Sounds like air getting into your fuel pipes. I believe they can break down enough to allow an air leak without allowing a fuel leak :nenau

Don't blame you, mate :thumbs

Got stuck into the malt yet? :augie

Who is this Briggie you are talking about? :confused:

On second look, there is a Haglund job on there with a hiab trailer that would do :naughty

Always fancied the REME version of the FV432 with the crane on the back for timber recovery, absolute piece of pee to drive. Disappointed not to see one there :rolleyes:

Never done a swap on one of these but whenever I have done the clutch on previous cars I owned, I found making a timber cradle to put the gearbox on top of the trolley jack really helped. :thumb2

My point exactly :clap

Well worth the tenner to sign up, mate. All the manuals and downloads will be at your fingertips then :thumb2

Got a similar situation with mine re driveability but not symptoms, suspecting the mini-filter (if my Tdi has one) but can't do a lot about it at the moment. Just got to adapt my driving until I can do something about it.

Shame Lord Denning is no more :naughty

Given that the powers that be always claim that speed cameras and the like are not there with the aim of catching the speeding motorist but with the aim of preventing speeding, surely he was actually aiding the police officer in the carrying out of his duty.

Made my blood run cold. I use vehicles and winches a lot to do assisted fells and I was nearly shouting at the screen. Very nearly a prime example of Darwinism in action :banghead :mad: :banghead

Surprisingly little, Briggie. A bit of old towel will catch it all when you undo the bolts, 12mm socket. Cold engine! :thumb2

I never have

Just squeeze the pipes to make sure there is no air trapped in there. Also lets you know the stat is opening as the hose will be warm. Make sure the engine is off though!

I've never done all that when I do a stat. I always make sure I work the water through the pipes well before I run it up to shift any air about but then perhaps I have just been lucky.

You can normally get away with moving the pipes aside and easing it out like that but you still need to look out for airlocks. I've always gone with the maxim, if I don't fancy the look of a job, step back and have a longer look. Isn't there another member up there who can sit with you while you...

Why would he? For a start, it probably won't fit if it is wrong so if you can't get the housing back together then don't force it. Temperature wise, run it all up afterwards so you can check for leaks and watch your temp guage for any problems. I think you should read up on doing it before you...

No wonder you have a leak elsewhere! Mate, once you break the seal on a gasket you need to replace it. Wait until you have the kit to do it properly and then reseal it either with a paper gasket or some instant gasket paste like Hermetite, preferably both. At a push, you can get rid of the old...
