Hi

Thats the engine immobilisation light (Red), basically your truck engine is immobilised. Press the unlock button on the remote to disable it. If your battery is dead or almost dead on the remote change it then in should hopefully be okay(if battery dead will not knock o0ff the immobiliser), unless of course you have other issues.

Regards

hi les

no mate its deff the crank cause last time i done it i noticed a little run of oil coming from the back of the crank gear mate but as ot was late and i needed the motor on the road i thought i see wot happened , lol which is it leaks loads seems worse under pressure thats why i questioned the crank bearing mate !

mik

[CRANK SEAL]

hi cipx

cheers for that not sure it will apply but il look , the sprocket was in a kit not sure off he top of me head who by though ! and put it this way i bought the truck around end of jan , and after a few day i worked out something was amiss i thought maybe injection pump timing slight out or something so i thought id take a look , on removing the timing belt cover out came a gush of oil ! i would say about a cup full , sothe problem was there before i changed the sprocket , but as i said to les its all coming apart again tomorrow so il take a good look at the sproket , i gotta admit im not the best with motors but i can find my way round but this is a real tester !

cheers mik

[CRANK SEAL]

thats wohat i thought about the O ring mate , and yeh the seal had a little grease but not loads like i said il have it off agian the weekend and make sure i do all that you have said plus have a good look at caseing .

les the crank seal is only suppossed to fit flush with the caseing int it ? il let u know how i got on after the weekend mate cheers for yur time !

mik

[CRANK SEAL]

hi les cheeers for getting back mate !

well like i said its sounds ok when running engine that is , and to be honest i never really cheaked the housing that closely but im gonna have to take a look the weekend cause i bet im losing about 50ml of oil if i drive for a good half hour !

As for when seal was fitted it was well tight what i done was sit it square and then put the crank gear on backwards and thightened it up which in turn puushed the seal in nice and square and flush ! like i said before not sure if the O ring is going right home dont think oil would leak from where it is comong from if it was O ring would it .

mik

[CRANK SEAL]

hi

any idea,s ?

mik

[shocks]

cheers guys

I went for the pro comp +2 and straps like woff said couldn,t maon at less than a 100 quid !

strange thing tho i had to have front shocks for the rear as my truck as had some change to the back ,

mik

[CRANK SEAL]

hi les well its coming from behond the crank gear i think but not 100% it coming where crank come through seal ! could it be crank bearing play i say that but there is no signs of play or niose from bearing that i can tell !

cheers mik

[shocks]

hi

I need new shocks on the rear of my disco 300tdi the prob is im not sure which ones to have its lifted about 3" and has doslocating cones so what shocks would i be looking for as u can tell im new to this lol

cheers mik

[CRANK SEAL]

hi all well done as told got genuine part but i still got the leak ! the seal is fitted fine and the crank gear is a new one cause i fitted a update kit , what i have noticed is the the 0 ring at back of gear might not be sitting correct but i would not of thought the oil was leaking from there cause there is quite a but leaking out ! any idea,s

thanks mik

pn 15

hi Re. pn15 i take it thats the crank seal les was talking about ! the seal i fitted was just the rubber sael that that fits into the crank housing behind the crank gear , the one the the back of the crank gear fits into , do u see where im coming from ?

mik

[CRANK SEAL]

Are you using a genuine seal, or an aftermarket one?

The seal should come with a plastic applicator, are you using it to fit the new seal, and are you using a new gasket with it?

Les.

hi les and cheers for replyin to post !

i would guess at it being an after market one it was bought from MM4x4 also i fitted a new O ring i never had a applicator when i fitted it i used the crank seal to push it into place !it was flush with casing

mik

[CRANK SEAL]
