Excellent, thanks very much

Hi , im after the item in the title , I have looked in the rumanian parts listing but cant find the bit im looking for . my master cylinder is pt no. ANR2651 and as far as i can tell its just a straight clevis pin with a clip on the end ...... The rumanian listing shows an eccentric bolt and bushes ,which is for the earlier master cylinder . if it helps my vin is MA129644 Cheers Mike

After a bit more advise guys , Rebuilt my 300tdi engine ,when it was refitted the glow plug light worked intermitantly , ie when starting from cold ,sometimes it would work other times not ! Is there a temp sensor to energise the relay ? the wiring loom around the engine isnt the best with a few brittle wires (due too the heat) ,but the glow plugs them selves are new . cheers for any tips , mike

yea no worries ,i would go with a quality make . Nothing worse than having to do the job again after a short time due to poor quality parts !

Not touched the master cylinder ,its probably original . For some reason there was some plumbers ptfe tape wrapped round the filler cap tho ! when i was refitting the original slave cylinder the rubber boot was torn and generally looked a bit manky and i pushed the piston back in with my finger . Anyway i finish the engine install and have no clutch only a pedal stuck to the floor! , so change the slave for a new (lucas)one . Anyway i will elevate the front end and try bleeding again , if its still the same i will have to fork out for anew master cylinder i guess . cheers Mike

Cheers guys , yea it is the right way up ,nipple on top ! May have to invest in an easyblead then. I suppose a bit of air might be trapped in the damper thingy ? cheers Mike

After rebuilding my 300 tdi engine fitted a new clutch and slave cylinder . Have bled it ,using a one man kit and allso reverse bled using an oil can with tube attached onto the bleed nipple . I can only get half a pedal tho , ie theres no resistance till the pedal is halfway to the floor . Having said that the clutch seems to work fine . Anyway any advice would be welcome , cheeers Mike

Excellent , thanks very much

im after the part no's for the main brg cap bolts on a 300 tdi disco engine , there are two types , one type (2 bolts) is tapped for the oil strainer . The other just standard bolts . Thanks mike

cheers stevie, All sorted now ,pulled the switch out and swopped the lamp with the heated rear window one as a temp measure. cheers Mike

ok so , she failed mot today on a few things , one being the tell tale light not working on the rear fog light switch .(the rear lights are working fine btw ) Any pointers please , such as wiring diagram , how to get the switch out of the dash etc cheers Mike

cheers Eddy Just the info i needed . Mike

What is this unobtainium you speak of ? and where can i find some So does anyone have a straight answer ? Cheers Mike

Hi , my 300TDI fan pulley bearing is noisy / rough when spun. Having had the timing cover off to change the timing belt i noticed there was a plastic cap where the bearing is situated in the cover . Has anyone changed the bearing sucessfully ? I dont fancy buying a comlete new cover , needless to say the haynes manual is very quiet on the subject . cheers Mike
