thanks! turbo is boosting normaly, dont think its an issue

thanks, will check and take note of injector balance

Well a little wiggle of the starter cable and it started right up... So also gotta clean the starter contacts now... Dont we all love discos

Well more worryingly after running it for a few seconds without a belt, now i cannot get it to start!! Battery seems good and i charged it for good measure. I can hear fuel pump running, doesnt look immobilized. But nothing from the starter motor...Whats happening

i think its a little better, the vibration is usually more noticeable with the engine warm i think but it feels smoother

I pulled the belt off and noticed the ace pump pulley and crank damper pulley both have some movement, maybe 2mm. Is this normal? I also have the typical squeak when switching off the engine? Could any of this cause vibrations as i describe?

hope not as it was replaced 3 yrs ago for a genuine one. must have not done more than 20k km

sorry for asking but considering water pump runs through the belt (I think?) how safe is it to run it without the belt?

yes went through some of these, all have something different i think... some happen when it is in gear , some only when engine is cold. couldnt find one which is exactly as mine

hmmm, good question, no its not just while moving

its a weird one but i seem to have a vibration which is most noticeable between 1500-2000 rpm. Things I noticed: 1. doesnt matter if it is in gear or clutch pressed/depressed 2. tried to change front and rear props 3. unlikely (i hope) that its engine mounts as they were changed 3/4 years ago...

yeah i have 1 year old at the front but FOR ONCE i didnt think about buying another one to keep in my personal stock so i might have problems when the rear one goes :( i will only consider removing ace if i decide to put an M57 instead of a td5...and even then i will consider putting an electric...

of course, an other option is to fit a generic double action hydraulic cylinder, in which case anyone has done it and knows one which fits close enough :)

Well considering that ACE Actuators seem to have vanished and you can barely find a second hand one, anyone knows if it is possible to service an ACE actuator if it is leaking?

well i guess you were right :(

please tell us more about this :D From which vehicle is the new turbo? I know it is a GT2256V but different source vehicles might probably mean different flanges. did you find one which fit the stock exhaust manifold and down pipe?>

unfortunately rust has found its was around the windscreen (top part) and was looking into fixing it. before i start tearing thing apart, is there anything i need to replace in the process? seals etc?

from what i am seeing the direction of the stock diffs are the same so only the rear is normally working on the strong side. this explains why front diffs are more prone to wear and whining. ashcroft offer a fix for that by means of front/rear crowns... anyway it means that my idea for the p38...

might be a silly question but can a rear diff be made to work at the front? thinking about adapting a P38 4-pin rear diff for the back of my disco and was wondering if the same could be dont at the front (use rear p38 diff for the front of the disco)!

i had the same concern but a few friends are running these batteries in older trucks like d1s,d2s, hiluxs etc and they seem to be working fine.
