Just uploading to Imgur now and see what happens. New tensioner and belt is on, the old belt was actually ok on the underside with the ribs, no tears etc on that. New tensioner solved the noise issue straight away (Checked by starting with aux belt off first as suggested) With the new tools -...

Ok, this has taken forever! With my internet cutting out then crashing the pages etc it was serious testing my patience. Went out and purchased these.. Any excuse for some new tools huh. AAAAAAAAND now we're at a standstill on the pic front again... GRRRRRRRRRR! Where can I upload tooooooooooo?

Looks good mate! You going to just blast the floor in black and put a matt down or what's the plan there?

Getting 'er plugged in and checking for codes, may be old 'sorted' ones to get deleted off if nothing else gives you a clean slate to work with. Not an engine I know anything about (I generally actually don't know anything to be fair) - but taking it for a good long run up the motorway isn't a...

I'd certainly have a crack if i had another pair of eyes with me. (Any takers if required? Expenses and time will be covered of course). im not scared to get stuck in.. if im foolish and break something then grrr and i buy a new one. An engine however isnt so cheap to replace. Armed with a new...

Currently trying to track this information. Seller says it was done but has no receipt. He has however used the same garage for many years so the search through there system has begun. I'll be looking for a knowledgable member to do the cam belt change for me should this arise.. i'm bristol...

Might be the photo angle, if im understanding you correctly. Truck was bought like this and im going to guess its been like this (belt length) for years. I've got other angles on my thread in the members projects page under LULU. On my phone now it doesnt want to let me grab the pic links and...

Onto that pesky EGR - Note I pulled the vac line before the photo, wasn't driving it with it off. What's easiest way to get to turbo actuator? Will all become clear when I take off that elbow? Also - this side of the block has SERIOUS amounts of oil build up on it, if its the rocker why...

The offending item! Quick search for a replacement reveals many others have been hit by this (not surprised its plastic f.f.s!) Some serious digging later (I do further clean the threads after these pictures are taken) And by the magic of WIFI (although f you sky its cut out 3 times making...

Done a fresh post as hopefully it goes to page 2.. Bit of an excessive upload thus far! Let the water works begin! Top cover is off as it was 'there' and I thought I can clean that while I'm at it. Excited I was, got the tool box out and started my strip - Then something happened which...

I'm still yet to do my to-do list and problems with my purchase and all that fun stuff. One problem I didn't expect was to see water with the truck and to be struggling to hold 50mph on the motorway as the temp guage (when it works - more on this later) is rising closer and closer to the red...

Ewwwwww

Good plan, i've a local bearing shop so i'll get it stripped and add that to the spares box if i don't butcher it too bad getting the b*stard off!

Next effort i'll use my breaker and an additional pole on the end of that and just give it hell.. It's coming off anyway as you say and if i can release the tension off the belt so i can undo it safely that'll be the priority. I'd like to save the belt at this point as mentioned as it'll be a...

LMAO! I'd like to report this post as being truthful and honest and i just don't think thats acceptable. Over.

Oh.. found this in the bathroom... all part of the edits... Cheap snorkle anyone?

Another catch up pics update! I'm guessing your all bored now but hey! Was time while i was waiting for parts to arrive (to come later) to use the best of a dry day and continue my cleaning efforts. This isn't supposed to be a show peice nor do i want it to be, my plan is just to clean inside...

Looks like i'll have to crack off the tensioner nut and try and pop it off its stud that way and hope it doesnt do further damage when i wedge it of.. either to the block or me if it comes out fighting! Once tension is off i'll have a feel around and see if anything has play if i can. If i cant...

How much force should i be putting on this tensioner? Im giving it some serious beans and its not moving at all.. my thoughts at present is she's seized up real good. There is no way i could for example get my hand in to remove belt with the force applied at present. Edit: Resulted to the spray...
