Hi all, its me, Mr Paranoia
I could do with your collective views on a list of minor woes on my replaced engine:
The red coolant that is used in these engines.... should it be clear, clean red or a cloudy brown / red colour ?I'm guessing the former but want to get my facts straight before I shout at someone about it
Steering pumps don't leak do they??? (rhetorical question !)
The beast lacks all its old power, with no pull at all over 75, She has to be hammered everywhere to keep up with anything - although it seems to be getting better and can get to 80 now havong had some redex BUT seems to be doing about 17mpg (used to get 20ish +) - along with this I've noticed a sort of spitting / missing note from the exhaust and I'd swear she's 'pinking' from the top end - could this be a combination of injector problems and or maybe pump timming ?
Add this to the two 'tested' glow plugs that were kn4ckered, the air intake pipe thats had the end ripped off and the truck is now booked into the garage for Wednsday.
I'd appreciate your collective views on what they SHOULD be doing.
Can't you just tell that the bloke who fitted and 'test drove' the motor drives a Wange Wover diesel ???????????
