No problem!

I didn't notice - I should have checked it on the stand!

When I get there I am going to have a competition!

Looking forward to that. As a boy I grew up learning about mechanics from my uncle who was an hgv mechanic. I took a different career path, I won't tell you my occupation cause you'd laugh. Anyway, I have a Td5 and disco 300tdi , practically rebuilt the tdi and being stretched now with the Td5 , diagnostics and sensors! These old trucks keep me sane. Grateful for your chanel Mike, I really look forward to your videos and the good humour. It's a real pity they don't have Td5's over there, they're great engines and we'd be a lot further on if you were demonstrating. All the best, Danny

Thanks Danny Not many Td5 here as people are put of by the electronics I was considering shipping one over and stripping it, but it costs a lot of money, and I only get £6 a day from You Tube advertising ( and then Google take 45%!) So now my philosophy is just to repair/rebuild customers vehicles Been through the importing heartaches before and that is behind me now!

Thanks! Mike

I wonder if they would send me one to try?

@@BritannicaRestorations you've got a lot of international followers, might be worth getting in touch

The never-ending problem with parts The genuine vac pumps are £460! by the time I import it to Canada they would be almost $1000 Not made a penny on it

They are terrible - but the aftermarket silicone hoses are good

Don't always blame the seals! I always pressure test the boxes with a smoke tester prior to fitting - then never leak for years

Thanks Paul! Mike

Even if you buy a genuine part at £460+tax, it still will be bad Pity they didn't put the vac pump on the back of the alternator like many other manufactures I know the exhaust is close, but it could have been modified

Lot's of Quebecers go to Old Orchard beach in Maine about 5 hours away - bit like Skegness

on the R380 the put a syncro on reverse which helped

@@BritannicaRestorations The army would still break it!!

@@harveysmith100 My mate who was a civvy mech for the TA told me some horror stories!

@@BritannicaRestorations I feel a video coming on

The vac pump on the 200Tdi was a vane pump and gave very few problems The cam followers on the Tdi's also give few problems - in fact they are quite a good design - never replace the rollers with cheap aftermarket ones - they are not treated the same as originals - I have seen a few that look like thruppenny bits! Get yourself a mechanics stethoscope and try and trace the ticking

R380 and LT230 as standard

Thanks mike. Keep up the terrific videos. 👌

yes

Ashcroft's use ATF so that's what I use

@@BritannicaRestorations Thanks great stuff. Love your videos 👍

1 psi - if you put a lot of pressure in you can flip the oil seals

co masz na myśli?
