    Inlet/Exhaust Manifold gasket replacing

    Did it this morning. Complete novice mechanic I am. I had already removed the inlet manifold to clean that anyway. Took me an hr to remove all bolts clean them up, removed the gasket and cleaned the face. New gasket in and did the bolts back up. Three studs had the bolts seized so after Removing...

    Inlet/Exhaust Manifold gasket replacing

    It's 300tdi. I think I'm best to have a go at the bolts and see how I get on. Face the consequences if one snaps lol.

    flexible arches and inner front arches

    My front inner plastic wings I ripped out, it only allows mud to trap underneath and rot the wings. Take the wing panel off, weld what needs welding, prime it, paint it and waxyoyl it then rip the plastic bit off the wing panel, stick the panel back on and then you can jet wash it all clean when...

    Inlet/Exhaust Manifold gasket replacing

    Well I have two hours tomorrow morning before work, I soaked the nuts in GT85 this morning to hope it frees them up. Ill give them another soaking tonight. In other words don't rush it and its simple enough? Do I take it all apart or just prise it back?

    Inlet/Exhaust Manifold gasket replacing

    Tyres + how much are mine worth

    That's the answer I was hoping for, at least it contributes to my new pair of boots. Any suggestions on a nice tyre for a good price. I like your tyres on your thread.

    Tyres + how much are mine worth

    So 2nd hand remoulds are worth nothing? Probably just stick em on ebay. Contradicting views all over the forum regarding remoulds.

    Wiring Light bar, help required.

    I haven't been on last two days properly but I've been monitoring it and I've been out shooting tonight and it's had some use down the lane and seems perfect. Cars starting fine no problems. The only problem I do have is the light is reflecting in the windscreen and actually hindering my view in...

    To Buy or not to buy

    It's a bit pricey if in fair condition I'd expect to pay around 1100, time of year though I suppose. Just poke everywhere for rot and ask the owner to jet wash the underside before viewing. If it's caked in mud you won't see the rot as well. I bought a rot box and didn't quite know what I was...
