Thanks discool for the part number, there is a one on ebay, it has one clip missing though, this is why I put shout out on here. My V8 has a cone filter and to be honest not keen on it drawing in the hot air from engine bay so going back to standard with a K&N flat filter While I am here I have...

Thank All, I am going to have a look at some of the potential faults areas on the V8 today. Not had a chance this week as I have been prepping my 300 TDI for its MOT and I had some one coming to buy it. 300 passed its MOT with advisories. The sale is not going ahead so I will post it in the for...

Yes it is a 3.9. I will give all the electrical connections, fuse box a check and clean and change the relays, I have plenty of spares. Thanks Ian

On the 300 tdi I replaced rear drop links, fitted new antiroll bar, bushes and did rear brake pads - they were in a right old state. All the work to get through MOT then the 300 will be sold on

yeah could be ECU as you can get similar symptoms with modern Motorbike's. Where is the ECU located on the 98 D1's I can not see it behind cover drivers side foot well I will go through the ignition system and make some checks. Would the module on the side of the dizzie give the same symptoms...

Hi all, The new to me 1998 D1 V8 has an annoying fault and I don't know where to start. EML is coming on and flashing randomly, this is accompanied by rough running, I switch the truck off take key out reset alarm and it will fire up fine, no EML light and running great. there has been a few...

All jobs on the V8 Replaced cracked indicator lens with a spare from the stash. Adjusted the headlamp manually, I tried the electric switch and this seemed to jam in the high position, need a wall now to check pattern height. Fixed the Sony head unit, broken button which was causing random...

Discool, No more key in ignition beeper, many thanks. I am warming more towards the V8 now. I just happened to mention on facebook that I was thinking about selling the 300 tdi, well its sold without advertising it, taking some pics for the buyer I have seen how good condition the 300 is in...

Discool, thanks for the beeper info, which white wire is it - there are 3. would it be a white wire coming out of the infernal box behind fuse box? This one was registered June 99 must be one of the last registered?

LPG 56p a litre so you can afford to run a V8. Well I am keeping the V8, gave it a good wash today, no idea last time it was washed properly, still needs a machine polish. The wet floor on the drivers side is a wiring loom grommet so out with the silicone. I have been starting it a few times and...

What have I done this evening? V8 update, found connector and powered up ECU mate, no fault codes! only problem I have found so far is; figure value for stepper is too high, I will reduce it tomorrow. I will also delve into the ECU mate a bit more while connected and truck running and look at...

Did some work on the 300 TDI for its MOT which is up at the end of the month. removed the old rear drop links and antiroll bar. Angle grinders are great things - I did try and undo all the nuts and bolts - no joy. ordered new/better antiroll bar, some new drop link bolts and some antiroll bar...
