I have already ordered Mapco one. Will get it in a few days. Thanks for the idea.

Yesterday i had a quick look to see what is available on the market and only found similar parts (oem, aftermarket, bearmach).

Do yo know something about Turner Engineering? As far as i have heard they are supplying good parts

Finally i could remove it by using the big socket method! I have added one more big washer, oil between washers and big force. Important also to use high tensile screw.

What is Aap? Is the one from Turner engineering also reliable?

Does anyone have any idea how to check the function of the dumper pulley bearing? As it should not turn only compensates the move of the rubber? Bolted to the crankshaft it did not have any play. Is there any way to check as it is removed now?

Thanks, at least one good news I "only" need now a new pulley (I think will order one from Turner Engineering) and after it is done continue the fight with the rear diff and remove the famous centralizing sh....t to get access to the seal.

I have tried with this, does not move. The 5mm thick plate is bending. I will give it a try with slide hammer tomorrow.

I am also in the same situation with the removal of the spigot. I would also need to change the seal and the first attempt has failed (diff in on the car and tried to use big socket-M8 bolt method). I will give it one more try and after either by a tool what I have found on the net...

I also had a look on the other components now and found the ACE pump has about 1mm axial movement. Is it acceptable or also scrap soon:(

Hi All Yesterday i have changed the oil seal on the front of the crankshaft as i had a slight leak coming from there. Before refitting the pulley i cleaned it a bit and recognised that there is a ball bearing in the midle (i did not know that before. I have thought that only the rubber housing...

I have seen this on cars from Australia and as I remember somewhere in this area. I was also thinking to install one but my car is LHD, so much more difficult to find such nice place. By the way, I think the hoses on the example are connected on the wrong way...upper one should be the inlet, am...

Around 170k in mine. 2003 td5 manual.

If the price of a used one is much lower than the price of a rebuilt one (from Ashcroft) go for it. But if it is for example 270 pounds like the first one on the link I would go for a rebuilt one for about 500 pounds (if you think long term). the used one is a lottery and the rebuilt has...

I also have a leak on the left hand side of my car what I could not identify so far, seems engine oil. It is very minor but I want to solve... I have cleaned that area several times, changed hose from reservoir to steering pump, checked fluid levels (constant). No leak from the top at all. It...

If you already have the parts why do not you change the injector washers? It is not a big job as i have heard and at least you will know that it has done.... The guy here in hungary had very similar issue and also checked everithing and finally changed the washers. Since he is ok.

Have you already changed the injector washers? There was a guy here in Hungary with very similar issue (started almost the same time like yours:-). They changed the washers and o-rings yesterday, issue solved for them.

agree. height difference in my case came from the combination of springs and shocks. I made a mistake when ordering springs and ordered pre-facelift ones (KYBs). There were too soft I guess..

Sorry, blue/gray (00330) and yes on both sides as mine LHD.

I agree with Fery.. I also had Monroes at the front and changed them for Bilsteins. I have also changed springs to grey/purple. Before my car was about 20mm below normal height (and one side 10mm below compared to other) and now it is about 10mm above normal height and level.
