Re: Help! Which engine?

AW built the bock for my JX last year. No problems and good service, would recommend.

Re: Cambelt stripped 1.6 TD

Yeah, I'd definitely take the head off and take a look. The IP sprocket is a pain to remove but I managed it without a puller by using two large flat screwdrivers and prying from opposite ends. It eventually popped off. Be prepared that the cylinder head may be cracked as they often are. Cracks betw...

Re: Radius Rod Bush Replacement Video

Looks like the single piece trailing arm bushes have the correct shape:

Harder to fit though.

Bodyshop in the south (Dorset, Hampshire)

Hiya,

Looking for a decent body shop in somewhere south-ish that would do a full re-spray.
I'm in Bournemouth but willing to travel a bit if necessary.
The van isn't too bad but there are a few bits of welding, nothing tragic though.

Cheers!

Re: How HOT does your PAS pump/rack get?

Found the Bentley diagram but it looks like petrol bracketry so it doesn't have the shim on there.

Re: How HOT does your PAS pump/rack get?

Ok, I think I might have found what I've done wrong: https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/shim-t3-diesel-pas-pulley.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It says the shim goes between the pulley and the pump. I put it between the two sides of the pulley along with another shim that w...

Re: How HOT does your PAS pump/rack get?

It didn't pull at all. Everything worked really nicely other than the excess heat.

I took the belt off the pump now and will try to continue without it.

Re: How HOT does your PAS pump/rack get?

Many thanks for replying. I had a look at the lines but can't see any kinks. Both back to front lines are new. The only parts I didn't replace are: * line from reservoir to pump. I had it re-made 2 years ago so should be fine, I also cleaned it with brake cleaner and blew through with compressed air...

How HOT does your PAS pump/rack get?

Hi, I just replaced pretty much the entire power steering system (pump, rack, lines etc) but it's running pretty hot, especially at motorway speeds. I can barely touch the pump or rack. It's a bit cooler when driving on b roads and keeping the revs down. If someone with PAS could please let me know ...
