When you say it rev's a bit then "bogs down" Does that mean it sounds like it's missing but the revs are higher than idle speed or does it return to idle speed and idles nicely. Cause that could be the governor acting up as well. Not sure if throwing some injector cleaner thru the system...

That looks bloomin incredible

Mine has the same kind of play as well . Was like that from new. As for the ticking not sure but you should be able to get a good look at the lobe/lobe's on the camshaft too see how that looks as there is plenty space.

So if i take the radio out I can get to them with a normal hand - Are they all screwed onto 1 point or a couple of point's. Definitely worth a try to sort out my multiple of electrical gremlins thks for the heads up

How do find that awning does in even a light wind / breeze - looks damn good

Manual or auto ?

So I need to get the passenger side seat base out. I cant move the seat forward or backwards as the motors aren't working so can't unbolt the rails Either due to the switch in the middle console sides or due to the many relay's under that seat being kaput - after 25 years I can't complain I...

Where are these markings on the injector ?

Must admit a set of air horn's - strength of which is in the lead locomotive class - looks good Isn't it also an effective butterfly collector

On the water in the air filter box. The D2's air box looks the same as my D1's so the causes could be the same. So The box has rubber "grommets" that mount it to the body and mine regularly somehow shake themselves out of them. thereby creating a small passage for water ingress Then on my box in...

Not a td5 owner but still follow the various threads. Is it not an option to make a hole in the harness so that any oil being fed into it from the cylinder head can drip out instead of being pushed up and into the ecu ?

If the handbrake stopped working it would seem to point towards the diff - rear - being the problem area as the handbrake is on the rear propshaft. Well just a guess from me really

Yip - that small 12v supply to the solinoid caused me the same issues. The spade connecter looks like it should have some sort of a bolt holding it in place as there is a hole in the centre of the spade connecter. I bent mine as carefully as possible some time ago and all seems well still. It...

"I have a feeling the disks are getting covered in wet mud while deep in the ruts and that's what is wearing the pads" In my experience that's exactly what is happening. One of my yearly trips is to a mud covered area of botswana - about 2 weeks and about 1500 kilo's covered and I will go...

Your centre diff-lock will indeed send 50/50 power to both the front and rear alxe When all this power get's to each axle the axle doesn't have a diff lock so it put's it all to the wheel with the least amount of traction That's on the D1 On the D2 onwards they got clever by taking the pesky...

That small pipe with a T-piece will work. During my testing I used the connection that goes onto the top of the FIP with a t-piece. a lot less heat in that area Mine is on the top turbo hose thereby showing me if there are any leaks as well Used a valve from a racing bicycle tube thru the...

Where's the christmas Grinch on here - surely there must be half a dozen or more people that would qualify

Is that an extended sump with a temp sensor in it ? What kind of temp's do you see at highway speeds

On my D1 300 tdi there were a fair amount of studs - maybe it wants to come out more parallel - is it a half inch all round or just at the bottom / top ?

What injector was it - if it's number 4 then I need to do mine as well
