Alright thanks for the advice chaps, looks like I’ve got a tricky situation on my hands

Good evening all, I am in the process of replacing the hydraulic lifters on my 1.9dg and have managed to remove all but one - which seems to have mushroomed and is stuck in its bore hole. I’ve read through the only other similar post to this and there is plenty of talk of bearing pullers or screwing...

Perfect thanks for linking the site! And thanks for the info!

And just like that^^

Good evening chaps, I’ve been doing some work on my T25 1.9dg and need to remove a coolant pipe held on by two hex bolts (pic included for reference) - unfortunately one of the bolts is completely rounded off so I’m going to have to drill it out - which leads me to my question: Do you all know where...

Thanks to you chaps success has been achieved! The bolts are off - with the help of lots of WD 40 a 24” breaker bar with a steel pipe added on the end and an impact gun - probably didn’t need the impact gun but it was a good excuse to get one

Thanks for all the advice chaps, the weekend has arrived so I’ll give some of these suggestions a go!

Good evening chaps, I’ve been trying to change the front wheel bearings on my 1.9 dg, however I’ve come a cropper to completely seized calliper holder bolts. I’d like to know how you guys would go about getting these off. They’re 23mm bolts and pretty tricky to access. I’ve tried plenty of WD 40 a b...

Well failing the valve adjustment maybe I’ll take her to the local track and give her a run round haha

I’ve set them all to two turns so I’ll give what you suggested a try. I fitted the lifters stocked by Just Kampers - can’t remember the brand off the top of my head! When the rattle first started I checked to see if any lifters were spongy on the left side but they were all rock solid. So hopefully ...

Thanks for all the replies chaps, however the suggestion of adjusting the valves has already been done by me. A few months ago I had a lifter blow on the right side and replaced all lifters on the rhs and adjusted valves too I adjusted the valves on the left side too while doing this, so they should...

Hello chaps, I’ve been attempting to diagnose a loud ticking noise on my 1.9 DG - I’ll post a video of the ticking it seems to be coming from the left side of the engine - as you can see in the video (from how nice and shiny it is) I’ve recently replaced the vac advance pump, distributor cap and cle...

Okay thanks for the advice I’ll give that a go!

Hi, it’s been long journeys about 70 miles a day on average. I wouldn’t be surprised if somethings worn out again the poor girl has be wracking up the mileage!
