I have long hair -some call it silver some grey to me it's just forgotten that it's was blond But i take a supermarket plastic packet - the ones with the handles built in - wrapped around my noggin when I change oils cause it takes weeks for the oil to vacate the follicle's. Does make the hair...

Are you planning on only one ashcroft or are the plans for both axles to be blessed ?

I am sure I did it with wheels on the ground. Didn't seem difficult and was logical - was 15 years ago though

If you loosen that nut inside your circle you can then adjust that bolt to free up or tighten

Mine looks completely different with only a single pipe connected to the expansion water tank Might be a diff spec for us in warmer climes But thks

So the male part of the shaft sticking upwards can have 2 types of grooves One is a groove that is basically a slot that would allow the bolt through with no play The other is the male shaft has a groove the whole way around meaning that the tightness of the bolt and nut is much higher then on...

Could a picture of the splitter be posted too show the correct pipes. I thought the length of the two pipes would dictate which go where thks

The crankcase breather hose is the one that goes from the top of the sump to the rocker cover - its about 8 inches long and stands vertically - now now I know some of you lot will have another picture in your head but I can't help you The breather pipe you may be talking about goes from the...

Surely the waste gate/boost controller setup should be the first port of call ? My brain says so Then some fella's say they running 1.5 bar boost - holly molly that 300 tdi must fly

On the wastegate thing. I blanked off the pipe from turbo to wastegate thinking I will get a bit more boost - but no difference at all - and I measure boost on the top intercooler hose. I get 1 bar at full throttle and at best there felt like the wastegate was wanting to open at the 2700 mark...

Revving up the 300 tdi under no load wont make any black smoke. I did the same as you but at most half the twists and turns you have and that little bit extra grunt on pull away is so so nice.

Directly above that is an "elbow" for the water inlet - I have had that weep on me before

"ennui " I am going to use that new word one day - sounds scientific

With the motor running open the cap of the fluid reservoir and it should be easy to see if the fluid is moving. I think it is like a kettle boiling type of movement you looking for Then maybe disconnect the one side of the steering damper and see if it isn't seized

When you say it rev's a bit then "bogs down" Does that mean it sounds like it's missing but the revs are higher than idle speed or does it return to idle speed and idles nicely. Cause that could be the governor acting up as well. Not sure if throwing some injector cleaner thru the system...
