Ha! a bit of searching turned up a couple of ways of tightening the nut so i'll try again tomorrow.

55 plate Td4 What do you do (apart from set light to it) when the nut in the middle of the tensioner pulley turns instead of pulling the tensioner over. How do you get the belt on?

I guess it was a stupid question, removed the petrol engine today and the clutch and flywheel is exactly the same on both vehicles, ah well you live and learn.

Hi All I'm in the middle of swapping my 90's tired 2.5 petrol engine for a 300tdi, I'm going to put in a new clutch kit but before I order one I thought i'd check a couple of things. I'm going to keep the existing gearbox (unless the splines are fooked) so I have already removed the old...

That would be 2150mm x 1500mm :)

Thanks Lynall, I've read a couple blogs on conversions and a couple of threads on here, am I right in thinking a 200tdi drops straight in, no alterations to bulkhead or engine mounts? The reason I ask which is the easiest is that I want to do it myself, I can spanner most things ok and can...

As per the title really, I'm taking out the 2.5 petrol engine from my 90 (1988) and would really like to drop in a Rover V8. But as I understand it the 200tdi is supposed to be the easiest followed by the 300tdi, but how much harder can it be for the V8??

Have started stripping the front off this morning prior to lifting the engine out so I'll be taking the rocker cover to have a look.

Have any of you ever had a cracked manifold ? and if so what were the symptoms ? I have just bought one and the guy who sold it to me thought that it had a sticking valve (and it still could be that) It starts and runs fine and you can rev it fairly hard and it's fine, but put it under...

Thought I had better re-introduce myself being as my last post was back in 2011 :o I was living in West London at the time and commuting around West and North London with trips into the City as well, I was driving a little MX5 and around the North Circular felt like I was taking my life in my...

Thanks Ridesafe, dont have any exotic lubes but gave it a shot of wd and now all is quiet :D

Hi guys, after searching on here for an hour or so I cannot find anything quite like this little problem. The car is a 98 p38 4.0, I have had the car for about a month now, drive her nearly every day and no probs, until this morning, when breaking, the pedal or something attached to it has...

I've been lurking on here for a few weeks now, read all the bad stuff and still went and bought a 98 4.0, must be my masochistic tendencies :D Had her for a few days now and can only say Fu*k me ! what a great motor. 61k on the clock, full stealer history and runs as smooth as ? well pretty...
