In my discovery 3 TDV6 owners manual is suggest that you run the engine at above 3000 rpm for about 20 min to burn out the acumulated carbon but dont park over dry grass

After spending some time thinking about designing a tool to hold the fan to undo it in the end i went and got a piece of steel13mm x 3mm x260mm long and it did the job one hit and the fan was off now all i got to do is wait for new pulley or...

have a look in the owners manual under DPF and see if it gives any advice

sound like the sort of part that can be 3D printed

Yes its the same as my other one and that comes off easily now with a 32 mm spanner and a club hammer

tried starting up no 2 rangie P38 diesel.hadni been started fo 2 years diagnosed no fuel getting to FIP had a new in tank pump and fitted it started up second time and runs sweet except for a noise from the front sounded like it was belt pulleys...

just tried a know good one and still the same ty for input

May i ask how? I have just put a brand new one in thats the third one and thats the fault readings i get and when cleared they come strat back so it dosent make sense. the earth wires are all good and the engine starts first turn over . and no...

Thank you i will get a new one

tried that still the same also engine light comes on when surging

I have a 1999 P38 2.5 BMW diesel and have fueling problems . I also have a NANOCOM but cannot see anywhere to check the MAF. I have faults logged that cannot be cleared namely GLOW PLUGS FAULT TYPE INVALID FAULT LOGGED CURRENT INTERMITTENT RPM=...

there is a metal ring in the inlet pipe over the engine where the pipe goes into the plastic ipe that goes to the turbo. see photos

there plenty of videos on u tube search for bosch VE pump overhaul

i think the RR sport is a better option or the new defender 90 or 110

The injectors should be tightened to 65 ft lb or 48 nm

WHen im in the UK istay near littlehampton and the goodwood airfield is near and often there is a spitfire flying over and if you have got a spare bit of cash you can fly one...

Yes

i havnt checked the blue sensor but have replaced the green sensor but the NANACOM only gives one reading for the water temerature which wont go above 60 even when the gauge is reading in the center of the dial but when you check the hoses and...

the no 10 is the one for the ECU and is colured green. the no 6 must be for the gauge and coloured blue .but does anyone know the part numbers for them especially no 6 as i hae a spare no 10 the reason i need no 6 is that the Nanacom is not...

Does anyone know where NANOCOM reads the engine temprature. Is it the front sender unit on the head as my Nanocm does not read the water temperature above 60 c and im sure its running hotter than that but the car gauge is reading right in the...

Are you sure its the injector leaking and not the leak off rubber pipes also the no 4 injector is expensive mght be an idea to add some injector cleaner to the fuel.

Thank you

i went to start my 1999 diesel and was getting no fuel to the FIP . i know its controled by fuse 39 but dont know which relay to short out Im sure wammers has covered this subject but cant find his post so would appreciate it if anyone could tell...

Diesels ahould have a seperate rad under left hand side front bumper

are we talking about the ball on the throttle activator being in the slide on the pump shaft if it not in the probability is that it will not run and also if the top housing is to far fowaed it wont run has this pump run at all? are you getting...

the wires are broken right where they go into the sensor i tried to scrape back but cannot get enough to solder on to i think they were trapped between the pump stabliser plate and the block here the plate bolts onto i found on mine the oil light...

anyway the timing sensor is the one i need so if you have a spare one or know of any i would be gratfull if you would sell it to me but dont deprive yourself as they are hard to come by

this is what i think is the stop solenoid

that is the solenoid i want but i still think it is the timing solenoid as the stop solinod is on the top of the pump because this solenoid controls the slide that is attached to the ring that moves the pump cams to advance and retard the mechanism

the stop solenoid is on the top of the pump at the rear this solinid is at the base of the rear . the stop solinid has no wire coming out of it.
