So, your saying the same as me then? My assumptions are correct?. Thanks The coolant sender having brown and red cables, it is likely for the aux water pump as well as turbo cooling fan. Meanwhile, yellow and red cable probably connect to original temp gauge. The blue and white wire need to connect ...

Hi all, I've just added a VDO oil pressure and 120c temp gauge. The oil pressure is all up and running but I have a few questions regarding the temperature senders and wiring. It's a 1989 JX UK Syncro which is totally standard (apart from these 2 gauges 😀) Referring to the pic, are my assumptions co...

Hi all, so i have a stock setup 14' Syncro with stock wheels and tyres. I've bought 5 Tuff Torque steels and now need to put some rubber on them.

Hi Aidan, From memory (a week ago 🙄) the outer bearings on both sides need pressing in equally. The inner bearing needed minimal convincing, one was defo easier to fit in than the other, so im guessing housing is worn as stated. I never used and bearing fit, lesson learned I guess. I will strip the ...

After completely rebuilding the rear suspension (including 2 brand new trailing arms 🙈) due to suspect worn bearings. I still have play, plenty of play. My question is, having changed the bearings and applied 500nm to the nuts, is it most likely yo be the bearing housing or stub axel at fault? Or mo...

Thanks guys. Sometimes the simplest problems have the simplest solutions

Hi all,
Does anyone have, or know where I can get a fuel filter clamp for my 88 jx diesel syncro.
I ordered a petrol one by mistake as it looked correct

What is the correct clamp for this location?



It certainly isn't this

A three legged puller, converted to tool 3032z (copyright pending).
For info, it took a 24 inch breaker bar to free it

VW 3032z.

So, having spent 2 days trying to get the pulley of my insitu injection pump (in order to replace it) with a rubbish puller, I need guidance.... again. Bentley mention tool 3032, does anyone local to the Midlands have such a thing or has anyone used an aletnative method? Please help, the ferry is bo...

Cheers for the info

The gate is removed so I can take it to auto glass but there is a stubborn part of me that wants to do it. I will take an angle grinder to the glass soon
