just as an aside, after changing the exhaust front section on my 2.7td ( sheared bolts so had to remove turbo:banghead) i had a small leak from the coolant pipe under the turbo, its a bastard to get to so im guessing i havent tightened it up enough?! but its gunna stay that way now. there are so...

are they realy that difficult to find?

phew, all going well (for now) soldered new wires on the pre heater, filled the filter full of fresh diesel, primed , little squirt of easy start on the air filter ande she started second try. think im going to get a decent fuel filter to replace the cheapo one iv just fitted though, any...

i hadnt even noticed the blead screw, thanks for that. had to get the father in law to take me to halfrauds for some solder (6 bloody quid!!!) so got some diesel whilst out. now to solder the wires back on then fill the filter with diesel, prime and blead.... and prime again i guess...

blead screw? take that as a no, lol where is it? im still looking for my bloody soldering iron:banghead

thankyou, i assume you mean front/rear of the car? i fitted a new filter yesterday and dont think i primed it properly maybe, although it ran ok last night. i have no diesel at home so removed the filter again and half filled it with petrol and veg oil hopfully this will be ok, next to solder...

so had the car packed and full off kids ready to go this morning and the terra wouldnt start. iv finally teraced the problem to the red wire that goes into the top of the fuel priming pump being broken, but as im taking it off the black one breaks too:doh:doh. iv stripped the plastic coating...

just be careful that they are the same wires, i owned a fiat uno some years ago and the wiring diagrams were next to useless as they must just use whatever colour they have most of in the factory, may not be so bad on more modern stuff but mine was a nightmare

didnt it blow your fuse when on flash? i use these in my bike but only on dip and main as it draws too much current if i flash and blows my fuse.

mine were both melted, the o/s- sorry right hand side was conciderably worse and had melted right through so was in 2 parts. i removed them and replaced them with some spare motorbike ones i had. the bike ones have a rubber waterproof cover on them so i reckon they will be better suited to the...

give that man a doughnut:clap, sorry my bad.there isnt enough current going through it to make it obviously lit up, so i cant see why it would be this way from the factory????

i keep lots of chickens so am used to vermin and think itl be mice. i suggest the coconut quality streets as they love those, if you dont have any left over from crimbo then use smooth peanut butter. rats like cat food but if you catch 1 leave it near the trap as they will come and attempt to...

there isnt enough voltage going through to light the low beam properly and the fact its earthing through the rear lights suggests that its a fault there as opposed to the front. dont worry my spots are wired in correctly with suitable multistrand cable and inline fuses:clap,

the problem im having is that when the sidelights are on the main beam is on very low, its only noticable as i wired in my spots so they now come on with the side lights, this is due to a bad earth on the sidelight circuit so i checked everything through and could find no problems, until io...

its more expencive because the diesel itself is only about 75/80p/l (which is bloody cheap concidering what it goes through to get to the pump!) but more expensive due to the taxes levied on it bringing it up to the £1.45/l pump price. if you use loads of veg oil you have to pay tax on it which...

iv got a '94 2.7td with 150,000miles up, i bought it in july and ran just diesel until september when i started adding asda sunflower oil at about a 70/30 diesel/vegoil mix and couldnt tell the difference except for the smell on start up. i ran it dry just before christmas(dont lend the wife the...

:dohwhat does "two glows" mean? is it putting ignition on till glow plug light goes out then turning off and on again? or am i just making a fool of myself? haha remember im a newbie:doh:doh:doh

all sorted, my sister owns a butchers and i often go do the collections for her so have a card already. i bought 2x 20l of ktc veg oil which is rapeseed, added 5l of unleaded and put in the tank. i already had bout £20 worth of diesel in it so should be all good. thanks for the info guys.

nice 1 looks like il be popping to bookers in morning. so veg or sunflower? i notice the reciepts for veg. does it make any difference?

iv been running the terra on a mix of sunflower oil, diesel and a little unleaded as reading through the posts there seems to be a bit of conflicting advice and this seems a good mix of cheap and safe running, but the problem im now having is where to buy the veg oil from cheaply. i used to get...
