Are you aware that replacing the crank oil seal involves removing the timing belt? Time for new belt and idler/tension pulleys plus setting up the timing.
Yep, thank you  |

Hi,
any caveats or special tools to help replacing the inner and outer oil seal for the timing cover on a 300TDi?
Mine has had a minor leak for too long and I plan to DIY rather than trust to a ga ... |

| Could part of the problem be that you aren't exhausting the hot air from the radiator quickly enough? |

I looked at the silicone elbows fro ... |

There are plenty of green lanes to use, at least two day's worth in my home county alone.
Problem is that the "Defender" is too heavy and large for most of them. |

Was the problem lead time for the supply of four new tyres the same as this one?
Reason I ask is my 110 will be needing at least one soon, your offer looks tempting but not local. sadly  |

Thank you for the suggestions. |

My 300TDi 110 Station Wagon has started making an odd noise just after changing gear (when releasing the clutch to take up drive).
It sounds like when a brake disk is tapped with a spanner and as t ... |

Predictive text replaced "spotted" with "stopped".
