Cheers, I'll grease them then. That's what I thought but helpful to get it confirmed

im replacing the front and rear output shaft bearings on my 300tdi transfer box. Does anyone know whether to grease them up, or smother in gear oil given that's what'll probably keep them lubed up whilst running. Hopefully this clears the whining noise I have in all gears. They were rusty and...

Thanks guys, will try that, thank you

I've looked through all the threads on this, but can't seem to find the answer, so don't chastise me I've just managed to remove all the injectors on my 300tdi and given them a clean up, as I was getting a bit of smoke on idle and more when revving. From the threads on here, it appears I have a...

Done it boys, thanks for your help. I adjusted the steering wheel to its highest setting and it went on with a few swear words

Cheers fellas. I've taken out all 3 13mm bolts. The steering box end slides but not enough for the shaft to allow me to slide the 2 ends on. The spline allows some movement but the end hits the UJ and Won't go anymore. I can't see anything that will allow extra movement at the bulkhead end. Very...

I've undone 3 X 13mm bolts. The end nearest the steering box has 2 bolts, I thought the other end only had one

Thanks Haigy. 2 X 13mm bolts either end is it? Not the funny looking bolt head a third of the way up, next to another bolt with a flat head? Sorry, it's not in front of me as we speak

hi guys, I've had to replace the lower steering column, the piece with UJs both ends. It seems about 10mm too long. There is a funny looking bolt a third of the way down which appears to have a sliding mechanism but God knows what tool you use to undo it to. I don't want to use force to allow...

All sorted guys, thanks for your help. The chap who had it before put a fused wire in to bypass the immobiliser. on chasing the positive back from the starter, bloody fuse had blown.

I've removed both the earth Leeds, battery and starter, cleaned and rebolted. Will try the other bits tomorrow and revert, thank you thus far

Sorry, god knows what that last bit of text is about. Assuming running a +ve feed to the spade terminal starts the engine what's the permanent fix?

So it's the spade end terminal of the solenoid, not the other connection with the nut? Sorry, but first time doing this. So, if I run a 12v wire to this from the battery will it turn the starter motor and in turn the engine. It's a new starter motor. Assuming this works, what's the peHi, can u...

Ok, I've looked at a lot of the threads on here. My 1996 has suddenly decided to not start on the key. I've put a brand new starter motor in it, and charged the battery so it's not either of those. It's not a seized alternator as I've checked that I think it's got something to do with the...

Cheers Hoopfish, checked out the relay and it was that. All now working
