I think that is a foam air filter you can see. Let's air in.

Which way? Complete or in parts ?

Finished the door panels this afternoon. Used this: https://ebay.us/m/h4Hdh4 1m at £14.95 will do 8 door panels. It is also such a close match to the original that if any are ok they can be left alone. LHS one is representative of the problem before recovering. Get all old foam off and the...

Off the car should be 1/3 of the time on the car. Due to the 3:1 diff gearing. So 1.2m and 5Kg on the car at a minute is at end of life. I use as a rule of thumb.

Diesel wash I guess. Maybe 2 injectors are well stuck open ?? I put a set of known working ones in and haven't looked at the ones that came out. One was missing anyway.

A standard tap would clean any burrs.

Just the failed engine to do an ortopsy on now ! Started this morning. I think I'll turn it into a competition to see what peeps think happened. Although of course, I don't know !! So I know compression was bad across all cylinders and oil was probably full of diesel and massively over full...

Not sure what you are trying to do. Did you use the bolt suitably adjusted to get leverage to pull the UJ yoke off ?? If so then the bolt is sacrificial and might be bent but never had thread damage. How did you remove the VCU from UJ ??
