Ok, I've removed the turbo and sent that away for refurb and finally last night managed to get the visous fan off. I assumed that this would give me clearance to simply lift the intercooler out through the gap where the fan was but no joy, it still seems to big for the gap. The rave manual...

Ok thanks. I use waterjet machine so have cut them on that. I'll try and take a look in the light and hopefully all will make sense

Hi PPP38vouge thanks for the pointer. I have printed out the instructions I have found including the links to copies of pages from rave but its just that fron a quick glance I cant make out the 2 bolt heads that I need to lock in place (assuming it wont shock off). Also, where is the how too's...

Hi, Im in the process of removing my intercooler to give it a clean out and I need to remove the viscous fan as the intercooler appears to come up behind the rad. I have cut myself the 2 spanners required (LRT-12-094 & LRT-12-214) and aim to remove it this weekend as the cars currently off the...

Removed my turbo for a refurb and attempted to remove my intercooler (without success!), what a pig of a job the intercooler is turning out to be.

Ok out it comes then. Typically it looks more work to get the intercooler out then the turbo

Ok thanks for the replies, so is there no way of being able to to this with it still in the car?

Since May this year I have been having a nightmare with my L322 TD6. Started with a blown turbo, my normal garage were closed at the time so rather than be patient (first huge mistake) I took it to another garage. Very long storry short, the engine was sent away for a full rebuild along with the...

Hi, Thanks for the reply, may sound a stupid question to ask but are the induction hoses the ones going straight onto the turbo? Also, when I take a look at the turbo is it better to get to from the above once the plastic engine trims are removed or from crawling underneath? Ive just gone...

HI, I realise its pretty impossible to diagnose faults from a bit part description but here goes. Over the last few week I have had some extensive work carried out on my early HSE. I suffered from turbo failure which resulted in some nasty noises heading from my engine, loads of smoke etc etc. I...

This is the same as the one I fiited to mine and works a treat (pics on p2) http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic32854-15.html

In a word no, I done it last year and brought the ribbon from AK speedo, you need to log onto their website with a password for the instructions. From memory there are 2 small screws which are hidden under the plastic rear cover hence the drilling. I'll find the seller on ebay as from memory...

Fair enough, the kit I brought it said you had to hence I did (you didnt have to remove the needles etc). Worked fine though so happy with the end results.

I done both the dash cluster and radio myself, its pretty straight forward. Imo the dash cluster was the easier of the two, slightly nerve racking as you have to drill a couple of holes in behind to expose some hidden screws but other than that very straight forward

Changed my crankcase oil breather, cleaned and blanked off my egr valve.
