Sometimes i forget ive got this as it barely moves out of the garage. Took it off the road last September and its not moved from its spot since.
Connected up battery, and primed oil system as its been laid up for ages. Unplugged coilpacks and injectors and cranked on starter - oil...
Uch fault most likely - send it off for repair to diesel pump repairs

Assuming you have not had the bar on the crank, i doubt the valves will have suffered too much.
You hve two options really.
Turn crank back and get it to where it was pre lockup, nip it all up and get it to tdc and restart procedure.
Take rocker cover off and pull cams out. Refit it all...
Has it ran before? Can you force ign on to prove card is recognized?
Im not 100% on the wiring for 197 - on 182 i had to bypass the starter relay as it wouldnt crank as immob circuit was not complete - assume ecumaster wont deal with immobiliser.
Antifreeze concentration test should be done with every service to give you an idea on concentration and change it every 3-5 years so wouldnt be concerned with that
If you cant get a decent pedal it will need abs block activating and pressure bleeding. Get a load of fluid and keep bleeding in sequence.
The oldskool way to do is wedge the brake pedal down a little to stop the master/abs block draining and change caliper fast. Never let it drain unless...
Thinking about it i dont think its possible to fit them wrong with the way the flexis fit but have seen it done on other cars which makes them more or less impossible to bleed.
Pressure bleed it.
Vibratechnics are decent enough, and no real noticeable nvh if you use the top one and the top gearbox one, combined with a polybushed dogbone.
Febi prob do an oem style top mount. Failing that the kangoo one.
As soon as i seen the goyou brand on the bearing i knew that would be the issue.
Sadly aftermarket rear discs and bearings have always been poor on these.
Yeah itlll be mapped open loop so ecu wont do nowt with afr reading. I might be wrong but i think itll be mapped in alpha n.
I was thinking better flow on new system - might free up a bit of power/change torque curve a bit with the length and header design. Be interesting to see back to back...
Yep bit of thickness on the back keeps you in the recaro's :D
Regarding power delivery most of the tuners back in the day ramped the boost and torque in low down in the rpm to make the 225/26 feel fast, but sod all power 5k+ rpm.
My current r26 was the same on its old Rstuning map, loads of...
2024 update.
After coming off the road in October last year the Kangoo is taxed and back on the road.
Started straight up no hesitation today first crank. Jacked it up and changed wheels for the white compomotives. Whilst wheels were off checked everything over for mot, all looks OK.
I had...
Bearing only goes in so far, cant imagine it moving out unless seriously bad tolerances/circlip doing nowt.
The bearing is also Goyou - chinas finest. Id bet my bottom dollar the bearing has failed.
Bin the disc and bearing for oem.
