There's a Halfords garage near me --- they do MOTs and air-conditioning --- cheaper than the kit for DIY they sell in store --- odd that ?
Mark put his above the brake light so clearly visible---- he doesn't get bumper riders anymore ---- all I've got is solid steel channel /spare tire and tow hitch----- any car welcome to see how hard it is 😁😁
Yesterday complete strip down on front hub and rebuild outside in the lovely weather and today did other side and fitted braided hoses too ---- tomorrow put 300tdi engine back into disco after full rebuild so should last my lifetime
Put some packing under loop ---- that should cure problem
Got his spare set rebuilt and calibrated this week so fit them on Sunday ---- it's definitely blowbye not fuel did chemical analysis in R&D at work ---- that's how I know it's blowbye 👍
I use a discovery 1 300tdi manual as daily --- yet met a guy who got a 4.6 gems on springs and he getting rid of his TDI --- car makers use cheap items so you replace vehicle every year ---- that's why they all look the same for the woke phone zombie generation
The camshafts are weakest part of 4.4 ---- most post m51 BMW cams are a metal tube with the lobes heat shrink on ---- which means they can and do move --- writing off the engine that's cost cutting at its best
Right then --- today spent half my day at work searching the following info ---- the washer is Put on during injector assembly so you need to strip injector to fit sealing washer Unfortunately you need injector setting machine for reassembly as will effect as spray pattern ---- So as it's blowbye I'm going to try liquid PTFE on treads --- I'll update tomorrow if it works as should
I've got the tools for removing the m51 injectors --- but I didn't want to take 1 out as he still needs it for work --- if I get 1 out Friday I'll see what I can do as far as sealing washer goes 👍 I honestly can't see any benefit of DSE over V8 ---- fuel cost/mpg etc Still if I get a result I will pass information on
I'd put a decent battery on it --- my bosses 322 sport had same issue so nicked battery from Dyno room --- fault fixed 👍👍
I've forwarded the information and now he can either get rid of it to Roverviews and get a td5 or try BMW as per my suggestion --- that's why I think in the big scheme of things the V8 is best option --- seem to cared for more than diesel too ---- from my encounters anyway
Ah he's got a major issue then ---- cheers for that---- I'll let him know ---- maybe time to get something else then
Welcome aboard 👍
As header stated mates got a dies hell and he got blowbye from 1/3/4 injectors --- he needs new seals but can't locate any --- part number might help too ---- it's definitely blowbye got nothing to do with return pipes in case you were thinking that 👍
I check fluid levels every Saturday ---- few minutes can save on big bills
Pity can't use their heads to play football with ---- sounds like a PITA of a job sorting out the problem ---- well done to you for time and ability to do it 👍👍👍
Spent today building a 3500/4600 V8 hybrid basically a 4.6 with a distributor and 4 barrel carb with hilift cam solid lifters and big valve head's --- it's for a mates mk 3 2 door Cortina --- should notice difference to old 3500 I hope
You could try Roverviews 07932141966 he's got 3 diesel engines 2 manual 1 auto out ready to go
Well it's a P38 so it'll soon return or develope another one 😁😁😁
I think it's backlash from digs and drivetrain
