Even though I didn´t have any ABBA fishpaste handy the change to another used downpipe cured my problem. One of the old catalysts had a big chunk of material loose in it effectively blocking it. //Peter :victory:

Hello, As there is more experiance of V8 engines in the US compared to my end of the world I hope some one can give me some advice.My 1999 D II V8 auto has started to give me headache. The other day it suddenly started to be very slow. I mean can´t go above 60 km/h slow. Checking the fault codes...

Hello, I am pretty sure the fittings at the hard line ends are 10x1.5 //Peter

It is for sure the tensioner pulley. It is a well known problem/phenomenon that it is getting out of alignment with age, when the spring gets tired and I am sure it must have been discussed in this forum several times if you search for it. One quick fix besides getting a new tensioner is to put...

Gnomes in Sweden might not like beer. I think they prefer stronger drinks like "Absolut" or the "home made" variety... I adjusted the bearings yesterday using new washers. It?s a bit strange, the old washers were a bit loose, i.e could be moved a mm or two sideways. The new ones were a snug...

Yes I did. I will try it again this evening following the methods posted here. I still have a couple of new washers to bend... Peter

Is the car an automatic? If so it might be the P/N switch positioned on top of the automatic gearbox, that prevents the car from being started in any other positioned than P or N. The starter relay is grounded through this contact and if the switch itself is faulty the car won´t start. You can...

Hello, My 1996 Disco 300 Tdi has a leaking autobox. The oil leaks from the joint in the bellhousing and if I take away the wading plug there will come a small amount of ATF-oil. I assume there might be a shot seal somewhere and I now wonder if it is possible to do something about it? I am not a...

The starter inhibitor switch is grounding the starter relay position 86 (through the alarm) when it is in P or N. If you use a fused jumper lead and ground this position you could easily test if the switch or the alarm is causing your problem. If the starter cranks when 86 is grounded and when...
