look for a cheap disco they can be had for as low as £300 for a rot box which propbaly aint far away from wot you would pay for a td a tdi is well worth having over a td

fortunately the engines not mine! I think it head gasket

so if the valves are shut longer, is it possible that it could cause more crank case pressure to force oil out?
-
If the tappets were massively out of adjustment on a 200 tdi, say .040 +, rather than .010 what would be the symptoms? would it cause: misfiring excess crankpressure forcing oil into the air cleaner more noticeable engine braking thanks Dave

at a recent pay n play day Isaw a couple of motors shod with the fedimas, the ones with the same tread patterns as the simex ETs. Where the side wall met the tread they were all mishapen all the way round - its almost as if the tread has been put on in about 8-10 sections - are they supposed to look like that?
-
looks like Darth Vader! " feel the force Luke....."
-
what about an ARB compressor, does this need emptying as well? I have never done this with mine!
-
that White 90 is looking a little dented these days!

To tap in the bearing inner races I use a spare large (massive) washer from the front radius arm bush where it meets the chassis - fits a treat. unfortunately me and wheel bearings dont seem to get on, so thanks for the thread Les there is some helpful stuff in there. ...and blue grease, nice!
