Hi all I’m installing swirl flap blanks this evening. Does anyone know the torque settings for the 10mm bolts and 11mm bolts.

Was the brass fittings and bolts that don’t come out ok after

How long did you let the manifold soak for

Morning all as I’m going to be replacing my glow plugs in the next few weeks I thought while the inlet manifold was off was to clean it. Now I’ve seen some post that that people have soaked it in caustic soda but the question I want to know is how long do I soak it for.

That’s what I was going to do. Drain the oil that’s in the pan new filter then 7ltr of new oil

The gearbox is running fine just way over due on a service

Evening all got a x5 and no paper work to say gearbox oil has ever been changed. Should I change this or change it ASAP

I got a set of beru glow plugs and relay

Before I start I’ll test them with a volt meter I think

Thanks boy doing them as I had ista plugged in and showed all 6 plugs at fault. I know the relay has probably had it but Sod’s law after all that work a week later the plugs will start to fail lol. So would 10mm deep socket on 1/4 inch torque wrench be ok then. Going to see if I can spray some plus gas on them though the inlet manifold for a week or so before doing them

Evening all Im going to be doing glow plugs and relay replacement but what’s best way of getting them out. Engine hot or cold and I’m guessing loads of plus gas to soak them

Copper grease drys out really quick and can cause them to seize and also eats away the rubber so I am told

Morning all need to changes my pads soon but just wanted to know what grease do you lot use for the sliding pins. Iv been using copper grease in the passed but have found out copper is bad on brakes. Is cera tec good for this or red grease

Good morning all. I have 4 glow plugs out so I’m playing on changing all 6 and the relay plus loom as I hear this is a common fault of them burning out. When it comes to putting the manifold back on what are the torque settings as I see the top row of bolts go in to ally and bottom bolts go in to plastic.

Afternoon all. Tomorrow I’m planning to do my gearbox oil change. I have the the parts and the sleeves etc is there anything that’s gunna be a bugger to do or is it all straight forward
