How many miles has it done? around 100k is generally rebuild time. If there was no oil I doubt it would have moved at all as the gearbox and torque converter (clutch) share the same oil.

Hi, Thanks. I only had one and got that solved thanks. If we could work out the pattern it would help others. Assume you'd need a list of serial numbers and lock codes that match ?? I'm sure the forum could provide.

Tip of the week...... You need 2 lengths of rope...tie one end to the ramp & lay the rope out the full length of the motor and drive over the rope, the weight of the motor on the rope stops it sliding away. :)

I'm in Cheshire, near Warrington. Do you know of anyone that could give me an opinion? Appreciate your help.

I use my rear tow hitch on the 90, now doing the same on the d3 since the sensors packed up.

Fuel pin seized in the injection pump. had it happen on a 200 (same pump) and was as flat as a wet fart! Item B, 5 mins work to get at, only 4 screws to remove.

Yes engine still runs..... Oh Really? I have 6 children... plus husband and father.... will that cover it? Is there any chance its no oil in the gear box and a simple fix or do we think the gear box has gone to a better place?

Just to advise you all i stock loads of unf and unc stainless screws on my website www. britstainless.co.uk or my ebay store of the same name, if you need any help just ask, thanks brian

Some Bosch pumps have a small filter on them. Can’t remember exactly where, but it’s hiding under a bolt (if present). Worth exploring. Sounds fuel related.

No that's far too "butch & masculine" ;)

My names Gem and I have a 2004TD6 Vogue which I love more than my husband and yesterday it made a horrific noise... sounded like the exhaust exploding, I managed to get it into the drive but now it wont go into reverse. It made the sound on...

Ok cheers! I'll post there .

She wont reverse. She goes into reverse and feels like she's going to but then doesn't budge.

Will you be borrowing it off @Hippoo?

Certainly not in the Ai world😂

Checked the lift pump when I took it out the box and it's nice and strong, great suck and blow action which is what I like. The fuel lines are larger than standard, I replaced them all years ago. I might replace the fuel filter again and stick a...

Stihl are a sleekit bunch. They sell the machine but all the other bits are extras. Eg: you buy a chainsaw you get the actual machine but the guide bar and chain have to be bought separately..expensive way to buy kit. (Maybe still got a sad on...

Thanks Stanley, just found it in my manuals, so yes , as for the problem as you say sounds like a hydrualic lifter gone best to fit a full set if you can get them at a resonable price Rimmer sell these OEM Hydraulic Tappet 24mm Height (16...

I didn't try bleeding it yet, too hot today! I only have one wheel cylinder on the fronts

That’s good progress did you get some air out, have you got 2 wheel cylinders at each front wheel , there is a few other things to try if brakes still not adequate

We had a Rover 420 with one in, one of the very few they made with "fly-by-wire" in. Fast as flip and economical too. I loved it, then we gave it to our son in law and he loved it too, until some A hole rear ended his trailer and destroyed the...

Off to Lavaur tomoz for the show "Rock and Cars" which is always fun. Bizarrely the frogs can't get enough of yank wheels. Good music from the 50s and 60s, booze, food... should be good. Then Sunday the Round Table are doing a thing up at the...

the engine is a T16, The Rover T16 engine, a development of the M16, was used in a variety of Rover vehicles, including the Rover 820, 200/400/600 series, and 800 series, as well as limited-run models like the 220/420 GTi and GSi trims. It was...

One thing we will never, ever, be able to ignore in future, when we see 1 of your great illustrations, is the image of you creating it on your bed naked save for a pair of Y fronts and socks!

Run the engine for thirty seconds without the belts. See if the noise reoccurrs. If not then it's probably the water pump, could be the impeller coming loose.

I’d be looking for a faulty lift pump (even from new) or an obstruction in the fuel line somewhere (possibly even within the lift pump).

Boughted a noo electric hand shears for grass and bushes, like the Stihl thing. You had to be careful, as many on display, although all costing much the same, didn't come with batt and charger. :mad: Looks like this a noo "thing" with batt...

That bang isn’t the exhaust. It’s not toast per say, but it’s not cheap is why they are saying it’s not worth it. This is the intro section to say hello and post some pics of your pride and joy. For technical help you should ask in the relevant...

It's as clean as it is. Never had this problem before and it does tend to sit parked up for weeks at a time (not so much now).

Up at 6 a.m. this morn to take W to A&E. She tripped and fell while we bimbled around Castres last week before lunch. Of course she fell cos of her dodgy foot, the paralysed one and twisted it or summat. We carried on and once home after the...
