I can check my PMs but I haven't been on here in years so probably best sending them through again please

The left side is probably a wee bit heavier than it should be and the right is fine. Happy to pop round and give it another look over though if you want

Checked the preload twice now and its not made any difference.

Wasn't me that asked, I still haven't gotten to the bottom of my issue

Just as an update on this unfortunately the a frame balljoint being replaced still hasn't sorted the issue so at the moment it's been put on the back burner till I can figure out what else it could be

I'll replace them as a matter of course as they'll be original so just a bawhair off 30 years old at this point.

If that permanent live to the aux fuse board is coming straight from the battery then the draw from your glow plugs shouldn't have any effect on it. It seems much more likely that the cables chaffed on something and earthed against the bulkhead

I think the wastegate was seized a little so I've freed that up and I've also found that the right angle hose from the turbo is swelling under acceleration so I'll replace all the hoses. If still no luck I'll need to check the boost. I wanted to check the boost diaphragm but the screws are...

Nope, and no EGR. Checked pick up pipe last night and that's clear, I also looked inside that tank and it's immaculate inside too. What I did find however is that when I removed the fuel filter I got a ton of diesel chucked out at me which isn't normal, it's as if it was held in there under...

Well that made absolutely no difference. Replaced the boost control pipe and the air filter for good measure, im just back a test drive and unfortunately it's still exactly the same. I can hear the turbo spooling up in lower gears and I've no problems with power in 1st, 2nd or 3rd but as soon as...

Saddened to hear of the death of music legend Ozzy Osbourne

Happy new shoes btw

Suspect this may be my issue then. All other turbo hoses fine apart from this, the boost control pipe from injection pump to turbo has at least 1 pinhole worn through. Going to get a new one today and see if that sorts it
