John with all these suggestions you must find the problem!!!

The plot on this thickens,Tommy came over to day to have a look,found there was oil in the turbo pipes but not excesive (he checked this with a mate)it was suggested that the turbo wastegate might be the problem(checked turbo all was working).

Tommy had a bit of fidling with wastegate were not sure what he did! however I started it up and took it for a wee run and it was back to normal,my gut feeling its been fuel what with getting on and off recovery truck and me starting it every otherday its cleared.

Any further thought ?

ps if i got any of that wrong T please feel free to correct
pps thanks for your help thats from S too

I am sure I can be more specific on the invoice

Oh and btw Engineers dont fiddle they make calculated adjustments

LOL am taking it for a wee run tomorrow see how it is if ok  I will try and fix the low box linkage and get it and disco to Coulport

good news john glad to hear it


ps; tommy, any good with reverse gears lol

Hey Douglas, it sounds like your reverse gear needs one of Tommys "calculated adjustments" !

good news john glad to hear it


ps; tommy, any good with reverse gears lol

Not sure if I have a hammer heavy enough for your g/box ,
Will take my tools to Coulport, might be able to see a bit more as Bill says its a bit difficult when in a 4 foot mud hole and an audience waiting with baited breath to see you fall on your archie in the mire

I too would suggest Turbo hose delamination, I fitted silicon hoses, problem solved.
Cheers.

its sounding exactly like mental malcs problem so im a bit more optimistic its an easy fix (if your not mechanicaly clueless like me anyway ) so i take it if it is this plunger it can be left off, it just means having to be more carefull whether im in 1st or reverse (for the sake of the person behind me at least ) peter came round the other night but didnt want to start dismantling anything while box was so dirty and risk getting muck inside the box, so got a clean up job to do first but if anyone is keen to have a look  i will bring extra beer (or tokens)

There has to be something on the tank thats an easy fix. Dont know about tommy tool kit though. which end of the axe does he use!!!!

Have you not heard Bill, the "Greenock Axeman" has been temporarily disarmed, all he's got just now is a sharp tongue !!!!!!        

Saddly Doug has the sharp axe so who knows what might happen,went for a run in 110(recovery following..well Wendy)no probs.Is this a stab in the dark before I went to Genes I put ?35 of bp new super fuel in more mpg claims etc,its now got ?50 good old fashioned Morrisons fuel.

Now just need low box linkage fixed and can play at Coulport.

Thanks everyone

Douglas has the less sharp of my two axes, so any Ayrshire numpty is fair game, cheeky

If i bring my cb can you help me swr it in ?? i have the meter dont even know what to do with it.

Cheers
