For anyone still watching this thread.. I've fettled but to no great effect... oil changed anyway. What I've found is; With the hose off from intake manifold to intercooler - I'm getting allot of white smoke/oil vapour from the intercooler and when I revved the engine it seemed to spit oil up...

Give me the money, the space, the time and the skills and I'll get right on on it!!! In all seriousness, I'm on board!!! :D

will update after the fettling tomorrow! Cheers.

weird weird weird... just been out to pick the girlfriend up, same route as earlier but no tapping.. if I'm not mistaken it actually seems to be smoother.. apart from the idle which is rough as ever. Also, I think I noticed some hesitation prior to the turbo kicking in which is a new one but...

tapping noise tends to come in at about 2000 rpm.. Its been pretty stable over yesterday but got really quite noisy when pulling up a hill today.. Cheers for the help by the way!

Oil change tomorrow, will have to whip the rocker cover off and take a look at the tappets. The tapping seems to get worse under load, would that still be tappets?? ... so good i wrote it twice...

hmmm. oil change tomorrow and hopefully whip the rocker cover off and have a look. The tapping certainly seems to get worse under load... would that still happen if it was tappets?

Nope!

So as to oil starvation, do you think it is related? I would imagine so? Also, does anyone have any idea what the smaller vaccum pipe is for? It tee's off the main pipe from pump to servo, runs across the bulkhead and disappears through the bulkhead on the passenger side. Thanks for the...

Thanks JM. Oil light goes out when the engine starts as normal. I assume crank case pressure could cause lumpy idle? But could it be the cause of tapping? I once had a fiesta :o that started making a very similar noise and very soon died!

Hello All, In need of help again... I've neglected my landy and now I think I'm going to pay the price. Last week I finally got around to checking the oil (after some time), only to find that it had none (well none showing on the dipstick). Who knows how long it was low for. I have since...

ha got something similar.. replaced the springs with second hand HD ones and still no change... watching to see how this pans out! :rolly:

Doctor Evil... Proving gaylanders are worse than tratters once and for all?? That'd mean tratters are bad but just not as bad... How dare you! ;)

Sounds reasonable to me..

Thanks for all your help. In the end I did a bit of both and split the nuts as best I could (the top washer won't allow you to get the nut splitter fully on) which loosened them and then gripped the shock top shroud with a filter wrench to brace against the socket wrench undoing the nut. After...

Nice thanks. :D Had a good read of your posts and I'm hoping friction plate springs!

Thanks. If it's a crappy clutch plate, whats the worst that can happen? Will it break up? Thanks for replies!:blabla:

What's that tool you have there then? I could do with one of those! Cheers!

hmmm. yes. I did wonder about lifting turrets and shocks out as one piece (and possible renewing shocks). However, I have just invested in some nut splitters. :D

Good idea but the top stud turns independantly from the bottom section of the shock and the top is in the turret. I think I need to split my nuts! :eek: Will have to get some nut splitters, any idea where I can get them? Thanks to both.
