I had a similar problem with the threads wearing - I just used a slightly larger diameter coarse thread screw.

I almost did use nylocs but decided that I'd give the spring washers a go, can always switch if and when needed |

I think the cable tie hack came from this very forum as it happens. It's a good one |

Wheels are set at the same angle as the wheelchairs used by the para-rugby players and look how it improves their speed and mobility around the pitch |

This is true. Super good in the corners, but the tyre shoulder wear is something to behold... |

Well a few weekends ago Ol' Phoebe and I had a merry time of it. I had been waiting for a dry weekend to get down to doing a job of work in the engine bay:

So, I have found an alternative solution to the missing rubber grommets of Phoebe's acoustic cover.

Did exactly the same job Saturday just gone although all my plugs were working, manifold looked like yours and gaskets rough so job half worthwhile Had the same diesel leak which looked to be tracing back to one of the connectors, gone ahead and ordered the leak off pipes (LR051528 https://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/lr051528...27-p.asp), o-rings (part no. LR054612 https://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/lr054612-o-ring-1006403-p.asp) and going to pop out the injectors at the same time to check condition and change over the washers (LR0000684 https://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/lr000684...37-p.asp). Possibly over kill to swap the pipes out but don't know when they were last done so thought might as well Corrado VR6 Mystic Blue - Gone Freelander 2 Orkney Grey |

Brilliant. Definitely worth the effort as from what I have read those glow plugs are more often than not dead. Thanks for the part numbers and links very very useful Step one the seals and see if anything breaks along the way |

Are you mechanics or just self taught doing all that . If self taught i take my hat off to you, way out of my league. |

Thanks. I am 100% self taught. Well actually I would lay at least 60% at the door of being a Meccanno loving kid, a further 30% at the door of wanting to "know how it works" and the final 10% at the door of "I wonder what would happen if"... |
