  1. Blow them though with a air line I guess would clear any muck out
  2. Thanks Guys head is warped I have a new one to fit Changing rad pump and thermostat to I was just a bit surprised the push rods were bent I had spoke to a couple of lr mechanics abs they both said probably belt had failed as some point and some people try and bodge and straighten them in a vice 😳😳 they Didn’t suggest any other reasons for the bent rods and the engine was running nice and smooth the head I have is a new one from Turner engineering so should be perfect I hope ?
  3. Hello everyone so my 300tdi over heated badly resulting in the loss of coolant really high pressure in the expansion tank and overheating but no other problems no smoke no power loss So I have brought a new head to go on upon taking the head off today the head gasket appears to be perfect ??? So it is possible that the head warped yet the gasket stayed intact or is this impossible ??????? the other Question is upon taking the push rods out 3 out of 8 of Them are slightly bent enough to see by eye I thought then only bend if the belt failed or does this happen through age/ wear and tear i will replace them all just trying to understand If it something to worry about or not many thanks for any help on these two thing
  4. Hi everyone I want to blank off my egr on the 300tdi which I believe with the new mot laws it cannot be removed ? So I guess it’s best to slip a blanking plate between the manifold and actually egr Instead of actually removing the egr completely ? what do most do ? many thanks
  5. I will try that many thanks western great idea One question Am I right in thinking tho if either of the front capilers or the rear slaves were duff eg faulty seals surly they would be leaking fluid from some where surly that would be visible and I would have to keep topping up the master cylinder , is that correct guys ?? Which would then point to master wouldn't it ?
  6. Many thanks puffer nutter I thought that could be a idea to however I have adjusted them perfectly so think I can rule that out
  7. I wouldn't say a hole in the line as I don't lose ANY fluid and I never top it up
  8. Started with Rear passenger Rear drivers Front passenger Last of all front drivers Just checked once the pedal is pumped up if I hold the pressure on it does slowly creep to the floor
  9. Evening everyone Please help as I have major problems with getting a decent brake pedal To put you in the picture Firstly I know how to bleed brake The Landy is a 1987 90 Solid disks and pads on the front Drums and shoes on the rear All discs and pads and drums and shoes were replaced about a year ago The master cylinder was replace at the same time with a trw make ( think that's correct maybe twr ?) Rear shoes are adjusted correctly aswell Problem is when I hit the brakes the pedal goes to the floor this hardy slows her down at all Each pump afterwards builds up to a better pedal but as soon as I take my foot of and reapply the pedal goes to the floor again Regarding the bleeding I have tried the 2 man method AND the easy bleed kit both don't give me brakes !!!! I have used 5 full litres of brand new fluid there are NO air bubbles at all and the fluid is clean !!!!! I am sure there is nothing else regarding the bleeding that can be done !!!!!!! So I am left with a pedal that hits the floor on the first push followed by a pedal that gets harder when pumped !!!!! Then foot off back on then it goes to the floor again !!!! What do I do guys any help or advice please ?? Regards Chris
  10. Ok thanks guys i am guessing i cant do any harm fitting one from the starter casing to the chassis ??
