    Oh! Might I enquire what that is? 😃

    P38 Diesel Injector Pump & Cam Top Dead Centre?

    Yeah, I replaced the top one and it didn't do anything so it's probably the lower ring. It's leaking very badly now to the point it's leaving very large puddles where I regularly park it.

    Thank you, Mark. That's reassuring advice. Does the fip removal tool fit the tensioner pivot sleeve exactly or will the sprocket be loose after fip removal? I was going to make grooves between the fip caps to align them exactly. Hopefully this will help with the overall timing. I've read 750rpm...

    I was going to do them all and just get it over with. I guarantee If I did the quick job it would come back to bit my backside anyway. Oh, right. If you Mark everything off and nothing moves why do they need to be re-timed?

    Incidentally, that was wierd. Just as I though has someone replied my phone notified me of your response.

    The pumps leaking so it's a removal for new seals. As long as its locked off and I don't turn the pump shaft/woodruff key, does it matter what position it's in? As long as nothings changed while it's out it shouldn't affect the timing when I put it back in. Don't worry, I know to mark the pump...

    Do you know if the woodruff key should be TDC on the pump?

    Cheers. Had a look but it doesn't say.

    Apologies if this is well discussed. I looked but couldn't find a thread. I've got the front cam lobe pointing to the injector side with the edge parallel to the guide visible in the oil filler hole & the locating flywheelpin is in & located (well the crank pulley wouldn't move after so im...

    P38A Height Sensor replacement

    Yes, I did solder a new connector to the FL sensor & put the old sensor back on as the cheap chinese ones were rubbish. Mines sort of behaving itself atm although it sits crooked on the left side. It used to extend to the max height on flat roads doing 30, however, it doesn't do this as often...

    Some videos. Don't mind my waffle. I'm like an old lady TBH. I can't think about what I'm saying & doing whilst talking and working on the car. The result is I talk a whole load of ****e and create boring videos...

    I was thinking that. It probably needs a good drive on the motorway by the time the heat travel through to the fan coil mechanism, too.

    All back together now and coolant topped up. Slight "hissing" sound but I think that's either the new belt breaking in or I've over tightened the AC belt. Probably the latter. Tested the blades on startup and the newspaper slows it to a stop. However... after a few mile drive to the shops &...

    It might if it had ripped through the aluminium thread & wedged in, which is what I was dreading. I know but when you trust someone on YouTube who "seems" to know what they're doing you assume they're right. I thought if he's confidently posted that torque setting and he himself torqued his...
