Message from Glass ass rep for Nth Yorks, Barrie Mounty. Can you please not use the route between Marsett and Stalling Busk. This has been severely damaged by water. There is a central rut that is about 4-5 ft deep and anyone using the lane may sustain damage. Spoken to NYCC who are to...

Rubbers for the above rear side windows, windscreen and door seals. Any ideas gratefully received. Classic it's a 4door 93 Tdi. Bazz.

Thanks everybody for the response, have been present whilst all this controversy was unfolding I can say with all honesty that all the filters prior to the BMW items were either Land Rover or branded Britpart ones. The use of the BMW items as worked for me. Part numbers for the later type of...

Try and look for one WITHOUT Ace as it's expensive to repair! They did make them with torsion bars fitted front and back but not sure which models. The pipe work associated with ace is vulnerable to rust, oil leeks etc. this is an mot fail and not a easy job to repair. My garage advises...

Some time ago I posted on here about the trials and endeavours of stopping the above. I have now had 2x services and there's NO oil leaking from the oil filter housing. The cure was to go back to basics, it's a BMW engine, so we used BMW parts. Upto now it's worked ok ( touching back of head as...

Will look into that thanks for all the input, Bazz..

Just a thought could it be anything to do with the grade of oil, been using fully synthetic 10w 40. Too thin or too hot and then forcing its way past the seel????

Interesting, have done most of these suggestions and it still leaks after about 3k or doing some work like towing duties. Had a thought of buying the BMW bits just to see if they were any better! The engine was rebuilt at around 67k and as done 30k since it is a late p38 but has the early...

Thank you everyone for the input will look into your suggestions this next week when its in for a service.

A mate has an early L322 on gas had it converted at Autogas 2000 in Thirsk, North Yorkshire. First class job and had it reclassified for lower tax bracket.

Check the earth straps from battery to chassis and engine to chassis.

Ok thanks for that will give it a go, Bazz.

Hi Saint, what would cause that cos the engine has only done about 30k since a rebuild. Bazz

Hi all, hope everybody had a good holiday. Iam haveing problems with the oil filter cap leaking, only does it after a long run or towing when engine is working hard. Have replaced the filter housing and the cap, the later several times. Still leaks oil. Thinking of buying the BMW parts just to...

How did it go was it wet wet wet?

Does any body know if the lane running from 712-115 to 679-108 Gerrick Moor is open, Happy Christmas and a lanning Good Year to all. Bazz.;)

The ruts in this lane are deep, looks like the local farmers have been using their tractors on it. The stream that runs across it in a pipe is now cascading down the track, the pipe having been broken. Making it a lot worse. All this from tree felling. Council should get the forrestry company to...

Using OS mapping and its on the fringes of Battersby village not far from Stoksley.:D Will hopefully be taking a group around this area we before New Year.

:mad: This road is now impassable with only a seriouslly tricked up motor. The lane in question runs from top of Battersby plantation and has had a lot of tree felling over the last 2 years. This has keft the surface very badly erroded. Had a look last Tuesday 11/12/12, and it had not improved...
