Hi, did mine a while back, I've got massive hands so yes you can do it without taking the fan out, also replace the gasket behind the water pump as that may well leak later on as did mine, two or three bolts go right through to hold the pump body on to the front of the engine and it will take 1...

Hi, thanks for all that, I'll wait and see what happens and rebuild or replace if it goes tits up, Tots.

further to my previous, when you start her up the noise is coming from lower down. If you start it up with the clutch depressed, no noise, start it up with the throttle pressed down, no noise. I'm thinking release bearing...... but my brother in law had the same and did the clutch and release...

Hi all, when I start up my 300 tdi on an N plate, I get a really horrible rattling sound from the top end until I blip the throttle and then it is back to normal. I'm thinking oil pump as it seems to be dry until I blip it and then oil on the scene and hey presto back to normal. It started only...

Hi, all info needed. I have a 300 tdi on a n reg, done 136 k miles. I was putting on a new alternator and removed the hoses from the turbo to the intercooler for access, inside was a small amount of oil which was spreadmost of the way down the pipe, trouble is you can't really tell how much as...

Hi, about a year ago my water pump started getting noisy right after I gunked the engine, I tried wd40 and and it cured it short term but would always come back so I thought sod it and put up with it until about 8k miles later when the noise got louder so I changed the water pump, all the seals...

Hi all, I drive a 95 disco with a 300 tdi engine. In cold weather I turn on the ignition, wait for the glow plugs to heat up, the battery, which is a year old, turns the engine over sluggishly as I would expect for frosty conditions but the engine won't fire for several turns of the key approx...

Hi all, advice needed here, I have a 300 tdi and am thinking of getting a newer model and have come across a v8 with an lpg conversion. Should I stick with what I've got which is a good runner touch wood? Is there any reason why I should drive a v8 apart from it sounding pretty good? How much...

Can I add that I'm a complete bastard

LPG conversion.....
