    What engine is this??

    on my D1 that cover plate is the slide used for the aircon belt tensioner and I have removed that on occasion to access the 3 bolts holding the timing belt pulley to advance or retard the injector pump timing while experimenting

    Disco 1 Axle Advise, 300TDI

    For the trailing arm return I have found that using two jacks works a teat - and don't tighten up the nut on the radius arm to chassis cross member one jack under the axle and one under the bottom of the radius arm i bet you the second side that you do will be a quarter of the time needed for...
