f**k you sealey is it b****cks for the 1.5 dci

I am but Its a 2016 plate car so may be some minor differences but the engine should be very similar. I've got a Sealey pin its 64mm long MOT1489.

Currently changing the belt. Got the bottom crankshaft pin in and the engine won't rotate further. The cam shaft is roughly 10 degrees clockwise past the timing pin hole so even with adjustment on the pully bolts I can't get the pin in. I'm pretty certain it's on the original belt.

So got the bottom pin in but the cam shaft pin will not line up it’s a pin width out clockwise. The tensioner concerns me but it runs fine so. 🤷‍♂️ Thoughts?

Straightforward enough, some of the pipes are a pita to get off but if you don’t care about keeping them can just cut them.

They do but most of them only last for about a year. Figured ppf will last longer and it’s easier to swap over when it does fail.

Ceramic coat still the way to go or has anyone tried using ppf as a longer term solution?

Unclean, Unclean….. Unclean

New gen is tempting, my old stubby already does 90% of the work so I could probably get rid of the 18v stuff.

Yeah Black looks better than I expected
