So the monkey that owned my disco decided it would be a good idea to jam a large screwdriver between the door card and door In doing so damaged the door card and pulled all the top fixing seats off the door card are these available and what's the best adhesive to use.

If you want to do it yourself I recommend a Sealey ak5063 flaring tool I have done my D1 a mk3 golf and an Opel manta with this every flare was good and look at YouTube before using it.also make one of these to stop fluid loss

As most people are aware mot regs will change soon and many of us have removed the egr and will need to replace it i can find the the egr valve and the two bits of short hose on the top intake but not the braided hose or the pipe it fits onto.are they still available or is it fabrication time?.

Sounds like the torque converter.have you checked your atf for level and condition or the filter is clogged up might be worth changing not sure if you are aware but will have to drain and refill give it a good drive then drain and refill again as you will only get about 5 liters out each time.

Thanks for the info I have just fixed it with velcro

Located at the rear bottom of front seats Anyone know the part number for these?( silver/grey leather seats)

Crosland filters where owned by sogefi group better known as fram. name only now owned by euro car parts and source Thier filters from other manufacturers around the world and put it in a crosland box so quality is going to be an issue.so again the world is not what it seems

Find an socket which is just too small to fit and hammer it on 12 point sockets work best be warned socket will probably be trashed.check out you tube.

May get lucky and may only be the single wire connector that pulls off the back of the alternator this gives the rev counter it's signal and also battery light that's if it's not actually charging have you checked it with a volt meter?.

Carry a screwdriver with you or something conductive the next time it does it pop the bonnet and with ignition on put it across the large terminals on the starter relay (battery cable size) if it turns it's the starter relay playing up or the ignition switch check for 12v feed (when key is...

There was no sign of contact on the pistons and old injectors where used tried cracking off the injectors the noise remains can't hear it on the cylinder head or block but all injectors and pipes have the same clack even when cracked off beginning to think it's the IP that's making the noise

Right finally had time to have a better look top of no1 injector is the loudest by far no2 can still hear noise but softer.also very loud on the injection pump but think it's the knock from the injector vibrating back down the line.bad injector releasing too early or late pre ignition/detonation...

It's a 300tdi edc.had a valve cap break up myself in the pass not that sort of sound plus already checked when rechecked clearances.cylinder head was second hand skimmed and pressure tested so checked valve guides for wear again all ok.good thought on the camshaft didn't even consider that...

Tensioner seems fine as far as I can tell still need to use a breaker bar to lift it off the belt and really wouldn't like to have my finger in the way when released.i don't think it's a tension issue as would have squealed like a pig with water.

Ok thanks guys just ordered a gates belt see how it goes.dayco belts I'm told are fine but any slight misalignment will cause them to squeak will have to look into that one.
