Clivvy, I managed to slacken mine off with an open ended spanner (not good practice I know but it worked for me) The fuel pipe You mean is the one that links to the four injectors which is held on buy a large nut. I undone that one with a socket 17/19mm I think whilst I held the injector with...

Hi mate, I think you are on the right trac. Had this before myself on a four wheel drive Vehicle but cannot remember which one. It was the panhard rod bushes ( the two rods which hold the rear axle in position) Check the bushes furthest away from the axle on the rod. Its rear axle steering. Teebird.

Cheers guys, mine got good performance, no smoke, good fuel consumption (approx 30 mpg) starts spot on. It only occurs on a light throttle at low revs (between 1200 to 1800rpm) Its worse if you are going up an incline say in fourth gear 35-40mph lightish throttle it jerks a lot. If you stick...

Hi Tridexter, Have you found a solution to this problem? I have a simular problem going on (also a Zexel pump) Iam thinking its possibly the pump. Its spoilling what is otherwise a nice truck to drive. Have anyone else found a cure for this hesitation, jerkyness on a light throttle at certain...

Hi Clivvy, I think that is one of the other 3 injectors (without the lift sensor) You would only require the number 1 injector with the sensor fitted in it. First you need to find out if yours is a Bosh pump/injectors or Zexel system. If its bosch europarts don,t supply them. If its zexel S and...

Daved no worries, that's almost par for the corse nowadays. Hopefully sorted now. Cheers guys. Tony

Latest update, this is like Sky f__king news. Managed to find an injector for my truck. S and S diesel services of Southampton. 01489 893834 guy called Chris. Very helpful, took him a couple of hours to come back to me but he can get one in the next day. Cost £96 plus vat and a fiver postage...

After reading back through all previous posts I managed to check my fuel pump and it is a Zexel! Euro auto parts dont do Zexel, so iam trying the firm who Dav ed mentioned. If anyone knows of a supplier please tell. Teebird. PS, if the new injector is too expensive I will have to go down the...

Mine,s not Bosch. I have the Hitachi maf in mine. It was registered Jan 97 so would have been made in 96, making it one of the first TDI,S. I assume its Zexel by what I have read on here. Could anyone confirm that? or was there more than 2 different brands fitted? Thanks, Teebird.

Dav ed, I phoned that place you were given. Took the reg number plus the numbers on the injector, said he would hand the info to an expert who will phone me shortly. Yes you,ve guessed it, no f--king call. Does anyone know if the injectors are not Bosch would they definitely be Zexel or...

Thanks Tezzer, any info gratefully recieved. Daved I will try those tomorrow. Iam quite sure the injector is not a bosch one. What make could it be? Anybody else replaced this injector?

Just phoned euro parts, he took my reg number, came back with a bosch injector with no sensor on it for £80. Obviously not the one. There was nothing listed with the numbers I have. Tezzer can you remember if yours had Bosch stamped on it or just numbers. Cheers Teebird.

Thanks Tezzer, Will phone tomorrow. Did the old injector have aname or numbers on it? Do you know if yours was a bosch.

Hi guys, can you knowledgeable crew assist on this one please. I need to replace the number 1 injector (with lift sensor) on my 97 TDI. I removed it this morning to get the details off it but could only find the numbers 667? not to sure about the 7. then under that was 02 and under that was...

It was scorching hot when we were there. walked up to the dam and called in that pub on our way back down, was great. Sunday lunch in the west end cafe takes some beating! really nice cooked diners. See you soon.

The camping and caravan site (Rhandymirium) Think I have spelt it wrong. Right by the river, beautifull! We got a camper/motorhome. We got two Jacks and a Staff, plus the daughters Jack. When you are going to do a bit of off roading give us a shout, you are quite a distance away but my truck...

LACROUPADE, that looks awsome. Some very nice pics. We had f--kall snow down here. Will have to come up that way and have spin out. We stayed in the camp site up the road from you. Walked up to the resevoir with our muts a couple of years ago. Have you done any mods to your truck? are they...

I changed the diff oil about a month ago. Used castrol LSD specific oil. Maybe the diff is not working as it should. When I jacked each side off the floor before I could not turn the wheel by hand with the other side on the tarmac. Is this normal with lsd?

Plank, front tyres are 1/2 worn and the back are new. It was the same with the other back tyres on. Lacroupade, I have to reverse mine otherwise it will not release from 4wd. Yes I can see how that would work with fixed hubs, allspinning the same speed. My last 4x4 was a 3ltr diesel swb...

PLANK no offence taken mucker but iam not new to 4WD,s. That is why I know the tranmission is winding up, if you had it on yours you would feel it straight away. When driving in the snow if i drove under a bridge say for example where there was no snow for say 40/50 feet I could feel it winding...
