I had the same issue after a new starter was fitted :shock: In case cleaning everything doesn't work...

Don't be too afraid of changing the seals! I gave it a go and now am confident I could get a window out and back in in about 40 minutes - infact I had to when I locked the keys in :roll: Obviously if there is rust around the window that would need to be cleaned up before you change the seals. Having...

Use 2 spanners and try turning opposing directions. This will leave you with one - I used a material (not chain!) oil filter removal tool to hold the pully on the last one!

Hope this helps!

Sounds a hoot!

...So, what's the best way of getting rid of the original foam / rubber underseal stuff? My knuckles are raw from using a screwdriver and knife!

Someone tells me to use a wire brush attachment on a drill, has anyone tried this?

Wow, thanks for the quick reply! :ok Just spent the evening pulling the rubbery foam underseal stuff from the wheel arch seems - chasing the tin worm :evil: . Bloomin hard stuff to shift (foam and worm)! Got a few holes to fill now including this one. Best get some waxoyl banged in this un I guess! ...

Found some plastic plugs under the rear wheel arch, at the front of the arch!

Other than being really good rusting points, what are they for?

Do I need them or can they be filled?

The roller in your video looked rounded on both ends. I find the square ends can sometimes leave a hard line even when you try your hardest not to I'm using these - not tried any others but they seem to be giving me good results. £9 off fleabay (I'm too lazy to go shopping! :run ) I think that ther...

I have a 1.6d and found that the sump bolts were all loose! Tightened them all up and it reduced the leak! Think it is leaking from somewhere else now but I intend to change the sump gasket sometime!

Failing that check it regularly and carry a lot of oil!

Just a thought about soaking the roller!

I haven't tried it but maybe wetting the roller with solvent before soaking will help it absord the paint?

Obviously too much solvent could introduce more problems, but it may be worth a play!

The braided tubes seem to be okay. This is the end injector - with a rubber bung on the last nipple instead of another braided tube - This is split and may be leaking. The only thing is it really looks like bubbles are coming out from the bottom of the injector. :? Maybe they all leak a little gas a...

Thanks for that! Replaced the fuel filter - which was due anyway - and it started without a problem this morning. I have found an injector that is leaking around the base. Can't get any tools onto it to tighten it! Is there a special tool for the job? It seems to be very tight already - if I remove ...

Hi, been looking for info on this but I am struggling. I have a 1.6D and stupidly ran out of fuel - I parked it on a hill on a near empty tank! The van turns over well enough - it is just not firing - no spluttering or any sign of life for an age, then with much pumping of the accelerator it gradual...

After getting some better tools I have managed it! Jody, the bolts on mine are normal - leftie loosie! Trying to turn two bolts in oppossing directions should sort it one way or another - AND it holds the pully in place while you undo them. The last one I undid by putting a material (not chain) fuel...

Ha! Yeah, got the alternator off! Unfortunately my alternator belt is behind my water pump belt! I have hex bolts on mine! I am going to try 2 spanners on 2 of the bolts and push both directions - that way one of the little buggers should move - whichever way they turn! Will let you know which way.....
