Morning All. :D Normal service is resumed, glad to be back. :) Have a lovely day. :D

Here you go...

Fitted the garage doors then ?

The black electrical rectangular thing bolted to side of valve block

I just stopped by Pickapart for a steering rack, and someone had removed the glove box timber trim and the centre console but then tossed them under the car so I can't advise how or what you need to do to remove the glove box (presume it is...

How to improve the ride inna tratter

Me bin got empty'd. Result.

A tratter ain't a real tractor like a Ferrari tractor.

Yer quoted a post wiv swearing innit.

Sounds like a plan, don't forget some photos of your new ride.

So, I slept over my tinkering ideas. And had a closer look at the car. Hence, a change of plans. A) I need a new oil cooler, the old one is leaking at the thermostat and one crimped in hose. And the connectors are impossible to remove from the...

Ok, thank you 🙏 He has, very kindly. I’ll see how the MOT goes - if it drastically fails then I won’t be pursuing it I don’t think as just doesn’t make financial sense really. If we’re good then I shall take him up on it 👌

A full disco 300tdi which will be broken as its rotten.

Personally i would say they are one and the same, you get the same or come to the same conclusion, clearly No 4 injector needs to be changed then go from there, do another leak back test or get it on the code reader and check the injectors that...

Essentially it’s getting the preload on the lifters correct. If it’s wrong it impact compression & engine won’t be at its best.

Fair enough Cheers👍👍

You could search the forum or google it. It’s been described many times by peeps changing cams, lifters or doing head skim.

And what is the difference ?

Worth talking to @Bemble ?

Sorry @Arctic2 - forgive my ignorance- so does it matter whether a “leak off” or “leak back” test was done? Just concerned as to whether this affects the interpretation of the results. Clearly either way injector 4 is (the most) dodgy given the...

Here’s what I did to mine in case this helps you I hope. Sticky butyl with the hexagon pattern. 2.5mm. Off eBay from a vehicle company. Can’t remember the price but it was acceptable. I put it on the footwells, gearbox tunnel, under and in the...

1=25ml Only just outside acceptable 2=12.5ml inside acceptable. 3=20ml acceptable 4=35ml outside acceptable so this is the suspect. If the test was done properly over a 2min period anything within the 20ml is acceptable Maybe take Freddie17 up...

Ah. I've discovered that "leak off" and "leak back" tests are different things... I did ask for a leak back test but clearly this was lost in translation because they've performed a "leak off' test according to the invoice. I guess this would...
