At least your first message wasnt "BEST PRICE?" 🤪

Now sold, will post up my parts hoard for anyone interested in the appropriate part of the forum.

Added a cold start vid: Still for sale 👍

Quick "stuff in the shed" list for resto_d1: Various Elring seals mostly for doing hubs and stub axles Engine gasket kit (open, no manifold gasket or head gasket) Lt230 gasket kit (open, cant remember whats missing) 2 lemforder drop links RRC coolant float level cap (for coolant alarm...

ahh yes, and the parts are generously supplied with a carrier bag - it's an extra large 2 tonne bag for life, and I'll charge a very fair price for it ;)

NOW SOLD Hi all, Been a long while since posting anything useful on landyzone having turned into a lurker over the years. But after enjoying the last (nearing) 7 years with my D1 as my daily driver, it's time to part ways with the old brick sadly as I need a mortgage, and hopefully a forum...

You will have to torch the horns to get them to crack off, then it's brute force and ignorance to move them. Plenty of old exhaust manifolds on ebay for cheap if you get desperate

Turns out i settled at nearly more or less exactly where yours is currently. Think my return hose came from bearmach if that helps? the hose is like a piece of exhaust flexi on the inside

The inlet hose is much more flexible than the return, don't remember it being a problem, looking at your photos i'd say the inlet feed hole should be at 11:30 - 12 o'clock ish rather than the 12:30 it's at currently. i'll have a look under my bonnet later to remind myself

Real bugger to see you've still got the oil consumption. Did you ever fit an oil catch can to see how much the crankcase is venting in order to rule it out? Having broken my old PC and then lost my login details, enough time has passed I got around to putting a new cartridge in my 300 as well -...

Apparently missed several pages when i first posted! A restriction has been found at last and only need a new turbo to eliminate everything else, haha. Fingers crossed you can close the thread at last now ey?

Blanked most of your recent updates but see things really have shifted along, keeping the digits crossed that in the next few weeks no more oil escapes from the sump, and it remains a time well spent outcome!

Wahey progress, good solid progress. Good to hear there is finally a solution!

Don't know how skinflintish you're aiming to be (exceedingly i hope, as is a must!), but someone i used to work with in pompy used "Auto barn" in waterlooville once a month or so to work on his D2 V8, was about £100 a day hire a few years back, looks like they're still going? Pretty sure they...

Yep, once it thins - also possible it wont be as bad with the turbo under very little load Basically a given nowadays there wont be what you need at halfords, does seem the prices are not quite as dreadful as they used to be mind - only had to give up a bit of liver last time i was in there...

Normally they stick open once they're wasted, same principle as your coolant stat just smaller - one hand on the oil cooler inlet and one on the outlet once warm soon shows if it's buggered (i.e outlet should be cooler than the inlet but not cold) . Doubtful it would cause excessive oil...

Wahey! Proper yobbo filter setup! Pity about the bonnet now not playing ball, but hopefully that wing becomes a smeary mess within a few hundred miles

A lot of modern 2k is cyanide free, some is even formaldehyde free, all PU 2k has isocyanates in as far as i am aware, though. You can get basic respirators for fairly little money, or a proper bit of kit second hand for £50-60. Very good investment! I've not used jawal before but being in...

That's a spot on observation. Scratch that disconnection point i may have made several times :confused: Better than the engine munching on that sock!
