Hi all, finally got my truck back after the engine change from a JX to 1Y and having a few teething problems. First is a sort of whistle (almost sounds like a turbo whistle but higher pitched and squeeky) this happens when changing down gears and only when I engage the clutch, it goes away straight ...

I'm not sure, but I've checked the oil before and it's shown on the dipstick so I hope it's long enough.

total saga but looking like I might be on the home straight. Got up at 8.30 and my girlfriend stayed in van while I visited every one of Bristol's motor factors looking for the right thing, turns out they don't like it if you can't quote your reg number, no traffic warden though, typical! Ended up a...

Thanks all. No luck at halfords, will have to get up early and find one in Bristol before the tragic warden gets there!

Thanks guys any idea roughly how much oil I'll need?

Typing this from my phone by the side of the road, looks like my sump nut has fallen out and there is no oil in my engine. I might have been lucky but I now desperately need to know what size plug I need and can I get it from halfords? rha only place likely to be open! also which oil? thanks. Aargh.

ok will get that sorted asap! Does anyone have experience of doing the 1Y inlet manifold work as described by caveman and be willing to do it for me?
Thanks.

great info thanks caveman. Excuse my ignorance but what's a run away?

ok, so a bit confused now. Everything I read said the 1Y was a good upgrade from the JX. Is this not the case? After driving the 1Y pickup I can see it doean't really go any faster but it does seem more solid at higher speeds. Well my JX is wrecked anyway so I could turbo the 1Y but then my MPG woul...

http://i537.photobucket.com/albums/ff333/mrkev_01/8ecb4bea.jpg My JX decided to throw it's toys out of the pram in a major way this morning, after a bit of googling looking for a new engine I stumbled across a single cab for sale locally with this engine which the owner claims is a 1.9d out of an 0...

Would it be these guys?

Trying to keep the elements away from my single cab bed I thought I'd look for a cover. But there don't seem to be any for sale anywhere, unless I'm missing something? Also I thought about hoops and a frame to make something like this http://i.ebayimg.com/07/!!tWRJp!!m0~$%28KGrHqN,!gsEzrjspui%28BNEJ...

Please be gentle, I'm a total noob, but I've had a dig around and couldn't find much on this one, probably because it's so simple. Could someone give me an idea of what is required to change the turbo oil return pipe? (I think that's what I need to replace!) is this possible with some spanners and a...
