glad your saving em ian just another million to do mate.

just wondering, when the pics are included in or as fact sheets are they then safe or do they they disappear as normal, just thinking on how we as members can link to pics when a general question is asked on the forum in the future. do certain members need the fact sheets stored separately (on one of your memory sticks) to link to to help future members, or non members.
i must admit ive never looked at any of the fact sheets myself and dont link to them specifically, i just use my memory to link to good quality posts that i remember and who wrote them and when, but these are now showing lots of holes.
i understand that the fact sheets are only available to members only, and sort of agree with this, but it wont help the forum /membership going forward if there is a lack of good info available to non members or newbies .

The photos on the fact sheets are stored in the fact sheet. And I (usually) have copies as well. I've got no objection to fact sheets being linked, or even emailed to people in difficulty. Any way, I'd never know about it, would I?

Plus, if you search hard enough there is a place on the web where all the fact sheets are available free of charge. But I didn't tell you that.

VERY HELPFUL THREAD! This has helped me diagnose my problem on my 95 TD. I also thought it was a turbo issue at first. Just rounding up the parts to get it done. I have found someone on ebay selling the studs and copper nuts in various sizes at a good price. Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the studs please? (i.e M8 x 45mm) Also how many do I need? When you order the manifold gasket from bongospares or similar they only come with 4 studs and no nuts which seems odd. Surely I will need 8 to replace them all?
Gonna get back under today with an endoscope to see if i can see whats left of the snapped stud but i'm pretty sure its deep with nothing to get hold of so will want drilling out and retapping.

Cheers in advance :D
