ps I only have clutch about an inch off floor-not enough to clear the pressure plate to put in gear while engine running

hey all replaced clutch master cylinder today with a genuine TRW replacement. all went ok, made the rod length the same as the old cylinder using nuts. now, I had issues bleeding my TD5..but this take the biscuit! I tried a non return valve bleed kit which didn't work. I tried my wife in...

lol....what a ex:)

doing as she does best :)

try advancing your ignition a tad (turn distributor clockwise) or check for air leaks at the manifolds :)

moved fuel line today as when I was stood still in hot weather I got vapour lock (engine died on acceleration...let foot off and away she went) ran fuel line away from engine..fingers crossed it won't get too hot also put an egr blank in my 1.6tdci focus

I'm interested please nobber :)

appreciate the reply Dominic, my breather cap didn't have an o-ring in it so I fabricated my own and now its a really good tight fit into rocker cover..with engine running I can feel an ever so slight puff puff coming from breather cap, I guess this is just recirculated and mixed with fresh air...

Chaps, My 1978 series 3 petrol has an engine breather. Looking at the parts manual it looks like someones fitted a cap from the diesel rocker cover and piped it into the air hose/carb inlet port spout. question: What is the proper 2.25 petrol engine breather? is it ERC2867 piped to the air...

rtv is the norm although I use evostick with success too

muchos gracias. so I stick my dial gauge in no1 plug, rotate on compression stroke and mark pulley when dial stops moving..then rotate it back the other way and marke when dial is fully up/stopped moving-and midway is TDC cheers fellas

ps why rotate anticlockwise? I thought it was a no no on these engines? Is it to take up any slack in bearings etc?

cheers Dr and Dom, I have a DTI that I can attach, its possibly not long enough reach to hit the piston face down the spark plug hole so I will have to attach something to it first. Joe

cum agen say what Doc?

chaps. Fitted a new crank pulley and the new pulley came without a notch in it for TDC! its a 3mb 2.25 petrol, am I right in assuming that as valve 7 (cyl 4 inlet) is fully open then I am at 6DBTDC? Just trying to work out the best way to mark up pulley, or should I stic a screwdriver in...
