Re: Some sheduled maintenance

Well,due to the lack of quality D8R's being available to buy,I decided to buy a very low houred D8T.

Re: Some sheduled maintenance

20180602_142646.jpg . By July,I met a chap that offered to buy all my entire collection of D8's off me,including my pick up. He made me a strong offer which I accepted with a heavy heart. I told him that I needed to keep the D8R and the pick up though. It's worked out well for us both as I still he...

Re: Some sheduled maintenance

The other D8 didn't see action until late June as I'd had enough on my plate with the other D8H and the D8R.

Re: Some sheduled maintenance

This D8R worked fine all last year until February,when it developed a slight flutter. I thought it was an injector, but TC soon informed me the camshaft was buggered. We had the thing in bits quick enough and stripped the engine to look at things. Apart from dropping a cam follower ,we had been luck...
