Back end will all be new and shiny - well, for a couple of days at least.

Well, the cigarette lighter thing might work ok

TD4 has 2 fuel pumps, a low pressure one (LP) and a high pressure one (HPFP). The LP delivers the fuel to the HPFP. The HPFP then does what it says on the tin, and delivers the fuel via the rail to the injectors at extremely high pressure. The LP pumps behind the r/o/s wheel arch are known for...

…cos a tratter would allow too much wet in, thus rendering the thing unable to start nothing more than rot 😁

Well, I have the new subframe in and torqued up on the F2. Gave that a nice coating of wax spray also. Leaving that to dry now, while I wait for the Haldex ecm to return. Last balancing act lift will see the diff/haldex going back in later in the week.

Looks from your other posts to be a TD4? You shouldn’t need to touch the accelerator to start it. Could well be the camshaft sensor, they can cause starting issues, especially when the engine is warm. Could be slow fuel delivery on the LP side? Have you checked for codes.

Well, I’m up. Dog fed. 2nd coffee on the go. Just thinking through my plans for the day… starting the re-install of new shiny bits on the back-end of the F2. Popped out yesterday to collect a parcel in the F1 - not used it for a month. Started on the flick of the key and was a joy to drive.

Not a big concern on the prop cv joint - looks like when the cap popped at one end it allowed a bit of grease to get between the mating surfaces. Clamped it closed again today and grease has stopped - I’m sure the bolts will close it when it goes back on. It only lost a few ml’s, so no worries...

Got the rear sub frame out. Along with the driveshafts, diff, Haldex, suspension arms, AR bar, drop links… there is an awful lot of ‘nothing’ under the back at the moment. ‘Tis a tough job on a drive. Haldex ecm posted away today for the scrabble mod. Now trying to establish if I’ve got a...

Started the long job of switching the rear sub frame on the F2…

I’ve too decided that, if I’m in my F1, I will now wave or flash at every F1 I pass. It’s the right thing to do.

That’s the one! In fact - @xDParis64 , have a word with mudinuri, the author of the post mentioned above. He might have one too many now, and is in your neck of the woods (so to speak)

There are a few on the Bay, 70 squids and upwards. None in SE, but might send courier…?

Oh dear. There were a few mentioned on here recently, when another member was looking.

What?

Being power hungry, ordered a nice new battery for the F2, ready for winter. Placed the order on Sunday evening… arrived today. Free delivery, excellent packaging and a great price. Saved over £40 on the halfrauds price...

Driveshafts?

But your F1 will love you even more

So sad.
