Recently changed 200tdi master cylinder all went well bleed and working ok. But now i got a quite load click, i think, from the slave cylinder when i press the clutch pedal. Maybe something and nothing clutch works fine. Any ideas ?

Ok thanks for the advise. Order the bits so will build it all up again in the week when Paddocks send me the stuff

yeah i have the locking pins used them last time and i think i fitted the belt correctly but possibly overtightened it or didn't tighten up the bottom pulley enough through lack of the crank locking spanner

for tightening the bottom pulley i havent got the locking spanner, any suggestions to do it otherwise. Last time i put it in reverse with diff lock engaged and had someone stand on the brake ?

i mean the followers under the pushrods all seem free and smooth. i know that sometimes these can break or the seats where the pushrods sit can get damaged. these seem ok but suppose will only tell if these and the valves are ok when i rebuild kits. Hopefully wont need more work, fingers...

I didnt replace the crankshaft gear

Yes did use a new idler and tensioner. I may have over tensioned the belt as i didn't use the LR method just did the it the feel right way like being able to twist the belt thru 90 degrees on longest length. I had thought i'd not tightened the crankshaft pulley enough but it wasn't loose when i...

Please can anyone help. Replaced timing belt, idler and tensioner in Feb 16 since then did about 2k miles. Yesterday engine stalled at 30 mph and wouldn't restart. Obvious no compression so suspected-ed belt. Upon strip down i found this devastation. Seems front lip of crankshaft gear has worn...

Yes removed the pads when i spent all those hours thinking the rumble was at the back! then this afternoon i jacked up from OS and spun the wheel and guess what bearing was shagged popped cap off and full of water. I was convinced it was the rear but there you go. New bearing fitted and much...

so i have checked the wheel bearings again tightened them correctly and although they are free and no play both sides still are a bit noisy. should there be some whirring when i spin the hubs? The noise certainly isnt metallic or rattling like before. Beginning to think there could be some...

Hmmmm - i didn't. I never did the back ones before only from but they are the same. I usually lock them up and turn back 1/4 turn and see how they feel. I will get the right proceed and do them properly, do you think this could cause the load rumble. hubs spin well and dont apprer to have any play.

Hope someone can help. Have 110 with Salisbury diff R380 / 300tdi. Did rear drive flanges and half shafts and fixed the clunk. Discs and pads at same time and one wheel bearing was knackered so did both sides. also did slightly leaky diff pinion seal and new flange as had a big groove in it from...

Thick chuff of black smoke on start up and hard acceleration, improves when engine warms up but still same chuff of smoke on start up even when warm. The truck is thirsty compared to previous 300s but goes like a train. Inter cooler bit grotty but seems clear, hoses in good nick and just light...

I am pretty sure its a later conversion cos the seller told me but you wouldnt know it looking at the truck. The other aspect that concerne me is MOT emmissions test cos there is not CAT and i am sure that the emission limit will be based on the age of the vehicle which is stated on the V5 as...

I have been looking at a 2007 double cab for a good price which was imported from Spain and is in great nick. It is a LHD conversion which is strange in itself but whats funnier is that some one has gone to the trouble of converting to a 300 TDI engine and box and also full dashboard conversion...

Got defender with boost allows and want to put some all terrains or similar on in place of road tyres that on which are 235 75 16 -any suggestions on brand or size ..

Yep just tight in middle back on truck now and all ok - Ta

splines on box look fine and old arm goes up 4mm more without a fight. have tried 3 new different arms now and this one was the only one that went near.

ok so i got the arm on this far see pictures - full nut engagement but didnt go as far as the old one. if i tightened more on the vehicle i am sure the thread will strip. What does anyone think, it certainly isnt coming off
