Okay, thanks. 👍👍

Rigged all 4 up to their fuel pipes while they were off the engine and got my lovely wife to turn the starter while I watched them. 3 of them spay okay and make a ffffff noise, number 4 the spray looks okay but questionable but it makes a pop noise every time it sprays. I'm guessing that's not...

Ah bollocks, Still not right. 🤔🤔😡😡 Was not driving as the lights are not working but my wife broke down so I had to go and save her. Drove fine but I thought I could see a faint smoke stream but put it down to bring paranoid. Did about 12 miles on dual carriageway about 65-70 Then came to a hill...

Hi all, well, it's been a long 4 months repairing it. In-between work and other stuff but I believe it is now fixed. After stripping the head it looks like it was all eight valve stem oil seals. I've had the pistons out and back in and the head off and back in. Has a slight knock just when you...

Well that's the head stripped. No major problems really. All valve stem oil seals had come off there seat so that would cause a problem. They were genuine elring but all very hard and brittle. Oil in 1 and 2 exhaust ports but could be left over from the runaway? Some of the valves had black...

Yes, my last 300 belt snapped and that did about 6 push rods, not one damaged valve. And yes, I am most definitely going to do the valve stem oil seals. (Elring hopefully) I'm removing them just incase one has bent but unlikely being vertical to piston. Main thing is to check after the over...

I did the head gasket about 18 months ago and it wasn't there then. If you remember at the beginning the timing had slipped a tooth, maybe two on the fuel pump. I don't think that would have caused it. I suppose the over reving would. No marks on the pistons from a valve hitting but that doesn't...

Quick update, it's taking a while due to being busy at work. 😞 Removed injectors and stripped each one and cleaned. Looked like the washers were leaking so obtained new ones, re assembled with ridge towards injector(I'll explain why if I need to) New compression check and I got a really healthy...

Compression test done, I don't know why but I did one cold first. Lol Cold. Hot 1-310. 300 2-315. 275 3-290. 315 4-360. 340 As 10% goes ..... Think we've failed there What is that result telling you guys? I've checked the cyclone...

One thing it could be which is a hard find but costs nothing to check. It can sound like a metallic tap. Head gasket can fail on piston 4 and compression gasses escape. Find the bottom of the cylinder head and follow round to the rear of the engine. The bulkhead is right up against it so not...

New exhaust done but still not running correct. I notice when starting cold now it's difficult, have to press accelerator to start after hanging on the starter for a while. When it does start it almost as if it's on 2 cylinders because while holding accelerator down a bit and not moving it will...

Good it's running better, the 300tdi doesn't always need toppign up. It will find it's own level and stay there. What I mean is, if it drops, keep an eye on it, if it stays there day after day then that's it's preferred level. If it keeps dropping then there is an issue that needs finding. Temp...

New turbo fitted, New cam belt and pulleys. Timing set and valve clearances done. Started and sound okay. Took for a spin. Okay till on motorway. White smoke and lack of power at very top end. After speaking to James Martin it would seem that most of the smoke is coming from the exhaust...

The 300tdi engine should be easy to fill up with water, it self bleeds, did you put a hose pipe on the pipe inlets for the heater to flush out any crap. Previous owners love RTV gasket but put too much on. It then squishes into the inside and blocks things. Mine was terrible when I first got it...

Repair was an option as yes, I can weld and could easily weld a nut to it. My thoughts were balancing, but when I spun I it wobbled. Not like a buckled wheel but like the pulley wasn't central......?

I said it a was sexy as the guy on eBay makes them himself and is round. No wings for each bolt hole to snap off

1 picture, look inside the hole then you will see what I mean....😞

I can't, the bolt hole is actually broken. The outer half of the hole does not exist....lol

Oooooo. I found this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134091393545?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Ov81RLr9Qcu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Sk_RUvbQTE-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Very sexy.....

Hi, does anyone know if the fan belt pulley is available and replaceable? Now, I don't mean the actual pulley I mean the bit it bolts to. Four bolt holes and I assume press fitted to the bearing. Just discovered one of my bolts is loose. On further inspection it is broken. A previous owner had...
