Hi guys,problem solved !! I checked the oil levels of the drive train this morning,all good and clean when I stuck my finger in and plugs easy to remove so I was happy with all that. I couldnt help going back to what I thought the original problem sounded like to me, a exhaust related...

Rustic, you could be on to something there.I think I will start with that and work my way up.I have had the jeep 18 months and not done it yet .Tho i have only done 12,000 mile in that time i dont know when it was done previously.I am going to be a busy boy on tuesday when i have a day off work...

cheers for that,at least I can eliminate the front prop now and it is also good to hear that rear one has some movement as well. . I had the rear prop dropped out again this afternoon and whilst in one direction of movement on the uj was a little bit stiff ( at both ends) i wouldnt describe it...

Thanks Briggie ,It does sound like a flange (ooh er missus !) vibrating or something like that but I cant see a guard on my knuckle joints.They appear to be open to the elements,prehaps removed or maybe not fitted on my model ?? but i will check again in case i am missing the obvious I now...

Hi guys, I have a Terrano II 1998 se Touring 2.7d 5 door.I have a rattle which I assumed was exhaust related at first. It happen's when I have the car in slighty too high a gear or when slowing down at road ends. I had assumed it was a loose clamp or something like that but I have had the...

Yeah this sounds exactly the same,I will have a proper look on the weekend and take off the plate mentioned to get right in there. The drip comes from a build up on the front of the sump as mentioned.And did I read that a pump is around 65-80 quid.Another little job to do soon !

Hi guys,I have developed a very small but very annoying water leak on my T2 this week.It is a small drip and after having a really good look I can not pin point exactly where it is coming from. If the water pumps delvelop's a leak,is it usually a small drip or larger ? I have checked all the...

Fair point mate,but at £1800 , a bit of DIY maintanace and I only do 7000 a year its a good option.Loved driving it since I got it and I am working my way through the common snags,ie.number 1 injector and the autohubs.Whats next ? Oh,and the fan only workong on number 4,ha I have got the lot :doh

Cheers plank,it is a very complicated issue and it is no surprise that engine/running gear is by far the most mentioned topic. 4wd is not the most important aspect of driving my T2.I lts the space and the 7 seats for me. :thumb2

There is much debate around the manual hubs dilemma,should I or shouldn't I. I have had a couple of dramas lately concerning 4wd/2wd-transfer box,slip diffs,yadda yadda etc. I was was unsure if it was any of the above problems and didnt want to fork for manual hubs straight away until I...

thanks redex and solarman.I think the issue was a faulty hub and the coasting freewheeling was just a coincidence.I have taken on board the comments regarding nil fuel at zero throttle input on over run and will now leave the truck in gear when not pressing the throttle. Its a learning curve !

Well I removed the hubs to have a check,the first one was pretty clean and not too gunked up but the off side one was really gunked up with what looked like steel wool and there is an issue with the ring which holds the spring in position. The lugs which the ring should rotate under are out of...

wow,a range of different replys.And as an adult I chose the option of coasting for the reason of saving the environment obviously.And thanks to the folks who are concerned for the legal issues but it doesnt help me explaining the mechcanial problems.cheers anyway.but today it made 3 massive...

Hi guys, with the increase in vat/fuel prices I thought I would do a bit of coasting in my 1998 T2 2.7 Diesel to economise a bit. I used to do this in a 306 I owned with no issues.I have been freewheeling on the downslopes and just coasting to road ends etc by knocking the car out of...

Hi guys, this has been a really helpfull thread.Last week I put my T2 into 4wd for the first time since I had it and was feeling really smug driving around with loads of grip in the bad conditions. However on the 2nd day when the conditions where not as bad and I was turning into a tarmac...

Hi folks, I have now changed the Number 1 injector with the sensor on it using a socket with the hole in and a power bar to get enough leverage.I had the bosch type fitted to mine and it isnt to bad a job to be honest. Getting access to the injector is a nut and bolt operation,removing the...

before you go draining the gearbox/diff make sure the top plug is not siezed in.Otherwise you will have to turn the truck upside down to fill it !!!

I have had a look through the forums found some info......150 -200 for the sensor:doh I will get one on order,symtoms sound exactly what i had.Engine starts no problem,idles well.but in limp mode. thanks for the help. any links to diagrams would be great tho.ta

Morning, I have bridged the connector this morning and it coming up with message 34 the injector needle lift sensor-incorrect signal or possibly wiring,air in fuel. The sensor would be easily discounted if i went for a replacement.ie,if i change that and it doesnt work it must be wiring or air...
