Hi guys, just noticed one of my front tyres was badly and excessively worn on the inside of the tread, I went to the local tyre place to have the tracking checked to be told its wear and play in my bottom ball joint and track rod end that is causing it. So my questions are, is it a...

Just stick at it, it can be a long frustrating journey but its certainly worth it once it all starts to come together. Yes mine all worked really hard the whole season, very happy and proud of them all.

Hi ian, sorry a bit of a senior moment then I think... No I havent been since the end of the shooting season, I take it you havent been for a while either then? Hows your spaniel doing?

Hi ian, thanks for the reply. Which club are we talking about?

Hi Rick, thanks for that, i will have a look at the weekend

Hi guys, my motor was in the garage after the MOT for a brake pipe doing and the mechanic said he noticed whilst he had the rear drum off that there seemed to be a slight leak on the end of the axle that may end up contaminating the rear shoes with oil. I contacted Nissan to order the seal that...

Sorry guys let me explain a little more... Sometimes when i go out to the motor from cold start, i turn the key and the starter clicks, let go of the key and try again and it clicks, sometimes this can go on for a few attempts. So far having tried a few times it always then spins over and starts...

Hi guys, sorry this isnt terrano related but I guess the same principles could apply. I run a 2003 vauxhall vivaro van 1.9dti and the starter motor has started clicking, usually on cold start up. Now I understand that its the solonoid making the noise because its probably sticking and not...

Cheers for that mate, but all seems back to its normal wonderful self.

Yes maybe...whatever it was its good to have the old girl back...

Ok guys, quick update... On sunday I was having some real problems with air getting into the fuel system and causing me some slow lumpy starting... Well monday morning came, started the motor and it fired straight up on the first click and has continued to do so since... Now I dont like to tempt...

I have to say i would be tempted to temporarily put an in line filter to bypass the filter housing, just to see if that improves the situation...at least then i can pin point whether the filter housing is to blame... Do any of the breakers on here have a filter housing/ primer they want to sell...

Hi guys, quick update from todays prodding and poking.... I first tested the voltage to the buzz bar plug and when i switched the ignition on i got a reading 12.3v. checked continuity from plug to buzz bar and continuity from plug to glow plugs, all okay. removed the glow plugs one at a time...

i think the poor starting has just developed over quite a short period of time. The filter was changed as a measure to eliminate it from the list of potential issues. when it starts and i try to accelerate there is what i would think is whitish smoke....and is very lumpy. Once it has run for a...

Again, thanks for the replies. I am gunna do the test on the old glow plugs tomorrow and if they all work i am gunna put them back in i think....and double check the buzz bar connection after checking the voltage to the buzz bar... The fuel filter was changed last weekend along with removing...

Okay...so I will do some testing and prodding about tomorrow... I will start by checking voltage is getting to the buzz bar, I would also be tempted to put the old plugs back in and see if the problem is the same. Can I check the glow plugs work out of the engine by connecting them directly to...

Hi thanks for the reply. But they wouldnt explain the way it starts, very lumpy from first cold start, but fine once its fired and switched off and restarted... Could air be getting into the fuel system...could this explain how once its turned over and started that its then fine...?

Hi guys some may remember me putting a post recently about poor starting due to what i thought being glow plugs. The glow plugs were replaced with new ones but the issue remained. There was also a mention of possible fuel problems. To quickly describe what the symptoms i am experiencing are i...

I would change garages.....how can the hoses be causing sticky claipers? If your front calipers are sticking then its probably the slider pins have seized or the pistons are sticking.

i dont know to be honest....i am working away from home at the moment so dont want to mess with it until i get safely home....:eek:
