Project TB2 has arrived
« on: 29 March 2007, 23:01:53 »
Worse kept secret here, not that it was a secret, I have a new project car - a 1999 (though 98 MY) Elite TD with 'issues'

More details to follow soon.

I'm guessing suspect head gasket, when more likely the water pump has fallen to bits :)

Has it got leather?

You're too young to work on it! I want someone older!

;D

Seriously, until I can work out what the issues are, I am just 'tinkering'.  Doubt I'll be doing anything too major this weekend to it, but any opinions welcomed.

The waterpump is fine.

No, cloth seats. Heaters not working either, so need to get the book of lies out for wiring diags (if i can find it)

Don't forget I have posession of your Timing kit, Mr Admin ;D

If it's the car I'm thinking of.. my opinion is definately water pump

I've never done a pump on a TD, but how hard can it be.... lets have a look, and if it's looking like the pump... get it apart !

I'm free on  Tuesday I think, I was going to be putting the V6 together, but I'm happy to come and do something a bit different ..

Not waterpump. Old one is sat in AA's dustbin. It was fine.

And how hard is a waterpump on a BMW tractor engine? I PITA if you can't get the stupid bloody fan off  >:(

And the belt tensioner is a right PITA without the right tool  >:(

Fin, why so keen on the TD mate? Just out of interest... I would have thought the 3.0 is a lot more refined? :)
