Turbo Diesel 1.6 engine
Does anyone know the correct code for the lower v belt between crankshaft pulley and water pump. The one adjusted with shims?

Had a similar problem a few years ago. Lubricated the catch at the rear of door with WD40 and it solved the problem? Worth a try.

Not a great amount of fliud. Cleaned up and test pedals over a few hours but no further leak has appeared yet. Fliud leve...

Mike Will be applying sealer between fibre glass hitop roof and steel roof then squeeze in seal before it goes off. Seal is a snug fit over fibre glass so should think this will work okay. Have had the seals cut to length and fitted for the last couple of weeks without sealer. When checked underneat...

Found some seal trim which is as original. Just think this looks a neater finish than just sealer. Will seal joint first though before inserting trim.

Had tried to seal round the tubes when we first got engine running. This did slow it down slightly, but I could not stand the dr...
