Have you got excessive crankcase pressure in the cam cover? That would probably push oil into the loom. I've only changed the loom twice in more than 10 years of ownership - the 1st time 10 years ago due to oil in the red plug (no misfire). The 2nd time recently as preventative maintenance as I...

Contact 1 or more of the D2 breakers around.

The vacuum value is definitely very low - either because the pump is no good or because of leaks. In an earlier post someone said the vacuum should be between 15~20 in Hg. Actually, for a diesel engine or any engine with a separate vacuum pump, the value should be quite a lot higher - typically...

I'm still running the 2001 D2 TD5 manual I bought s/h 10 years ago at 155,000 miles. It's now got 203,000 miles & is still going strong. For the first 6 years it was my daily driver to get to & from work. But now only gets used for driving to & competing in off-road events. It's only broken down...

Yes, that's the potentially offending Railko bush. At it's worst it breaks up & you get jammed in odd gears. Mine chose Reverse - lol.

I'd imagine with that offset change you're going to get fouling of the tyre on the top inner edge of the wheelarch while flexing. I run narrower tyres than you (235/85 Special Tracks) on standard modulars at the front and a 2inch lift & they currently touch the top edge occasionally, dependant...

57mm

Not many!

They're a 92mm change versus standard wheels. Whichever direction they move or turn, that looks like a major job to cut away enough to prevent tyre contact.

Yes, the hose is usually not the problem, it's typically the connections. If you have difficulty getting the correct assembly, you could ask a hydraulic hose specialist make something up for you. There is usually a few in most towns.

Maybe, but probably not for long. D2 PAS system pressure is upto 900psi at full lock according to the manual - so some very large forces trying to blow the pipe off.

Part No. is RYH500116 - they look readily available. According to island4x4 it is 17mm as you've measured

That definitely looks like 17mm - wierd! As you're measuring what I assume is the replacement part, you've presumably got the mating nut too. If not, try Island4x4 as they can be quick. The photo on the car looks to show some type of castellated nut - unless it's an odd prevailing torque nut...

It's unlikely they're a 17mm dia thread - that would be a very, very unusual size. On my L322 RR I had to cut the tie rods out with a reciprocating saw as the bolts were rusted solid in the bushes.

10-20mA drain is fine - very low & obviously not high enough to drain the battery for a long time 4.5 volts is very very low - was that measured on the battery terminals or elsewhere ? Could you have a loose battery connection ? Could the lights have been left on ? If not, the battery is very...

Good luck and enjoy!

The torque wrench isn't needed if you weigh yourself and work out what position you need to stand on a long socket bar to get the correct torque. For me it's about 18 inches from the socket centre. If you're really light you might need to find a heavier friend - lol.

Beware many aftermarket speakers won't have the same sensitivity as the OE speakers (dB/W) - so unless you add a separate balance control to reduce the output from all the other speakers, you replacement rear door speakers won't be noticable. the speakers you've identified are not great at 88dB...

. My 2001 10P probably somewhere between stage 1 & 2 in terms of re-map, has the straight through centre silencer, standard rear silencer, Allisport intercooler & is on 201,000 miles without issues so far. However, I've got an additional "real temperature" guage to monitor water temp & I...

The Allisport intercooler is a useful upgrade. Pick-up starts at slightly lower rpm & seems to add noticable torque + better top end
