  1. Mind that Turbo actuator works via pressure from a short pipe from boost outlet of Turbo. Actuators seem to only sell complete with the turbo itself and if anyone can get a new one without the turbo please inform on here. There is no reason why the short rubber hose can't block up as its in a dirty enviornment so check this first.
  2. Zo9 partly sounds crank sensor related but falls out when car happy to run ok some days. Somehow sounds like the old air in fuel problem and need to check fuel filter.

    As to Shandy I've still got that problem and living with it. Thought to be Turbo Actuator not working or hose pipework to it blocked. Accessibility problem here.

  3. Thermostat sticks out from rear of cylinder head on offside/right side. But inline Renault jobie available for this repair. EGR works by vacuum so suck on fitted hose to test it. Control valve for EGR on front of engine, follow small bore hoses from EGR to find it. Valve only costs about £27 so they say so might be goosed. (Think I'll order one myself). Turbo actuator is diaphragm in cylinder  operated and normally attached to Turbo unit. Suck or blow to test it.

  4. But on thinking of not having the shouldered studs, whenever you remove the wheel the disc is going to be extremely slack and  coggle outwards. The problem of this is a bit rust or dirt may get down between disc and hub and hence put disc as well as wheel out of true. Think I might try a bit thin copper tube in there next time wheel is off. Or wait just remembering those spring clips/locking washers that used to be used to hold disc against hub for this particular job at one time.

  5. Got some picts but won't add from this Tablet. Old hub studs have shoulders yes but if you wanted you could maybe swap over the studs as they are just splinned in. But on thinking about the movement between disc and hub, 99.9% of the time you are braking while driving forward so disc will be up against the studs on the same side most of its life.

    Oh and another thing, keep a spare pair of control and steering arm ball joint rubbers in your stock just incase as my steering one is shoot. Shoot yet again that is as replacements are very short lived, like less than a year.

  6. Silly me to say it wouldn't fit like other cars, but you went ahead and proved something that will be helpful to others. But somehow I feel telling that to the professionals you will be branded for Witchcraft. Well that's one job sorted complete with the knowledge that 3.3 Autobox fits the 2.8CRD. To say it fits, well it does but there are minor differences which can be overcome and may please the sceptics.
