From Earby/Skipton end, went to Walton High (now been demolished ) until I could'nt stand it any more and moved to a school in North Yorkshire !

Thanks a lot for your help ! Useing correct software is completely out of the question out here in rural France ! I would'nt mind if it was for me, doing a bit of "heel and toe" at junctions etc.. to stop it stalling but not the case ! If it had a bloody carb on it I would have had it sorted...

What is the travel of the valve in the idle control valve ? Think mine might be fooked ! Mine only moves a few "creaky" mm when you put the ignition on and then creaks closed and makes a humming noise when the ignition is turned off !

Everything looks fine & dandy ! Must have just got a bit of damp and has dried out as it seems to be OK now -Thanks for your help ;-)

Well it looks like I'm in Dickies meadow then !

1. Fuel pump out, cleaned not dirty, back washed filter and blown all the crap out with air line ! 2. Fuel pump seems to be working correctly and is'nt making any strange noises ! 3. Temp gauge on coolant pipe when disconected brings fans on and gauge in car obviously drops ! But the other one...

Thanks for your quick reply ! I will have a look now !

After buying a basket case 1.8 K series with half the engine in the boot decided to try and fix it (see other post on here )! So after a new piston,sleeve, cylinder head skim, gasket the old girl cracked up first time. Run's great,goes like **** off a stick, no over heating or coolant loss...

Thanks ! I will have a look behind the glove box !

Got a dammed bizare problem on a 1999 TD5 Disco ! First thing in a morning or first start of the day the indicators/hazards don't work, they try but just flicker, a long with the rear fog light and although full beam works the light on the dash does'nt work either ! Once it's been running for...

200 & 300 tdi's are the easiest things in the world to bleed after a tank,filter, what ever change ! So you must have a faulty connection some where that's pulling in air !

I did spend a bit of time over this ! As you know I did'nt take it in bit's,the engine was in kit form in the boot ! So I had to do a bit of guessing to get it back together !! Going off the peg marks that could be seen in the cam sprocket slot's and did a bit of reading up am nearly sure that...

PS: Just for info I have been changing my own cambelts on every vehicle I have owned for the last 30 years and have never been even a tooth out !! I have experience with cars where the belt has jumped a toothe and they usely run like a bag of **** ! This is'nt the case! The bastid starts up with...

I did set the timing with the crank pulley off and yes the 2 dot's lined up well as well as the pulley/cambelt cover ! Yes I checked the camshaft sprockets with a mirrow to make sure they were 100% lined up.Nodge their is a TDC mark on the cambelt cover that you can just see on the photo that is...

****ed off with it :(

Marks on cam sprockets line up perfectly, Mark on crank pulley line up on timing belt cover ! Can't find the crank locking hole ?? Anywhere ? Managed to get it ticking over useing the ajustment screw on the butterfly ! Also managed to get it over flowing from the expansion tank as the cap is...

Thanks Alibro ! I will check and double check all that tomorrow !

Thanks Nodge !Top man ! I will have a look at that tomorrow !

I used the dot's on the pulley to time the crank ! So what if re-do it one tooth out one way and the other and try it ? Where does the flywheel locking pin go ? Hole in the bell houseing somewhere ?

Petrol ! foot on peddle ! Boot down !
