As promised.....

Please find attached my first attempt at the crank pulley tool (excuse the spatter - but it'll do the job!)

Dims are also in the attachments!

Well, I've got the LR all stripped down to the chassis bar the bulkhead and this gives me excellent access to the front of the engine to change the timing belt. I've got all the parts I need from Turner Engineering but I haven't got one of these to undo the dog nut:

I'm not really keen on spending £60 for something I'm not going to use much more than once! So I'm looking to borrow one if I can from someone hopefully within the same County!

By the way, the gearbox is out, axles are off so I can't do the usual solutions. Any other ideas very welcome.

Willing to leave a good deposit to the borrowee or even willing to offer a suitable financial reward if they wish to show me how it's done! :biggrin1:

got jump leads?

neg to bat, other end to engine block.

pos to bat, other end to the starter pos stud. then you use a screwdriver to bridge the pos stud to the lil spade.

no need to spin it mad, just touch a few times.

and iirc isn't the 300tdi a 27mm socket?

I used this kit and an electric impact gun when I rebuilt my 300tdi:

I'm in Oxfordshire but you're welcome to borrow the kit if that helps at all..?
