Hi all. Just wanted to ask you very knowledgeable people for your advice with a starting problem. I have an early 4 door classic with the M51 diesel fitted. I have been having starting problems hot or cold. It takes about 10 seconds for it to fire. I have changed all six glowplugs and fitted a...

Hi all. Just thought that I'd throw this one at you very knowledgeable people on here. I have an early 4 door classic with the 2.5 M51 diesel fitted and I am having trouble getting it to start hot or cold. I have fitted 6 new glow plugs and also put a non-return valve on the fuel line after the...

Hi All.....Just wondering now that the TD5's are getting pretty old, how do owners rate them for reliability and Longevity. It is well known that the TDI's are some of the best diesel lumps ever made and have achieved 350,000+ miles without serious attention in fact, I think I remember reading...

Is that a king size Mars bar or a standard one?.......:D

Have to agree with you there darrenaroberts although, some of the two doors on car and classic are up for £27k plus :eek: The parts are also through the roof. I seen a pair of genuine bonnet mirrors on the bay last week with the bidding at £352 and there was 6 days left in the auction........

I've got a 1973 2 door 3.5 v8. SU carbs. No rust. original interior in OK condition. Paintwork let's it down a bit but everything else is sound......What's it worth in today's market?...... Thanks.

I have thought of that but I drove it on Saturdy and it was fine.....:confused:

Hi all. Wonder could any of you help with a braking problem. I have 2 door classic with a 2.8 Daihatsu diesel engine. I went to drive out of the yard today only to find that on applying the brakes I had a very hard pedal with no braking power. I could hear some vacuum when pressing the pedal but...

Home made gasket between plate and block might be worth a try?.....It is leaking between plate and block and is dry elsewhere.

Can pipes corrode in a watertight oil pressurized space???....I would be more inclined to think seals....

It's just a weep. It's at the flange face that clamps the 4 pipes to the valve block. I have to top up once a week. I know it's only small but it can only get worse so I would prefer to address it now. Looks like the seals I need are about £15 each so £60 and a bit of spannering should sort it :D

Just watched the youtube vid.....Now my confidence is totally restored. I always hated the shoguns but watching that, they must be terrifying to drive :eek:

I have to agree with you Sierra.....It is too complex and too well thought out a system to just be like standard anti-roll bars. I can see the potential for overconfidence and rolling the vehicle without the proper feel of what the vehicle is doing. But is it not the case that the reason a...

Yep.....That'll set you back a thousand pounds sir :confused:

Crossed my mind but I actually like the idea of the ACE system. At the time it was a revolution in the way big 4x4's handle and I love the confidence I have in my disco when I hit them A road hairpin bends at 50mph.....No panicky last second breaking manoeuvres.....That being said though, I will...

Cheers.....Will let you know.....

Thanks James.....So pipes are just sitting in a port with O-rings around them and plastic clips to lock them in place.....Is that right? Thanks again.

Very cheap over here in Ireland.....A neighbour of mine just sold a lovely 03 TD5 GS manual with just 93000 on the clock. Drove like new and just had a lot of work done to it including all brakes discs and pads, new front hub and sensors. Full service and new battery......She got £1800 for it.

Hi all.....Was just wondering if any of you nice people out there can advise me of the set up of the front end of the ace valve block. There was a post here years ago which had a schematic of the system in a link but can't seem to find it now. Mine is weeping at the flange that bolts the four...
