I have just taken off the airbags in anticipation of the springs that will hopefully arrive tomorrow.
REALLY easy to do. You need two jacks, the LR one to raise and lower the axle, and a jack on the chassis.
Big flathead screwdriver to remove clips top and bottoms, two each end. Small things...
How hot should the wheel bearing get- i have adjusted mine as there was some play in the front ones, and after a drive, it is hot to touch.
I didn't check how hot it was before i adjusted them. They are now well greased- should i worry?
It isn't too hot to keep your finger on it, but hot...
Bit of a strange one- My mum took her 90 into get some shopping earlier. When she came out, the 90 wouldn't start and the dash lights are on now- even without the key in.
Wont crank over and showed no signs at all of failing.
Any ideas???
Is a 90 300TDi 1999
Coming back from Newbury after picking up tyres, we were on the motorway doing about 60mph. Suddenly, there was a bang and a massive grinding noise from the box.
Now recovered home. Cant get any sort of drive at all. Can put it into any gear without putting clutch in, and doesn't make any...
my 200 tdi, with about 70K on the engine is smoking.
i have changed all the filters and the oil, but it still smokes.
no loss of power, nor does it overheat.
it is running quite a boost on the turbo- max of 14psi- is this too high and could this be the cause?
i have backed off the waste...
anyone know anything about stage ones?
Ideally- what can they cruise at on motorway without overdrive?
fuel consumption- is it much worse than a 2.25 petrol?
and what the hell is that front propshaft all about!
really fancy doing a Long way down type with the series 3.
'England, France, Italy, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa'
anyone done this before?
if an expedition from london to cape-town were planned, is it better to have petrol or diesel- i hear it is hard to get diesel in some countries on the way down there.
question is, if i were to start planning an expedition to there, do i take the SIII 2.25 109 safari with lpg or the 90 200TDi
or
