If it's a 300tdi check the back of the alternator the wire that supplies the feed for the tacho some times comes lose try reseating it failing that maybe a faulty wire.

Do what fieldman says i work for a delivery company if you ask for that info they will **** bricks

Have you tried the p gasket

Pop rivets are a solution also

Locked the landie at work this morning came back after me shift went to put keys in to unlock but damn thing was already unlocked this ain't the first time don't want to come back after shopping to find some arse has helped themselves to my open motor any help would be great.

Lucky bugger on both counts

Try Sureterm they are who i'm with cheapest of the lot

I never skimed mine took some advice from here got new bolts and reset tappets after the change and now running great, only cost £150

Skim and pressure check £40 quid all round here, changing the head is simple enough, And cheap to do.

Any one know where i can get one damn stud broke off while removing from the disco

Cheers gregc at least your post is sane lol

Hi i have a 300tdi m reg and have lost the 2 e-clips/circlips any one know what size they are as the local landie dealers have none in stock.

I didn't skim or pressure check and got away with it, it's a chance you take a head gasket is around 10-15 quid and if you do it your self it may be a risk you want to take to save some money.

I had that Problem was my Headgasket changed it and all good now :)

Cheers Mad Hat Man a wire on the back of the alternator had indeed come off so finally 2 weeks after the beast breaks down she now lives now to start the damn welding :)

Ok reset tappets now running but i've lost the rev counter any ideas please.

i did it twice as i messed up the torque i didn't reset the tappets as i put rods back in same holes, seems it will run eventually but its chucking out blueish smoke when i can get it to run and very lumpy

Ok changed the head gasket twice now first time with old bolts now has new gasket and new bolts starts up and cuts out has no revs on rev counter and when it does run has no power and can't even get off drive in need of sage hlep or a petrol can is in its near future.

i see your point lesson learned :)

so would the gasket be ok if i change the bolts
