Julian and TGP. Thanks guys this is exactly what i need. I now remember why i signed up for this site in the first place. AND I WILL RENEW MY MEMBERSHIP AS SOON AS. It's a small price to pay for this font of knowledge. I had a break from the Bongo when I came in from work and was rewarded with GARDE...

Thanks Again.'' will do''
Ill let you know how i get on

This was what put me off to begin with, the diesel timing . Im not sure if it will be aswell to just use the same pump as i can mark them together although i thought that the slot on the end of the shaft of the pump where its tappered would only go in the one way . IM TOTALLY FEELING MY WAY WITH THI...

Yeah ive actually got a replacement pump to put in incase i damaged anything internally when i blocked it. but i wont know untill i get the damn thing off although im nearly there lol. So there is another seal at the cam assembly which as you say is the one you have to remove the pump to do. The oth...

I ran it on veggy last winter but ran it with too much veg oil and clogged it so had to top up with more diesel and charge the battery, to get it to start. but it started to leak and didnt run right . So i changed the two seals shown in the fact sheet but it seem to be leaking from where it goes int...

Thanks simon,
Im gonna have to buy more tools again.
Ive called it a day for today.
I may try and borrow one, or hire it.
Do you know anywhere to get the seals though i think i need some kind of seal where it enters the cam assembly not the ones on either side of the pump?

THANKS GUYS . JUST BACK IN FROM A BAD JOB ON A GOOD DAY LOL. No need to remove much just the gubbins bolted on and i think its the turbo waste gate thingy. the bolts on the cover are a bit fiddley. Im now looking at what a woodrift key is and what i need it forr. or is it just a nut on the end of th...

Okay just did a bit of reading and i do need the cover off so my next question is what do i need to take off to access the timing belt cover . [-o< I off out now to see for myself. :oops: :oops: since i just remembered that this was supposed to be a scorcher today and youll all be out enjoying yours...

Hello people, I have been putting off removing the fuel pump for a very long time . Sun is out and here we go. I have nearly got it off but it seems the the shaft and spline that goes into the cam and timing gear is threaded . Do i have to remove the timing cover and if so WHAT NEXT? I would be grat...

Thanks alot MoutainGoat. Sorry i didn't see this sooner :oops: . This would be ideal price wise, is that for the glass or the tailgate? If it is for the glass there may be a problem removing it from the tailgate unless he can do it. IF ITS FOR THE TAILGATE THEN ITS GONNA BE A BIT OF A RELAY :oops:. ...

Thanks for your quick responses guys. i will give them a call and see if they have the glass. But i think it may be asking a bit much for someone to carry something this big back from their holidays. Although there have been some strange things relayed on here before =D> =D> . Got one nearer to home...

Hi all, I'm looking for the heated rear tailgate glass for a 96 td freetop. I can get it on evilbay but pickup only so no good for me when its 400 mile away #-o . I was wondering if anyone knew of a breakers local to Glasgow who might have one . Or if by some stroke of luck someone had one locally,i...

Just got a replacement fuel pump cause i replaced the seals in mine but still leaking. I was gonna put this into a garage to relace the pump and THE SEAL AT THE FRONT OF THE PUMP WHERE IT MEETS THE ENGINE BLOCK. But i was thinking of doing it myself . I read on here that its just a case of engine at...

:oops: I sheared the head of one of the bolts on the front domed section of the fuel pump, while relacing the seals as dandy's post with pics described. Put it all together but still leakin.' Tried to re do the front one again but over did it and sheared the bolt . I got the rest out but want to kno...

The seal behind the domed cover at the front not the seal behind the plate at the back in the photos you posted a while back. Ive just replaced both but its still leakin' would it be coming from somewhere else. It feels and looks (from what i can make out) as if it is this seal, the easy one to get ...
