Faulty tensioner there.

Yep 5 yr guarantee, think last one did 3 years then halfords swapped it no quibble for the current one, which again has been on there approx 3 years. I always write on the battery when fitted and keep the receipts, also done this at work for years, alway makes me smile when boss says that...

Whilst wet belts in my view are a crap idea, I reckon as most are commercial vehicles they will not get any tlc between services, no one will check the levels, and if they do they will get topped it will be with whatever oil is to hand, the services will be overdue and done on a budget possibly...

Battery replacement time again, noticed special programmes off on the dash when first starting after standing for a day or two, this must be 4th or 5th one is just over 10 years? Not batteries fault, just how I use the car or not use it! Anyway retail for the 019 battery was £154 and trade...

I would cap it off because if it gets it vac from the vac pump circuit it night cause brake issues.

Euro 6 onwards, so basiclaly 2015 ish onwards, but anything with a dpf would steer me clear, though my main experience is with hgvs. Even the farmers are trying to avoid the new gear as it is so much bother, I dont think is is the cost though that is certainly an issues, it is the unreliablity...

J Just google ingenium engine issues, then go and buy another make, though I have to say most modern vehicles are just plain crap!

Crank issues would stop most people from buying one in the first place.

Specsavers mate😂

That is a push on type seal, no rivets needed, but might not fit your series without mods.

New fault after fitting reman part would suggest to me the reman part may be faulty?

In my experience as a slovenly mechanic, anyone helping who is not a mechanic will actually slow the job down significantly, so getting it cheaper might not be as simple as you think. When the boss decides to help me by removing stuff, it always causes me more work. They will remove parts in...

I have had a new 200 stats that were no good, one did not open at all, best heater ever!

Belt still might be to tight, I did buy one of them deflection torque wrenches years ago, found it next to useless. When you tear it down, check the inside of the front timing case and see if the belt has marked it, if so it indicates the belt is walking off the pulleys.

Any oil in the coolant? if not I reckon you can discount the cooler. Had truck engine recently, and it was egr cooler causing header tank to pressurise. Had started to strip the engine to do pistons and liners when I took a peek inside the cold end of the egr cooler and saw a coolant track, to...

Bubbles in coolant wont be a rad issue.

Sorry by standard I meant not the angle correction bushes you can get.

How are you tensioning the belt? I find them a fiddle to tension as the belt is so wide it is hard to judge if it is the right tension. Injector pump rear mount bracket still fitted? Might be worth getting a straight edge across the inj pump and crank pulleys to see if they are running true.

My 90, though it is a 200, see the track riod running through that black square lump under the diff? that is the factory fit track rod protector. Though I am not sure why changing the angle of the axle would change the track rod clearance as they are pretty much fixed in relation to each other...

The black rod is the panhard rod, the rusty/dirty one is the drag link, the track rod is the one behind and under the diff that connects the front wheels together. Do not forget the diff pinion bearing is splash fed, and it will not get much oil being that high an angle. Are you sure they are...
