hi everyone. Ive searched the forum for PAS faults but cant find anything that describes my problem. Nearly killed myself today overtaking. PAS on my 110TD5 is fine under 50mph but any faster and it seems like righthand turn is instant but lefthand turn has a lag. Feels like I make a quarter...

Does anyone know if you should or shouldn't use black mastic or blue hylomar seal with a rocker seal gasket on a TD5 engine. Had my lump professionally rebuilt last year but have had a persistent oil leak that I couldn't find. With the help of a phone camera I can see it is the back of the...

Feel for you mate. I camped out in mine on Saturday at the Pit in Ceinheidre fro the 4x4 extrem. It was bucketing it down all night and I could hear water dripping somewhere. I still have old door seals on mine so I know they dont help but I noticed that the water seemed to come in at the top...

Oh you are that type of person!

Cheers guys been underneath her this morning and had a more thorough scout about. Everything is as it should be. Think that steering damper, shocks and springs are the likely culprit. But i also found that the front radius arm front two bushes are begining to disintegrate. Thats probably...

No need to be rude mate! The T19 exemption came into force in 2014 after I stoped making my own biodiesel and I wasnt aware of it. There is no problem getting caustic soda but you used to have to have a registered business address to order Methanol from a chemical supplier so joe blogs couldnt...

I know its an old post but as I am working on Biofuel research thought it might be useful. First you cant just get old chip oil. Our (UK) government have now made it that you have to have a waste disposal licence to get it legally, and that can be many thousands of quid. Yes you can run a...

This road has been closed by a TRO for a number of years but I had a conversation today with someone who said the TRO had expired and hadnt been renewed. Ive looked on line but cannot find anything about the green lane later than 2015. Does anyone know if it is still closed or if it is now a...

didnt have a preload meter but used the rule of thumb from the book/ewetube about how much effort to move the swivels to get aprox preload and have one shim of appropriate thickness fitted and pin at right torque so probably but not definately not that, thinking it might be shocks too so its...

Dont think its swivels They were reconned about three months ago. Trying to remember when I replaced the damper but its not more than 18 months ago. Thing is it is spot on the button steeringwise, nice and firm no slop and like on rails in corners at 55-60 (unless I hit a pothole when it might...

Ive had a look on old posts but havnt found the answer. Got a shudder, only slight 45-55 mph but its not consistent. On front axle Ive new bearings, stub axles, cv joints, brake calipers but old disks ( which were fine before and have plenty of wear left) and a full refurb of the steering swivel...

having had the engine out of both my TD5 and my 2.5na this year what you need to check is that when the gib/arm is extended to a position that it is centred over the engine is it still certified for at least half a tonne. it might be 2 tonnes lift but that is when the gib is in its shortest...

Not sure these pics will help as had to use my Ipad and cant get right inside under exhaust manifold to show the connections on the back of the pumps

Thanks James Martin. Do you know what M size they are and where I can get two for that banjo?

Ive retro fit PAS on mine. Will try to get you a pic when I can get under the bonnet. first problem I had was the three bolt steering box the previous owner had put (but hadnt put in a PAS pump) It was too twitchy when the pas pump was fitted really dangerous on the road. Replaced it with the...

and of course takes priority! If you can afford it after an anniversay holiday, Im flexible about dates my commitments take me up to early june and I need to be back one day at the end of July other than that free through to the end of Sep 19

Yeah hadnt thought about that. Ive just rebuilt my TD5 engine so im whizzing around at 70mph but no problem with 55 as it would save fuel. Yeah re the hotels. Would still like to build in time for R&R in interesting places along the way like Budapest and in Istanbul. If you are interested we...

Yeah I did Eindoven in 13 hours incl the ferry earlier this month from the same start point in the Landie. Trip Works out 14 days if you do five hours driving a day. But think might do a bit longer driving on the boring bits motorway and the lowlands so that can get a couple of days break in...

Thanks mate, bit late but have learned the lesson
