That is why I have a low amp fused bypass on mine. Enough to keep things powered, radio, tracker, alarm etc, but as soon as you turn the ignition on and the glow plug tray kicks in the fuse will blow! You just need something similar for the alarm...

You will need a lot of photos for people. Engine 300tdi(take a photo of the passenger side of the engine,this will confirm if turbo still fitted) Take a photo of the engine mounts on chassis & engine Unsure what make that chassis is...

They are but with some work and revealing of the box and dash you can get a reasonable heat output from them.

No it does not need coding the tdv8 and 5.0 can be tolled it's had a new battery fitted but it makes little difference

Tremendous storm yesterday so finally got are rain, water tank 1/2 full so ok for a while same as @Stanleysteamer temperature has dropped today bit more comfortable, nordvpn have reconfigured the system so have to re-flash are modem so that will...

Ok - maybe one will be ordered by a new member soon 😉

I would appreciate your thoughts – I am rebuilding the cylinder heads on a 3.5 v8, carb version, from a Discovery 1 which has 75,000 miles on the clock which I believe to be genuine. I am going to re-grind the valves which all look good and no...

I guess not. Spoilt brat syndrome in spades that one. :)

He don't want you to be there !!

..

have a look at the flights from Stansted to Pula , when I was working in the UK i could get a flight for £5-00 but that was 8yrs ago

I am waiting on the return of two EGR and i have two in the shed that need doing, when i get time to sort them out which would be this weekend sometime.

Wifey is a bit miffed. :mad: It seems at first glance that due to some unfortunate oversight by "others" I have been omitted from the funeral guest list. She has raised this matter with the cabal led by her brother that has been making the...

Got ya. I think mine has military fronts and series mid row doors.

Would be intrigued to no what the problem with water was in the basement ? Just so I can get some sleep tonight 😮

True although the seats on the journey Bournemuff - Carcassonne are very cheap! We cannot knock the convenience though. Carcassonne is only 45 mins from here and Hurn Airport only about 10 minutes from our home address. Failing that it is...

After reading this thread I'm not surprised.

Question 1, does your Td5 already have AC? Question 2 what makes you think you need extra cooling? I have a TD5 and use it to do heavy towing including up the Massif Central, and it is totally standard, never a whisper of an overheaing problem...

Hope all go's well , Ryan air are a right pain these days and bump the cost up at peak times

You may well find you make your car go better and more economically simply by changing the exhaust. I did that to my D1 300tdi, it certainly gave it more low down torque and the mpg was the same or better. As I was going to do a lot of heavy...

I ordered a remote battery cut off relay as extra security, fitted it and it worked really well until I realised that neither by tracker or alarm worked 😒. It promptly got taken back off and I could have rewired both directly to the battery but...

I don't think you were directly insulting but I think you did made insulting comments about me to others that I could see. But there are a lot of people commenting here and I haven't really kept a track record of the level of rudeness of...

This is actually a really good quick read, with lots of info and no fuss.

pwood999, thanks for your rapid repose to me question; much appreciated 👍 I thought as much, having rebuilt numerous vlalve blacks, pumps and replaced loads of airbags on the P38s I've owned through the years. I did soapy water over the...

You know how to live you do. 😁

its pay and go :)

On that basis nobody should ever drive at 35 mph at the lower RPM? If the engine is cooled and has sufficient oil it doesn't matter. But higher RPM is more wear on the bearings, camshafts and cylinder bores.

Here is the torque curve for the engine. I am not concerned with fuel economy. I just want lower RPM on the highway.

Hello, I would like to rebuild my engine, pistons, rings, valve covers, etc... could you let me know where you got the parts? Thank you.
