Buy yourself one of those diamond sharpening plates - loads better than an oilstone that doesn't stay flat. I bought a very expensive one when they first came out and it is till in use 25 years+ later. This 3 piece set is 5cm x 15cm http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DIAMOND-WHETSTONE-SET-OR-FILE-SET-TOOL-G...

ok so today i started taking the broken studs out, it was a bit of a ball ache but i got there in the end, http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a374/jhezzer/t253_zps92b6ed1d.jpg i gave the manifold a clean down and re tapped the threads to clean all the crap out. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a374/...

Heat on the bolts will help loosen them but if your really stuck milling them out on a milling machine will work, you can then re tap afterwards, an engineering shop can do this for you or if your near to Coalville Leicestershire i am happy to do it for you. appreciate that matey, a bit far for me ...

ok so my studs have snapped on my turbo manifold, had a nightmare trying to get the special bolts undone that hold the turbo to the manifold finally found the right socket :) http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a374/jhezzer/84c7a222-e06a-4bdc-8f47-4005f9c42d28_zpsf53b327b.jpg http://i15.photobucket.co...

lol this voltage stabilizer has now been changed as the legs had been broken hence the soldering job looked a bit dodgy, it now looks like this the connectors on the plastic circuit are broken http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a374/jhezzer/voltag_zps79d7650e.jpg i am gonna slip a little heat sink un...

still having problems with this

ok just changed the voltage regulator over


everything seems to go up slower but gauges seem to just hang in the middle

ok so i have tested the voltage reg, tested with the ignition on and on leg A i got about 7ish volts, turned ignition off go no voltage at all. ok so i tested lilac black wire on the connector block again i got about 7 volts/ i did test the voltage regulator with the van on tick over i got 13/14 vol...

ok so tonight i changed the resistor the oil light now works. ok so i tried a different dash pod on to night the water temp light just flashes, this did this every time i put the ignition on, the light has stopped working altogether now. the fuel gauge does exactly the same as the other dash pod, co...

ok just smoke coming from the second resistor from the right http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a374/jhezzer/20131006_174937_zps7d58eb09.jpg it looks as if it goes to earth correct me if i am wrong. could that be a bad earth or a short somewhere, basically the 22 ohm resistor keeps burning out.

i will just get me coat
