Hi all, I’ve seen an old blog regarding the same subject matter but thought I’d raise this for my old girl. My truck is a 90 TD with original J Series engine. The fuel filter is situated on the driver side on the front bulkhead in the engine...

OK, I'm going to dare to say it. Isn't insurance involved?

Sorry for your loss😞 Thankfully it did not spread to the house! Kev

Well todays the day that I’ve been waiting 6mths for …. Its painting time …. Few minor adjustments with the mixing ratio and Ive got the hang of this Selamix 5-1-20%

Thought I’d add to the ‘range’… 😉

Hobsons have one new one in stock.

Man I feel for you. :(:(:(:(:(:(

Is that a filter in the brake reservoir or has it been filled with tomato soup? 😃

I appreciate the comments @pscan.eu and @Alibro I will be keeping this in mind for the future for sure, however, I was already planning to use custom brake lines for this vehicle (it is not a daily driver or even remotely close to such) so the...

If the motor runs, but doesn't unlock there's probably stripped gears inside. Most P38 latches suffer failing microswitches, but the motors do fail - mainly the brushes. I have repaired some of mine. There's about 6 or 7 screws holding...

Take the spark plugs out (distributor cap seems to be missing ??). Then crank it on the starter motor & check the oil pressure and get the oil circulated where required. Then I would put sparkies in & get it to fire up & idel before revving it up.

strip off the bits you can as you may need them for the new one you will buy

Hope he don't trip on the way out and bust his new phone :eek:

Final update. After a few weeks of motoring I cannot detect any difference in handling between the original ACE system on my D2 and the now inert roll bars fitted. So job done and highly recommended to other in the same situation.

Dunt you worry, he'll trip over the step going inna shop and get an new S25 in compensation...

Alright Guys, If you read my introduce me post, this is the burnt out D2… All my fault. I had a lapse in what I normally would do, I left a dirty greasy rag on the rear drivers axle and it caught fire from a bit of glue that was on fire from...
