Update These are a real fiddle but did get them off. You have to push down the top of the pipe whilst getting a flat blade underneath and push up. Ive never come across these before and didnt want to damage them as that would have been more than a few hours work. I did order the whole lot...

The fuel pump is making a racket and the car wont pull off. It will idle and start but is like a kangaroo when driving When its warm and on the lpg it runs fine. So with the bag of spanners sound from the pump and the running problem its the pump. Ive got a new pump but i cannot get the...

have another thread on this but this goes straight in without trying to find it in a long thread. After a long trip I got home and the dreaded sound of a rattly chain. I ordered a Febi timing kit and went about stripping the front. the very Young water pump I put in was cream crackered...

All went well and I've done a new thread

Thanks for the replies. Well it’s in and I put it in unextended. It was easy to do. I used a 19mm ratchet spanner from the front of the engine as a socket was too tight. Could only make 2 clicks at a time but it only took 10 mins and I’ve seen and heard folks taking a couple of hours...

I have the kit for the tensioner. I've opened it and its compressed into a neat size. do you install it like this or do you let it extend then install. I can remember a thread on this but cannot find it. Thanks

I've done the thermostat mod to reduce to 85 deg c so oil less critical. whilst I'm down the front strip down, New belts , New solenoid covers a de grease and maybe new plugs. Thanks lads for joining in

Rrrrrrrrrr. Just manoeuvred on the drive to put it out of Death Valley sun and had a little wiggle of the water pump. Well it wiggles a lot more than it should so that’s coming off first to look at. That’s a barstool as it was a airex one that wasn’t cheap but there you go and only...

Sorry it’s a 4.4 v8 m62 bmw unit

I must say my early l322 has been one of the most reliable cars I’ve had and done 55k on lpg. Only changed the rocker cover gaskets and the water pump, plus a quick swap out of the abs module that failed. I’ve just done a 500 mile round trip . New oil I may add, and when I got home I’ve...

Having been to my local landy man we discussed all the diagnostics. We’ve come to the conclusion of a duff wheel bearing that’s not noisy. So I’m going to replace the driveshaft and wheel bearing. I’ve used J & R trading in Birmingham for years and the shafts still going with no breaks in...

Andy I’m having the same problem. Jacked the front up to replace disks pads and have the same problem Mine the fault is gone first thing. Drive 20 miles and it pops up. Says front left abs sensor and hdc and air suspension. Replaced abs sensor and height sensor on left front but still same...

I'm having same problem with hdc and air. Codes say abs sensor front left and angle sensor. have you looked for cases in the abs I suspect the abs sensor is playing up so a new one of these on order. looks like a host of component failure comes up with these faults. also brake light...

I was having trouble with doing new shoes disks and pads I did one side and went great. got to the other side and the new shoes would not come together for me to put the disk on. I took off the cover to the handbrake handle and no sign of any type of handbrake reset to loosen the cable...

Thanks. Its the self adjuster on the hand brake handle I need I go on. just read on another forum something about a self adjuster spring and to put a pin in it whilst doing the rear end

There must be a way to reset the lever if its auto adjust. thanks for the info on the adjustment at the back I was aware of this but cannot get the disc on as the other end needs loosening off.

have the early l322 2003 v8. I had a seized rear caliper so decided new discs pads and brake shoes as well as new caliper The seized side went super smooth, but I'm having problems the other side. the cable on the hand brake pulls out enough with pliers for me to attach the metal box that...

Have you looked at the throttle body and tick over valve

Cam sensor ?

had a few codes come up on the diagnostics related to cam sensor and vanos auctuator on bank2. I've ordered 2 new cam sensors and will change the solenoid if it still comes up. No engine light on so cannot be bad. I've just spotted on eBay a couple of solenoids new for £31.32. Just...
