Hi, had a smell of burning oil today. Pulled over and found this. Not the greatest picture and I know that there is sometimes a small weep but this seems excessive. Any suggestions as to where all that oil is coming from? Thanks Dave

Banshee, Sorry for not coming back sooner. The weather here improved and I've been out cutting firewood for 2017/18 winter. By baffle I mean - if you take the intercooler off and look down on the left hand side there ist, I'm assuming to be, a movable baffle which I guess restricts airflow. Not...

Hi, I had power loss problem before, cleaned the maf, changed the filters, checked the mini filter and things improved. However it seems I'm back where I started. I'm losing power on hills. It doesn't need much of an incline and I'm dropping down the gears to keep going. On the flat no...

Nice job.:thumbs Always a sense of satisfaction when the jobs done. I just wish i could get a bit of that while you are skinning your knuckles, banging your head and trapping your fingers before hand! Neither of our T2's blows warm air through the central vents. I didn't know they did:nenau...

That's it done! So, pads, discs, crank pulley, crank pulley seal and winter service! Thank you all for your advice and help. Only rear brakes to check now. What's the best way to jack up the back ( Oo er Mrs )? From the axle and then use axle stands and chock the other 3 wheels? I've done...

Cheers for that Rick, I'll whip the wheel and hub off and tighten up. I was just a bit worried about over tightening after reading the manual which I interpreted as tighten up then slacken off the nut. But with hindsight you've really got to go some with that hammer to do that. I couldn't feel...

Ermmmmm...not 100% sure. I tightened the nut as tight as I could get it with a hammer and screwdriver, so it squeezed onto the stub, spun the wheel around a couple of times, undid the nut, spun the wheel, tightened the nut up tight again then undid it so there was just a slight nip and the...

I think my 60w bulb in a cage has had its day. I'm either working shadow, being blinded or struggling to find a decent hook up point. What is everyone else using? Anyone got an opinion on those rechargeable led tubes any or them little flori tubes?

Right, that's one side done. Do the other tomorrow. Took me around 4 hours but there was quite a bit of faffing around. But still I'm in no rush Thanks for all the help. While I was there I whipped out the bearings, gave a clean and prepacked them. So in the manual it SaYS general purpose...

Fair enough. So much easier once you know how to find the downloads! My brain isn't like it used to be and I keep forgetting how I got to the download section each time I go there... Right then, let's go fit some discs - I'll be referencing your download:clap

Hi, any chance of us having a new sticky that lists the downloads that are available? Save us newbies asking the same questions over and over and over...and having someone say " there's a download for that.."

:doh:doh:doh Thank you!

Sorry, its not very clear to me...do I undo the six bolts while everything is still attached to the axle or take it off and then separate?

I Noted. These are TRW (discs) and the pads are Necto :nenau from the local parts shop for 135euro. They seem like good people - they even asked if I wanted to order Nissan parts or should they order what the mechanics use? Lol! Just opened the disc box for a quick contrast and compare...

Right then I'll have a go at it! I have 2 more boxes of goodies. Discs and pads. So caliper off first - just the 2 bolts on the blind side. I haven't got the free wheeling hub thingies so remove the hub. The manual says I need a special lock washer removal tool. Is there a secret way around...

Hi, If I put a straight edge along the disk and measure I've got a 3.5mm lip. Is it time to change em or can I go a bit more? I've got no grinding or screeching just noticed the wear when changing the oil filter. Cheers Dave

I've knocked up a water pump gasket from a cereal packet. Been a while since I've done this but I seem to remember greasing up homemade gaskets? Is that right or am I getting confused and thinking of something else?

I think if you unplug the maf and the problem gets worse then the maf is OK. If there is no difference then it "could" be the maf. I suffered loss of power going up hills, cleaned the maf and it got better, then changed the air filter and back to normal. There is a download for checking the...

I tell ya, I love this forum! I was a member of a landy one when I had one. It started off OK but in the end it turned into a little club / fiefdom for some of the members. They were very quick to tell you what you were doing wrong and considered themselves gods when dispensing their wisdom to...

Its off!!!! But I cheated. Went back out last night to the w/shop and started grinding down some rebar ready for the morning. Got to about 12 and was ordered to come in for the night. Anyway it just wouldnt hold. So this morning in a fit of pique I threw caution to the wind... Jammed the t...
