Oh dear. Sorry to be bearer of bad news, the reason the HP pulley has moved is due to tension on timing chain and valve springs etc. You may be able to pull it back into line, but not without the tool fitting. Do you know why the tool didn't fit? Is the pump bent? If that pulley moves too much...

A time saving update. Doing the headliner in the Sport now. Tried taking all one side trim out then folding back seat and winding front seat back on the same side. Headliner drops and un hooks from side with trim still fitted. Means you only have to take one side trim out. Going to try an...

Get underneath, grab the point where the diff connects to the prop and push up and down. You will see the bush has broken I expect.

Fitted new turbo solenoid. No more power reductions and no fault codes for boost problems, however, the live data states that the boost is still hitting 248 Kpa inlet manifold pressure on occasions. None of my other TD4's get over 220 Kpa and it does seem that 248 is the max so not sure what...

Front of the 3 rear diff bushes has failed and prop kicks in air and touches floor when accelerating.

Exhaust took ages to clear when my HP pump failed. Like about a week of regular use.Will make exhaust last longer though!!

Hard to see. Looks like it might have been slipping on the cog and the marks are nut spin marks?? Might be your problem. Was the nut loose ??

10,000 mile update. Lowest measurements. Front 6mm Rear 6.3mm Approx 0.5mm lower in the mid section than the edges. Pressure at 33psi. Will drop to 31psi. When 1mm difference front to back will swap around.

Having driven one with a broken belt, it is a safety item as the steering goes too stiff for some to steer. As above, don't think it is an MOT item in UK but probably should be.

Where heater pipe goes through bulkhead behind fusebox next to air con pipes and filler caps.

Don't forget the bleed screw near the air con recharge points.

You can lock the drive plate on an auto. But for HP pump would question why you would do that. Use the tool above.

Collectors item now. 70's memorabilia

Do the seals for the extra cost. Otherwise it is shafts out again later. I find, a small chunk of hard wood on the joint and a sharp smack with a large hammer pulls the shaft out. It is held by a circlip on the shaft in a recess so smart and hard is better than lots of gentle whacks.

Yes. Just 2 wire clips top and bottom. Many places sell boots. I use Poly ones as they last longer. Measure top and bottom diameter and depth and get nearest. I use https://gwynlewis4x4.co.uk/product-category/polyboots/

Fit new boots to old ones and keep for spares for when new ones fail. The heavy duty ones seem better. Originals are still best.

Good luck. If it is too shiny underneath they may fail it on glare back !!

All my old classics, used to add a simple 2 pole switch so that the switch in isolate position stopped cranking and sounded horn when cranked ! You can't stop them breaking in but can stop a drive away and also make a lot of noise ! Should be simple with a switch and a relay. Even a key switch ?

Just above brake pedal. Quarter turn to remove.

Burnt out brake light switch due to water in light units ??
