  1. The most straightforward approach is removing the engine from the top, a task that necessitates the use of an engine hoist. As Johnnyroper has said, the most challenging aspect lies in accessing the two top bell housing bolts. I have disassembled my object using a Torx 14 wrench from the upper portion, while the other components were detached from the underneath of the vehicle. Caution should be used in regard to a single tiny bolt located towards the upper region, as it serves to secure the bell housing shield. Failure to properly remove this bolt may result in inadvertent damage to the shield. Additionally, it is necessary to remove the bonnet. Additionally, it is essential to remember the inclusion of the braided ground wire connecting the starter to the chassis, since failure to do so may result in adverse consequences.
  2. Acquire Silent Coat or a comparable product with maximum thickness, and proceed to cut it to the appropriate form for application underneath the hood. Additionally, consider using heat retardant closed cell foam if the vehicle in question is equipped with a diesel engine and further sound insulation is desired. The expenditure should not exceed £30-40 and the time required should be limited to a few hours. Did wonders on my defender. It required a considerable amount of time for me to ascertain the specific model of my possession, and now, I still own a degree of uncertainty about its classification
  3. I am now preparing to do an engine swap due to significant issues with an automobile that was purchased by my father-in-law. I would really appreciate it if you could provide me with the opportunity to access and download certain portions of the handbook pertaining to this task. I have sent a private message and would want to express my gratitude in advance.
  4. During the year 2005, I had AA coverage without encountering any complications. However, I am uncertain about the current state of affairs about AA coverage.
  5. Please verify whether the item is covered by your insurance policy.I am affiliated with RH Classics, an organization that provides comprehensive breakdown coverage that extends beyond the confines of one's residence.
  6. A Star diagnosis seems like it would have been a no-brainer for MB Blackpool. Did they provide you a report with the findings and error messages? Star is a pretty sophisticated system, but it just has to be operated by the appropriate person, therefore it's possible that you'd have greater luck with a competent indi Merc expert.
  7. It's shaping up well! Due to the fact that the Sport model has a lower ride height than the other trim levels, you may get away with using smaller wheels. It ought should ride a little bit smoother now as well. My opinion has always been that Mercedes-Benz "over-egged the pudding" a little bit by equipping these vehicles with staggered 18-inch wheels and rubber band profile tires. And Jay deserves praise for going above and above the call of duty.
  8. Dishonest sellers may make a few more bucks by slightly lowering the mileage reported on the vehicle's odometer. I believe that the majority of garages either have ready access to mileage correction services or the necessary equipment to perform this function. The suspension has been reduced, which is a positive change, and there is a fair chance that it has also been tweaked. The color is breathtaking, and it makes one's heart leap for joy; nonetheless, it's a pity that the mileage estimates are off.
  9. I only located them on eBay. Looking for: 16GB/32GB/64GB Type-C Flash IPX-7 Waterproof Mini USB Flash Drive Memory Stick There are a lot of sellers with ones that are the same.
  10. My SD cards with music had the same problem. I bought a few of these mini USB C Drives to use as permanent storage since they're so cool.
  11. That is one powerful engine. What a fantastic project!
  12. I once placed some old cylinder seals in a container of silicon fluid; a month later, they appeared identical, which is not surprising given that silicon is a relatively inert substance. I believe that the reason why people report swollen old seals after filling with silicon is because their systems still contain glycol brake fluid (bleed nipples tend to be higher up, and it is impossible to remove all fluid by simply bleeding). Silicon fluid is less dense than both glycol and water, (and there will be some residue of both in the system). Silicon fluid will repel any moisture, so a glycol mixture with a high water content will be concentrated at the bottom of the cylinders, causing the damage. In a glycol system, water is absorbed and dispersed throughout the system, resulting in a considerably less concentrated solution.
