@rep2559 Thank you very much! Now I fully understand its operation. Hope this solves that part of the problem. Google's translate fails when viewing a thread. I understand some written French, but nuances will always evade me. Now what can you do about my horrible weather ☺ Thank you again 👍

@phdv61Hi Phil, thank you. I haven't spoken on any Forum for a long time, some 14 months or so. You have a great crowd here mate. Thank you again 👍 If not this, then prob the flywheel. Hope not. Stay well.

Thank you. I saw this. I have a scrap yard here, they said they had one. Thanks again.

@rep2559 Thank you very much. The EGR was removed some time ago. I did not know this, until I had learned more about the engine I have. What should I do with the vaccume hose(pipe) please? Block it like the EGR pipe(hose)? Again thank you. First help I've had in 14 months. Stay safe, well 👍

Apologies. There is no egr on this vehicle. The vaccume pipe has a bolt placed in it. 🙄 I didn't do this. @rep2559 thank you 👍

Hi Phil, cheers. Yes I'd thought about flywheel having read so much, as you know I do. I'll check the tps tomorrow for connection probs. That sensor I'll have to find lol! I've visited a graveyard for Patrols far to frequently in this last year. Some of the machines I know from thier exploits on our roads. So far, "touch wood" I still have the bus. Sometimes, I feel like some Doctor or Mortician working on something I'll never save. But other times, I look out the window and see the fruits of my efforts are still there. Time will tell. My thanks to you and folks here. Beers amongst people of kin are always welcome. Be well my friend. 👍

Hi Folks, thank you. I have an odd rough idle problem. It was quite bad after the engine was at temperature. I cleaned the throttle body, actuator with maf cleaner. Throttle body too. I saw that my butterfly valve was OPEN when engine off. I presume that once it is running, the actuator pulls in the throttle body valve, thus providing balance. What was a constant problem when the engine was at temperature, is now an intermittent one. I even considered the idle screw was on the wrong side, but after looking at the part. There's no way that actuator could pull it that far through vaccume pressure. I think the rubber seal on the actuator is at best very old. I know these are not serviceable unless you are brave enough. I have cleaned injectors with bleed technique, checked fuel delivery, battery and connections are all good. There is an odd clicking, or even a bad pulley sound from somewhere. I used a mechanic stethoscope, but I simply cannot find it. The car runs very well, passed its yearly test. But this rough idle and small noise annoys me. It is now intermittent, but still annoying. Many apologies. I did not know anyone replied. Thank you all. Be well 👍

Hi everyone. I'm sorry for my lack of French. I have a problem with pnuematic air actuator on my throttle body. I think the diaphragm is too old. I have searched for a new actuator. I cannot find one. My question is..... Is there another actuator that will work on this engine, or a workaround? RDTD 2.8 1999. Thank you again. Wishing you all well. 👍 🍺

Thank you. I found most of those some time ago. The trouble with a recluse genious is that sometimes they forget we're interested. Thanks again 👍

Hi all, I've looked for a long time on who inspired Jean-Michel Jarre? He's very classical in parts. My favourite pianist is Tony Banks of Genesis who is inspired by the great Rachmaninoff. I play a lot and am currently writing my album. My inspiration is Tony Banks, but a huge amount of other talent too. Currently have oxygene on. Can anyone help please? Thank you.

Yes this is true. Older skills are needed world over.

@phdv61 My mechanic is asking an old machinist if he can heat treat and make a new collar for the oil pump I have today. He took it apart. Seems fine except for the most important part! Best wishes. Stay well.

My oh my. There's hope! When French people welcome a person from the isles. It is also my hope that beyond this thing we're going through, that sense will finally prevail, we'll listen to each other more and more. Once again, a big hearty thank you to all of you. Stay well. 🍺

So le's have a beer! Seems a good idea to me. 🍺 Make sure you wash the tins, glasses. You know the score by now people. People here still are thinking it will all go away. While it might for now. It is a scary prospect to stand next to someone who is ignorant of the danger.

Sorry about this. It's the same in Ro. A distinct law of phrases that have to be correct. Apologies people. Thank you @phdv61 👍

There is a picture! I've no idea when I will get my rig back now. But the thought of being away from people excites me. I have no idea when I will get my rig back. But it excites me the thought of being away from people. Nice picture!

But investors are human. Investors create our houses and the places we live. However, I would bet hard money they are keeping themselves well. I am certain a conflict will happen after this is over. I'm also certain, the world we left behind, will not be the same on our return, if return is possible. The level of uncertainty has risen. People will point fingers, the rich will stay rich. Leaders will still tell us what we want to hear. In essence. Everything will be the same, until sonething changes again. Only worse.

I'm very sorry. This site will not work for me. I choose French, translation chooses English. The same in reverse. There are things that i need to deal with in the real world at the moment. I will give you a 'for instance'. Sunny day. Idiots next door riding ATV like it's a God all day long. Corona? I am totally serious in saying this. I hope it get's them! Stuffs thier small minds a little. I don't go near them at all. It would level the playing fields! While people who are in real danger risk everything to save others. These idiots are above everything.

Je vous remercie. Les prix sont maintenant plus élevés aussi. Ici, j'avais un prix de plus de 400 €. Les gens peuvent toujours prendre des décisions constructives pour eux-mêmes Thank you again.

Salut bonne matinée. Savez-vous où je peux trouver une pompe à huile pour un moteur y61 rd28 s'il vous plaît ? Ici, elles sont très difficiles à trouver. Je vous remercie.

It's so difficult for me. I should know what he is saying, but I get the the moment. I have to readjustment the brain.

Firstly, and again. I do apologise for my lack of knowledge in French. I was told once, a long time ago. If you do not know the language properly, it is best to speak your own language. I believe Mrs Merkel does the same. Our streets are empty, there is no law here to say we cannot go. But people are listening, this is good! I do not enter into politics. That is for those wiser people than myself. Thank you to @phdv61 for translating my my words. I hear Boris Johnson has it. I just want to wish you all well at this difficult time. Thank you. D'abord et encore. Je m'excuse pour mon manque de connaissance en français. On m'a dit une fois, il y a longtemps. Si vous ne connaissez pas correctement la langue, il est préférable de parler votre propre langue. Je pense que Mme Merkel fait de même. Nos rues sont vides, il n'y a aucune loi ici pour dire que nous ne pouvons pas y aller. Mais les gens écoutent, c'est bien ! Je n'entre pas en politique. C'est pour ces gens plus sages que moi. Merci à @ phdv61 d'avoir traduit mes mots. J'entends Boris Johnson la. Je veux juste vous souhaiter bonne chance en cette période difficile. Je vous remercie.

I'm sorry. I do not know French very well at all. I use google Chrome on my phone, which sometimes translates dialogue. Perhaps I should not post here. I am normally a silent person. Many apologies.

I don't think the virus cares anything for you political demands, your requirements for a better life. It's half life depends on you and your actions after that. It does what it want's, goes where it will be happy to. Macron? At least he's stuck with the block, at least of anything from this, the union lives. Without it? Could you possibly even imagine? Germany doing ok, little slow but doing ok. Russia, many others, not reporting real stats, data. I'm sure the men in white coats will come for me, some day. But for now this is the day we make a choice. Crisis = measures. Should be observed. Your food for the day.

An update from here: Army in streets. Traffic slightly heavier than I would expect, but people have to go to work. It is pretty clear that our Gov is starting to be listened to which is good. Rarely has a car passe this house. 17 passed so far. What is interesting is that younger people (there aren't big numbers at this point). Who are on immunosuppressive's do not seem to be fairing worse than those who aren't. Yesterday I boiled some hand made masks, they seem pretty good! Thicker, that's ok with me. There is evidence to support that even a tea towel mask can avoid 40% of virus matter. Every little helps! Data supported by studies. I've been talking to the wall for about 3 plus some weeks now. So much could have been avoided, but let's face it, did we really expect this? NO! But just imagine, 3 weeks. How many innocents have passed in this time ........ I'm sure you all know the protocol by now. Please be safe, be well to live another day in silence, in the wilderness, enjoy nature. 👍
