THAT IS BRILLIANT.

I seriously didn't imagine that it would be a common problem, let alone an easily obtainable part.

Thank you Kevtherev!

(And thanks to Brickwerks for being so clever,)

My exhaust (JX diesel) is loose. And I found out why. The exhaust is bolted to a bracket, which itself is bolted to another big thick sheet of steel frame on the side of the engine. But this has sheared right through!! Photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dorkomatic/15054190544/ So. What can I do!? ...

Not a Diesel but my PS pump (which will be similar if not the same as yours) does have an elongated adjustment slot....you have to slacken the bolts on the pump mounting to rotate the pump in order to re-fit the belt, then lever in the opposite direction to tighten....not as obvious as the alternat...

I've just replaced the alternator on my van. But somehow (I really don't know how) - the power-steering belt has come adrift and I can't see how to put it back on. Do I need to take the pump off (how?) and then put it back on again? It's a JX turbo-diesel. Sorry to be so dim... ;^( But any advice wo...

Hey folks. Am installing an original JX power steering pump into my JX van and was wondering if anyone had a pic of the pulley that is used? Don't have one and not sure what I am looking for. Anyone have a pic of a Power Steering set up in a JX? Really appreciate it. Are you still looing for a pict...

This is exactly the sort of thing I needed to know.
Thanks guys!

Spanner? check!
Gloves? check!
If that's all it takes, I'm not too worried.
Thanks for the reassurance.

My Turbo Diesel T3 (JX?) has developed a bad leak in one of the injector pipes. So I was planning on getting some replacement pipes from Brickwerks. It looks like an easy job to replace them myself, but is there anything tricky about it before I take the plunge? Do the pipes need to be torqued up to...

Exactly. Please accept my apologies...

At least it all makes sense now.

Ok. I can breathe a huge sigh of relief. Mystery solved... When I fitted the new alternator, I made sure to tighten the sliding-bolt on the side of the alternator to make sure the belt was tight. But I managed to leave the hinge-side bolt fairly loose! So, as you can imagine, this bolt has now worke...

Ok. Now I'm more concerned than before... It's been working fine all week with no red-light glow - not even dimly; until yesterday... So far this week I've just been driving around town. But yesterday I did a bit of motorway driving - maybe 40 miles, and by the end, the red light was glowing brightl...

It seems to have fixed it - I'll confirm later - it was only a dull glow and only occurred at relatively high revs.
After a few more days, I also know whether I've cured the discharging; but I'm reasonably confident.

It's the "W" apparently, should anyone else have the same problem...

Well, I swapped the regulator/brush-pack - but no dice - same result. But I have got another whole alternator I've just fitted. BUT... I now have a new question about wiring it back up. The new alternator fits just fine; but there's an extra spade connector - do I need to connect this to anything? B...

Hi all The battery on my van keeps discharging. There's no overnight current drain (none at all, I took fuse #3 out, to help diagnose it so there's not even a clock) The radio runs off the leisure battery only and I've isolated the leisure battery from the main vehicle battery, so it's not that. But...
