Thanks, the LR part looks the business but not sure if it’ll properly fit an 18” wheel, the construction is flexible but is there enough flex for an inch! Best, A

Hi all, Just checking if part number STC7984 (pictured) would fit an 18” alloy wheel (235/50 R18)? The part indicates 17” so if anyone has one or knows if would fit next size up would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Anthony

Yeah that’s the one. Are the silicon are better than standard - the bright colour certainly would show up a leak very quickly. Good Idea, how did you secure the piece of old tube on top of the screw between other tube? Cheers, A

Perfect thanks 👌

Hi Artic, what’s the best way to cushion the impact of the left hand screw just under the turbo cooler hose (viewing from from vehicle) as is cutting into tube wall and likely to create a hole if not avoided? Best, Anthony

Gents and ladies, Just received the load space rubber mat (LR STC50435) ordered online, just checking if anyone has any tips on fitting… It comes in one piece - with the profile of the floor safe door and the positions of the luggage anchor points - do you cut out the exact profile imprint or...

Thanks Nodge, I used 5w40! Fully synthetic but still showing oil light flickering when engine heats during an hour driving, checked oil level is still very black… Is there a drip tray that can be removed under engine to clean out very old oil? It only took just over 5l oil was expecting 6.7L… I...

Going to change out oil today - just double checking that 5W 40 FULLY synthetic is the best given already at 120k miles and to orient bearings etc (thanks Nodge)? Best, Anthony

Thanks gents, some great photos and advice. I cleaned out the intake manifold, was caked up bad, had to shove screwdriver through 2 ports to break it free, then filled with mr muscle oven cleaner and flushed through with water three times until it ran clear. Replaced the egr valve, connected...

Thanks Andy, just checking - that’s connecting a pipe to the small hose connector which normally connects back to the Egr solenoid?

Finally got new injector in to replace faulty one, then had to take all out again as wouldn’t start… because didn’t fix the copper washers in place with ‘ceramic grease’. Now I’ve done that, starts no problem at all… except big puff of white smoke near the EGR, after revs the hose there is...

Many thanks Artic, Got the glow plugs out fine. Just to check - how do I test if glow plugs are working using a voltmeter? Best, A

Thanks Artic, I didn’t tighten the top cap and yes did put its spring back in. I’ll try what you did while waiting for delivery of refurbished. Where is the R40 number? Cheers, A

Diesel leaked from dodgey injector on way home, ended up being a piggy back with AA flat bed 🤪 Managed to remove the injector as per photos shown below as follows: 1. Loosen the injector using side hammer kit 30mm socket. 2. This loosens it enough to unscrew head using a spring grip wrench...

I think the sensor head screws off, the fitting on the slide hammer loosens it but the frame of the oil filler cap is in way unscrewing the first injector. Just to note brought the car for 200 mile drive to Cork today with work and never sounded better, but getting it to start was hassle. Had...

How did you remove the injector head cap in photo - the side hammer socket won’t allow unscrewing it as the oil housing is in the way? Cheers, A

Hi artic, how do you Connect the slide hammer to the injector? The cable connector at top is in way of connecting as shown b in your photo?

Hi Artic, Will this kit do the trick? https://amzn.eu/d/40kGipv Cheers, A

Thanks Artic, Managed to remove three injectors, clean and replace the washers, each looked in great condition. The first injector - drivers side of engine block - where the gunk build up was, was ‘impossible’ to budge. Worked on it for 4 hours and no joy at all. So looks like a slide hammer...
