Black Nasty, as we used to call it

Oh, the joy of Tdi..........

Bbq?

Love the sound of it. PLEASE make it possible! You can use my trailer for a petrol tank........

Great looking truck, and like the man said, the 300tdi is pretty bombproof. It's also easy to fix when it does go wrong, so GO FOR IT!

Like he says, a piece of ****. I've done mine a few times, but make sure you put the new HG on the right way round, or you end up with oil everywhere. Like me.........what a prat!!!

Unlikely that both are knackered. Best to drain front and rear axles and check diffs for bits of broken metal. Likewise for T box, and gearbox. Then you will have a better idea.

Tungsten carbide hacksaw blade is also useful, for when you can't use a grinder

And standard 235/70, or 205's. Not 235/75's

The head gasket has gone on my D1 and I need to get to Gloucester in the morning to pick up our horse. Anybody fancy a trip from Nuneaton to Gloucester in the morning. PLEASE!!!!:doh::doh::doh:

Just make sure it's decent stuff

Wheel bearings are easy. Just remember that the mangled mess of metal you take off used to look like the new one once upon a time. And plenty of grease!!

Don't know, but bent axle casing, bent front trailing arms, or as you say, misaligned axle. Have you measured front and rear axles, centre to centre, front to back?

Not sure what you should have, but my 300tdi has a 120A/H. It seems to work well.

I'm sure there is somebody in your neck of the woods would come and hold your hand if you ask. Its a bit far for me, sorry

Alternatively, save your money and just use the gauges and dials you've already got.

+1, tyres and diff guards. Oh, and decent maps. Important to know where you can and CAN'T go. Have fun

If you have an engine hoist it makes life easier and safer.

Before you part with your cash, undo the drain plugs on both and check for big lumps of metal. If there are any, apart from filings you may have issues. both plugs are magnetic so you should be able to tell quite easily.
