kaput in Deutschland

latest hiccup

Brand new clutch release bearing decided to fall apart.

Two weeks for replacement to be delivered.

Latest completion date is end of this week.
 
LUK supplied first one.
Second was Iveco.
Delay included dismantling as bearing fell apart after being installed...........apparently.

I just get the excuses guv.

they don't just fall apart some undue force must have been used, is the teaboy doing the job or the tea boys apprentice?

Looks like the iveco engine turned sideways.

That is because it is the same as an Iveco engine, all are based on a Fiat-Sofim 2.5 from the 80's but obviously updated, it was even fitted in Renault Masters in 1980 - 1997 and when it became 2.8 it was also fitted in Renault Masters and Iveco/Fiats
It is funny though that some identical engine parts are cheaper from Iveco dealers than from Fiat dealers
 
does it run?

Why yes. The engine runs, but now we have discovered the reason it died in the first place. Some dodgy vacuum doohickey that is related to the cam timing.
Hope to get it on the road after MOT next week.

This will be the maiden voyage all being well
