Re: Clutch slave/arm does not return

The slave will go to full extension easily without a clutch to press against if you push fluid against it, the fingers of the clutch pressure plate exert a lot of back force, enough pressure to push the release bearing (and the hydraulic fluid) back. That's why it's hydraulic, a lot of force is requ...

Re: 1.9DG aengine metal coolant olpipe replacement.

If you have had it less than 6 months simply return it as not fit for purpose, manufacturing error, there should be no argument, if they push back mention this thread and likelihood of further negative feedback - though peeps generally are less than complimentary about JK on here historically, but t...

Re: Help resolve running isssues please! LHD T25 Vangon Westy 1.9 DH digijet 84-85

Full engine diagnostic procedures for the DH are in the Bentley manual so you should have a copy of that, either digital or paper: diagnostic time can be pretty unlimited timewise and thus expensive, so you are better off doing the work yourself and getting up close and familiar with it. Have you ow...

Re: Which petrol engines.

it will accelerate through the gears really well but be a bit top speed limited or a bit revvy at high speed with the original box, but a petrol box is an easy swap down the line. A JX box would be a better compromise to start from as they have the taller 4th or are the same as the petrol 1.9 5 spee...

Re: 2.1 DJ tune up help please

DJs don't like unmetered air on the intake side, but blowing exhaust less of a problem. MVs can cope with small intake leaks but are unhappy with exhaust leaks as the lambda will read it as running lean and increase fuelling with noticeable effect on fuel economy
