Thankyou for all my coolant hoses Ian

Hi just a quick one, After rebuilding my head iv got slightly lumpy start/smoke (not steam! [-o< ) on cold start. Seems to be just like it was before i replaced my glowplugs about 6 months ago....would the overheating/water in cylinder caused some of the plugs to go duff/lazy? definitely not fuel ti...

Hope all the above helps

Sorry i forgot to put down the clearances in thou's

Now just the temperature sensor to wire in and slight lumpiness on cold start to sort out........

to fix the stubs, fit a roll pin into the hole, get the next size up roll pin then push over the first then surround the stub with epoxy glue. this should give you the correct size stub for the pipe to fit onto. leave room for the pipe to go on.and make sure the slots in the roll pins are missalign...

Thanks for all your help...off out to van now to take a look see......
hopefully it may stop raining!

I'm not entirely sure...? But, i seem to remember Kirsty (missfixit) replace at least the most forward one when her's packed up with an egr solenoid. (I think it has a white dot?) That switches idle with the AC... Now i'm not sure if the block/electrical connectors are the same? but you could alway...

Ill post more on the whole rebuild shortly but what im wondering for now is can i re-use the back two solenoids in place of the front fast idle ones?? The reason i ask is A) Both the s...

Hi.yes its straightforward to check and adjust clearances on a bongo..Im correct in thinking you have a 2.5td?
Im on nights at moment but can get back to you in morning regarding correct clearances and if there is a specific order if that helps you?

Just hope mine fires up as easily..only a few more hours in the evenings before i can try.....hopefully

One thing I should mention is that it is generally assumed when purchasing a major engine component such as a head; that a degree of 'general' operating knowledge and fitting proceedures be at the expense of the purchaser. All of you know what I went through; and greatest gift I can give back is wh...

Hi
Does anyone know if the oil feed pipe on the cylinder block can be left in place when re fitting a new head?
Also i only seem to have one locating pin on my head and there is no sign of there being another one there at all!
can i get away with just one?
