All fixed. Had some spare time today, it was the copper seals. One of them was badly eaten away from where combustion gases had been passing. Phew, at least it was an easy job.

It just cut out on the Mrs, seals , filter, valve ordered. Just gonna replace the lot.

The local Kandy dealer is utterly useless. The AA fixed what they couldn't on our 3... What does that tell you. I'm inclined to think injector seals. If it was fuel filter it would be struggling for fuel all the time, but it's not. It's just become a starting issue now. I wonder if the...

Hmm it's still playing up. Runs ok but starting it needs a couple of primes

I've just managed to get it started by towing it. Took a while then it burst into life Starts off the key again 40 minutes later Hmm do i trust it? Got to go to thurso on Monday....

Hey up I bought a 2003 td5 to tie us over whilst I get round to sorting the disco 3 out. Of course last night the little swine started playing up... It had been a bit harder to start for a couple of weeks, needing a good few cranks and pumps on the throttle. On the motorway, started just...

Fault finding is my hell. I got asked if wanted to head up a commissioning team on a big nuclear project the other week. No thanks, I'd rather hack off a testicle with a spoon. I much prefer "this is the problem, please can you fix it"

Move to the countryside?

Blimey I'm not that methodical. I'm bodging as i go. ;) I'm only powering it up when I'm not underneath it. There's no air in it, so if it did lift suddenly, once started, I can quickly cut it off. Would be nice if it did lift :p

Lol I'm not doing that. I just test to see if any air at all is going to the bags. And it's not. Yes I have lots of pneumatic pipe kicking about, so I'll just run new lines of needs be. I clamped it right next to the valve so I may just get away with chopping it shorter.

I may have tugged it a fair bit trying to do that sodding rear valve. Will get on it. It's on a stand on the left rear side, wheel off. Will just be changing the one air strut that's blown. Cos I'm tight. Using the iid tool to manually control the aur solenoid, it refuses to fill any of the...

Yeah I checked the silencer, could find any air coming out at from all the silencer. I can't get the rear to raise, it's on axle stands. I'm suspecting the airline between the middle valve block and the rear has got a leak.

I'm going to have another go tomorrow mate. Reached the point where you just need to stop. I'll get the soap out tomorrow. The leak sounds like it's on the pipework between the middle valve and the rear one.. but hard to tell. The soapy water should work, as you say. Need to get something to...

Ok... It wants burning!!!! Rear air bag nuts were so corroded I couldn't get them off. Tried some Irwin extractors and nope. Temporarily bodged the bag back on with cable ties just to see if it will inflate. Can I Eck The reservoir pressure wouldn't go up. I clamped the rear air line and...

seems that people on apple devices are having less issues. Ill give it a crack with the ipad. I couldn't understand why the ap wouldn't install on the Samsung tablet. Im not down with the kids in terms of IT equipment.
