Come across this many times either its rustid in or its been ****ed up too tight and clamped itself into the nut, more common with the softer copper pipes. Just cut the coont and put a ring key on it and replace the pipe. Be careful with joining, at one time it was wrong to join a female end...

I'l second that, of all the mechanical work I have done trillions of engines, gearboxes have always been a bastid with their own little tricks to trip you up, and you will probably have to get axcess to a press to get the gears off. Most folk send them out for repair these days to somebody set...

Yup I did and it aint nufin to do with propshafts turning, one wheels gona turn like a pram wheel with a rattle of a broken shaft if your lucky and the other with a bit of resistance coz its turning the diff bits, slight as it is but shud still feel it. Oh and I'm too lazee to go back to the...

Just jack it up and spin the wheels.

I was just going to say that, the suck side wont allow oil back to the filter, they were prone to oil in the looms anorl but dunt know if it gets down through the maf, but easy to check I guess if you have it off.

With a half shaft broken nothing turns the diff just free wheels, gona have to take the diff out probably anyway if its broke the shaft at the diff end and to get any broken bits out. On trucks if you spin a wheel back and forwards you can just about feel the diff spinning, or if the shafts...

I doubt that, its a fairly common problem this, lifting the head off or turning the engine displaced the liner seal, it fell to one side and got stuck then the head got put back on and squished it so it needs a set of seals. Sounds like the pistons are gona come out so you might want to put a...

Often with wet liners, if you are not careful removing the head you can disturb them, also you should not turn and engine like this unless you have clamps on the block. Other than that them engines are total ****e.

Before you start an engine rebuild it actually needs one and not because it has another fault causing the loss of power. Massive loss of power and high fuel consumption, no oil loss or smoke. Sounds like a cylinder down or the turbo aint working, start with cracking each of the injectors and...

I do it all the time coz I'm a daft old duffer, but better to have tried and made a coont of yurself than to not have tried and not have given us a laugh hehehe.;)

Mine does the same job, however been trying to get through ditches??, as you come out the rear part of the steering is exposed and gets whacked, and since the damper is bigger than the rod it gets it furst, the bastid. To be honest I would have been better with the damper off coz I had to take...

Dont understand how, I fitted one and it went on ok. Had to drill out the bolt holes in the chassis tho the standard bumper bolts are a bit too flimsey so fitted big bastids. Also they dont really help the steering a lot since the rear section is still exposed and I have done it in several...

A picture paints a thousand words eh, great pics big man.:)

Takes me more than 10 minutes these days, to get into mah box and find the spanners. and then I have to have a cupa, then I take it to bits and have my lunch, then I go for the bits, and then I'm exhaustid. Next day same procedure but in reverse, unless its too cold or raining then I watch the...

You need to determine if the fork is still connected to the release bearing although since its all internal I dont know of you can see in to check this. Its not uncommon for the fork to slip out and now the slave cylinder is at full travel. if you can check these things to give me some more...

When adjusting handbrakes its always a good idea to disconnect the cable, or just make sure its well slackened off, you then adjust the drum and then go for the cable. If you do it the other way you often get mad problems with them. And all the other suggestions **** in the drum, springs etc...

I dont know if its worth the trouble to be honest, if its foked get a recon unit, by the time you **** about with it and spend money on parts you might find it aint gona work properly. Few garages waste time on them, infact I dont know when I last pulled one to bits. But if you have the time...

Cheers Mark:)

Ordered up a paint suit, the mask is from a hire shop, a powered number with twin filters and full face, they tell me it works on all types of paint but its not air fed. Not sure about gloves tho, told it has to be special ones. I'm sure they used to spray that stuff with a normal mask at...

Fook working for henderson doors then, yur wullie is gona fall off:eek:
