2025's in mine, paid £3.19 for the pair at Wilkinsons

Hi Tony Always use new bolts as they are stretch bolts. Over the years indirect cylinders head always seam to crack between the exhaust and inlet valves. A good engine refurb shop should be able to fit wedges and remachine them, they will also need to fit new valve seats. I would also...

The Classic soft dash definately came with a 300TDI, I had one of the last with an auto box. It is the same as the one fitted to the later mk2 disco. Alan

If its a Soft Dash then its in the passenger footwell on the left hand side.

Steve did yours come with any instructions to adjust the digi pot to give better performance? If so how far did you adjust it. Alan

Not had any problems with Paddocks, just their preferred carrier Fed-EX. Have use MM 4x4 and LR parts in Liverpool, both easy to deal with. Alan

Got my PSI box with K & N air filter from M&M for £314.00, cheapest I have seen on the net so far. Alan

We are up for Southend subject to work commitments

Just chopped my softdash classic in for a DSE. I'm still towing the same twin axle caravan, weighing in at 1900kgs, but fuel consumption is lower than it was with the 300TDI auto. I used to get 25 mpg towing, but now I get between 19 - 20 mpg. Mine is not chipped (yet) but I did manage 30 mpg...

I'm with Britannia Rescure, only used them once, no problems, our caravan is 26 1/2 feet long. Alan

Never stop asking questions, photos do help. I've just moved up to to a P38, and they are a different ball game to the RRC. Keep up the inquisative bit. Alan

Keith I'm up for thisbut it depends on when and where. Alan

I agree with F1roborbob, I tow a twin axle at 1800kgs and without the powerbox it is hard work to get up to a reasonable cruising speed. Alan

Just upgraded from a Soft Dash auto TDI to a 1999 P38, love the looks and the interior, but I think the old TDI had some balls about. I find although the BMW engine is revvy, its not got the same get up and go I had with the TDI engine. Otherwise I'm happy. Alan

I had the same with my fleet of Volvo trucks, the issue was with the fuel, it was an organic growth. At the time I was using Bio Diesel, I had to clean out the fuel tanks and flush out the fuel system. I now only use mineral diesel and no problems. The company that carried out the lab tests on...

Any had experience of fitting just the air springs to the housings on a Classic RR. Cost wise they are working out a pair of springs for the price of 1 air bag at Island 4x4. Is this the best way to go? Yes I have fitted coils some time back but want to go back to air.... don't ask why.

Forget that V8 GM, right pain as been said not much difference in fuel consumption that a V8 petrol, brakes don't work properly, due to the weight of the thing. Also look at the basic thing insurance, I had costings for one, my insurance company at the time wanted another £150 from me, even...

Hi Andy As has been said already take your time use an engine, Reove the rad and unbolt the gearbox first and put a jack under the bellhousing, both engine mountings and disconnect the throttle cable and any parts of the wirng loom still attached. Alan

I've had a simular problem on my 300 tdi, but number 4 injector, it wouldn't budge. I had to take the head off, for machining, the only way the engineering shop got it out was to heat up the head and let it cool. My current problem is that the head is back on and No. 4 won't go back in, I need...

Hi Each injector has a fork shaped plate holding it in. Just undo the nut and the plate should come off the stud and injector. If you use a 15mm spanner on the flats at the top just by where the leak off pipe was fitted, twist the injector left and right to loosen it, the they should just lift...
