Its probably full of bacterial jelly...............bit like man cheese :eek:

You will need 2 metres of 8mm fuel pipe [internal diameter] and a couple of small jubilee clips. Cut the pipe just after the sedimenter and push old pipe inside new at least 25mm then tighten the clip . same on fuel sender . Job done. :) Drive off into the sunset with beaming grin :D

Sorry , should have said 20 ltr for £39. 98 .............still a bargain though :D

Im using the 10w 40 semi synthetic in my 300 tdi. api cf acea b3/b4 mb 229.1 its the cheapest and plenty good enough for these engines. I got mine when they had a deal £19.99 for 5 ltr buy 2 get 2 free. So 40 ltr for £39.96 :)

Just a guess .Manual 300 tdi ;)

They say 10w 40 for low miles and 15w 40 for high miles. If 10w 40 get B4/ mb 229.1 and if 15w 40 get a shpd [super high performance diesel] E3 /mb228.3 /ch-4 . The latter are commercial grade oils for heavy duty. B Q do carlube turbo diesel mineral oil that meets this spec 5ltr for £ 12.98...

You must be getting 750 miles per tank ! :D

Do you mean the engine cuts out and dies at 3000 revs?

Rev the engine and squeeze the turbo hose. It should go hard with pressure. If it dosn,t then take the 90 hose bend of the turbo, get a mirror and see if your blades are intact and spinning.

Thanks Biglad, I was worried too much pressure was building up and there might be a problem. If you say its normal I will leave it. :)

Thanks, the tank and cap were replaced a couple of years ago after old one split when overheating. Will try a new cap .

After running round town towing the trailer I popped the bonnet to have a look at the engine and can hear some slight pressure being released from the expansion tank cap. Also a few crystal deposits round the hose connections. The temp gauge has been showing normal at 9 o,clock position. Water...

Looks like the new floor panel is starting to rust already :eek: Check for leaks round the back windows and alpine panels . The water runs down the inside and sits on the floor panel , rusting it from the top side beneath the carpet. I just rubbed it down and painted with hammerite.

Looks like your prayers have been answered then! :D

Europarts are doing 10w40 semi synthetic 5ltr B3 B4 £19.99 each buy two get two free .Thats £1.99 per litre. Offer ends Thursday :)

OK take the **** but the proofs in the puddin as they say. Ive never had a problem with grinders burning out apart from one I bought from Netto for a tenner. I used it all day on a heavy duty grinding out mortar job . It was running none stop all day , eventually it packed up. I took it back...

You sure you didn,t try cutting with a grinder disc ? I have used mini diamond wheels only £2.99 for two at local paki shop. Ive not had any probs :confused:

Just got a 900 w mini grinder from Tesco for £18 .99 ! It takes 125mm wheels or 115mm and comes with two grinder wheels 1 stone and 1 metal. Only down side is no lock on switch so have to keep trigger pressed when working. In a way its safer ,if the grinder jumps out of yer hand it dosent run...

Glad you got it sorted. I did say to bypass the sedimenter with pipe from sender sleeved after the sedimenter ;)

BYpass the ****ty sedimenter ! Mine did exactly as yours does. Look for diesel leak round the sedimenter housing. Bypass it with some fuel line sleeved onto old from sender. Then throw the sedimenter as far as you can into your neighbours gardens ! :D
