    Gearbox/transfer box on 1989 2.5 td

    had a search couldn't find nout. gearbox rattling when revved high in second, quite leaky transfer box, only just noticed the leak really, as it only apears to leak when in motion and not all over the garage floor when parked. my question is, will filling up with oil stop the rattle? and how...

    just welded mine in exactly the same place today, but probably best just to get a new one if you can (£30 at the most), as if its old enough to crack through, its old enough to be binned!

    Throttle retraction lag (2.5 TD)

    no, basically from on top of the injector pump it snaps back as it did when it worked fine, but it still revvs, despite being in the idle position, so between the pump and the pedal it works fine, but you may be right about a spring somewhere, shall take a look. any chance it could be a problem...

    Leaking injector

    Throttle retraction lag (2.5 TD)

    i might be being really f***ing dense but, how is it the cable if i move it without touching the cable and it still does it?
  12. bigwill

    Throttle retraction lag (2.5 TD)

    yeh had a look at that, when you move it arround under the bonnet it snaps back straight away and still revvs. when left for a bit (30 seconds or so) it does return to idle.

    Throttle retraction lag (2.5 TD)

    Any ideas as to how i can stop her revving slowly down to idle after taking my foot off the throttle, as apposed to going straight back to idle how it should? raised the idle speed the other day then she started doing it. cheers.
