Oat works fine with brass rad cars. Aslong as its red. Oat red lasts 5 years and has better antitrust properties. Its going to be replaced with purple soon ,g48 I think, can't remember the classification. Purple will be down compatible with everything. It can be bought now from some places.

It stands to reason. These engines were rushed into production. There are so many improvements that can be made, both costly and cheap to do. I'm just about to buy another disco, one in much better condition and more suitable as an all rounder. So I will be a blank canvas to start again with...

how are you finding the new pin after a while of driving. Can you get better mpg if driven gently, more useable power?

Can you confirm the shut off solonoid is working correctly?

Rape seed oil has the higher calorific value and is thinest. New clean oil is best for intank use. Requires no filtering etc. Used oil is the most cost effective per litre as long as its filtered and has the water removed. Yes 2500 is the limit. Thet expect you to keep reciepts to prove...

As said, sounds like the soloniod on the starter is seizing with the extra heat of towing

Does it do it if you tow with the electrics unplugged?

So the pin controls the fuel advance for on boost conditions. It basicaly provides a fuel trim "curve" as opposed to a violent on/off boost control. By modifying the pin, you are changing the way the extra fuel is added, and how much is permissible. Sounds like a good mod to make. I realise...

Good condition Bosch pumps would probably stand it, but a high mileage one may struggle to keep its seals in shape. Acetone also turns extremely acid like when in contact with heat and water. If the diesel filter has a bit of water in the bottom along with the heat of the engine, it could cause...

personal design or one you bought from a company?

If your unsure then get some pics up on here and we can see if its worn or not.

Just a note on aftermarket panel filters etc, and how, sometimes, the std airbox and filter is best! BTW, the below is not advertising, its just me proving a point when it comes to cost comparison! I work in the trade selling car parts. A panel filter from some of the big brands costs about...

Servicing the turbo is fairly straight forward. Non vnt turbos dont tend to suffer like the vnt mechs do. The cartridge or CDHA (the centre of the turbo with the bearings and oil feed etc) comes away from the hot and cold side by undoing the bolts around the 2 edges. Best to make sure you take...

manual or auto? Give as much detail as possible when you need help :cool2:

Engine?

I work in the trade selling car parts. A panel filter from some of the big brands costs about £21.00 inc vat at staff price and needs cleaning every other month with a bit of green laneing etc. It also needs re oiling with a kit that costs £11.99 and lasts for 5 cleans. Otherwise I loose a fair...

Its literally that, a selectable gearbox to drive each item.

There you go, I knew it was someone on here. As said, try removing the southdown ram and see if it still does it. It may sound silly, but if you think about when you drive along with the window open a crack, especially if your a smoker, the smoke gets drawn out of the car. Its the same for...

Also, the little filter on the chassis near the tank (if you still have one fitted) will be full of rubbish too. Very important to clean that too.

The 2 stroke (like running svo or wvo etc) tends to pick up all the rubbish in the fuel tank, pickup sock, fuel lines etc, behind the fuel filter and move it all forward to the filter. So its best to change the fuel filter a couple of times and always carry a spare just in case. Everything in...
