He’s been keen since it’s now Outside where he can work on it. So much so , he’s got it cranking again and now chasing the fuel issue. Wonder if he’ll get this running and use it on go overboard like the blue one and sell it pmsl!

Just what I need , another french baguette in the workshop…. I’ll have you know, I’ve actually dug the 11 and the mk1 out from round the back, Nat’s got his mk1 out as well. azz already cleared my spare parts out so I know where all the Frankenstein derv parts are… we’ll put them in the corner...

Used ls932 On pretty much all the F series Renaults I’ve worked on. No issues. Then again I’ve used a fair few Bosch filters

At this rate , as I don’t want to miss another year , the vivaro is getting tracked @DaveDreads best fit a tow bar to the clio …. 🤣

That is going to be a c**t to change as I bet the tensioner will now be siezed 🤣

Also do as the chap above said , get another decent fuel filter , and with your old one , cut it open without making to much mess and see if it’s full of metal filling from a failing pump

That nozzle has blown down to some sort of wear or extreme heat expansion , common enough on diesels, can sometimes cause hard starts or rough running due to the injection needle not Seating fully in the nozzle, and the nozzle holes not spraying the correct pattern. yes the injectors can be...

That sounds to me like a bad injector. Leak off might not show much but getting injectors tested will give you a better idea. Obv using sniff to start it will help as that’s ether, more easy to combust than diesel , and will help wang the engine over more to build pressure up. I’d be getting...

Need to do the dead head pump test with the correct Delphi kit to see if it can produce the correct amount of bar. Have you tried giving it a tiny bit of sniff to see if it’ll start and keep running ?

Then again throttle body was off the 182 that’s been sat for yonks.

We did change that then it threw a hissy fit and wouldn’t start at all with the solid red light came on.... Wondering if the loom above gearbox has a half broken wire in it. Those lambda wires seemed to be ok, got resistance checked to and from ecu plug , and load tested wiring to the plug...

In the fact there’s a smiley face on the floor ( looking directly between the crank 🤣)

Don’t know about dewalt ect but I’ve abused my wilfookies at work daily for 3 years and they’ve never stopped working , even dropped my 1/2 gun from high up and it survived ( battery fell apart but still works lol ) usually see them come up onsale at euros/ toolstation as a kit for decent coin

Silicon slider grease. An the tiniest amount of Pad grease of the ears to stop the getting corroded fast and sticking. ( apec do brake grease ) clean everything up ie all matting surfaces the pad has contact with. Callipers ears , carrier , piston ect General rule of thumb is a tiny amount of...

bottom end knocks on these sound like top end knocks. if Chris pulled the sump and took the main caps off one of them will have span , or rod bearing. injector knock will have it chucking smoke out the exhaust as it’ll be overfuelling. Cam rattle doesn’t sound anywhere near as bad. id also...
