HI all, need a good y60 diesel 4.2 mechanic for various issues but starting with a good service. in London area

Regards Paul

Welcome bud, a lot of us do it our own servicing but any mechanic should manage to service it, it's not any more difficult than any other vehicle

Who's serviced it before?

What are the other issues?

Had over to the introduction section and let us see the beast

Hi and thanks for your reply, the vehicle has been serviced outside london. one of the issues is high idle speed , i also wanted to raise the vehicle slightly but not as much as 2" , plus advise on bilstein shockers, b4 or b6. i use the vehicle as a family car and dont do any off - roading. Will post a couple of pics.

Regards

Paul

What's it idling at? The 2.8TD will have a cable operated pump, is it possible that it has had a new accelerator cable and has been incorrectly adjusted?

Not familiar with those shocks mate, pretty sure Barrbeast will be able to offer some advice on Y61 shocks though

Some pics would be great, lets see the beast

Service Manual states 750-800 RPM, adjustment is done on the accelerator pedal, there should be an 8mm lock nut then the idle is adjusted by adjusting the thread with an allen key

Oops just re-read and he's got a 4.2

Should be same principle though

The 4.2 is a cable operated pump too, adjustment may be slightly different
