I have used their o/s inner wing section, needed a little fettling to fit perfectly but that's normal with most pattern panels. I would say it was good for the money.

Had mine almost 4 years now 1997 300tdi auto and done 151,000 and its just let me down for the first time, and I cant fix it, looks like it may be the diesel pump. I have got to bite the bullet and pay to have it diagnosed as all my efforts have failed and I am expecting a big bill :(

I am very pleased to say its all fixed. Checked the pump and I had fuel at the injectors, but she still did not fire, so I dug through the garage and found an old tin of easy start, squirted that into the snorkel and still nothing, not even a splutter?? There was however a very strong smell of...

I will check for fuel when I get home this eve, cheers for the reply

She won't fire up, not even a cough or splutter, so something is wrong????

I used steel box section http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/rear-anti-roll-bar-bushes-2-lift-194594.html .

Its all back together but the battery is flat so its on charge now. Will let you know when she fires up (fingers crossed)

I have used new veg oil when its cheap, but mostly used oil converted to bio-diesel and then its running on 100% and no diesel.

At this point tonight, all ready to reassemble tomorrow. Everything has been cleaned, I have removed the injectors, they will be cleaned and refitted with a bit of copper grease and new washers. I am surprised that it was not really coked up or anything, the valves wiped clean with a bit...

Well its off, if thats an easy job I'd hate to do a hard one :( I cant see anything obvious thats wrong with it, but there again I cant get a nut undone without advice :o Heres pics of both sides of the gasket, the head and the block

James I love you :D I would have never figured that out

Cheers James will try that in the morning :D

I must be stupid James, how? Its the centre bottom nut on the exhaust manifold I am on about, I can just about feel it let alone see it and keeping a spanner on it is almost impossible, my arms and wrists are scratched to bits.

It got worse yesterday after driving ok all week, so popped into island 4x4 tonight on my way home and got a gasket kit. Spent 3 hours getting this far, there is one nut under the centre of the exhaust manifold, i have got it loose but its taken me an hour to undo it about 3mm so have given...

I will do photos of the gasket and the whole job as may help others in the future

Cheers Dragonwalker as well :)

Cheers for the advice James looks like I have that job next weekend

When the tank split and I replaced it, the coolant was flowing from the thermostat housing bubble free and the tank was held high while i filled it. I will have another look at it tomorrow

It turns over sluggish like the battery is low and takes a bit longer to start and its popping and back firing if you try to rev it and you cant see for smoke, then it settles down after 5 mins or so and you can drive off ok, did 40 miles no trouble until I stopped for 5 mins then it did it again.

if its loosing water its minimal as just checked and the expansion tank is still half full and hissed when i undid it and its been standing for 3 hours
