Stem seals. But my favored option is Turbo or rings. Will report back

What's a daft idea?

Sorry I thought I said in the original post. But i didn't,It's a 2.5L 120hp I will phone them on Monday. Cheers

I don't think injector deals is a possibility. Valve seals maybe. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the turbo.

Do you have a link to this. Can't find anything suitable on their website?

Will check this out. Thx

I'm hoping it's not sticky. You can come and give me your opinion if you like.?

Yeah. Going to try this next week. Thanks

Yeah that's the next job. Thx

Mine has a hex on already thankfully. Did think about chucking a load of redex in there if it was a ring. But smoke is too bad when driving hard to do that. If it was a ring it would smoke all the time wouldn't it?

Don't think you can. Nothing comes up when I search it.. That's my other thought. Sticky or worn rings. Much easier to change the turbo than strip the engine though.

Its a stylish piece. Impressed with your bandsaw joinery. Not sure i could make it as neat with just a bandsaw.

So I bought a renault master on a whim because it was cheap. Been looking for low loader with side doors to convert to a camper for a while. Bought this one with a known fault. Bit of a punt but if I end up replacing the engine I'll still be quids in. It's done 210k miles. One owner. Pretty clean body wise. It starts and drives lovely. The engine purrs. However when you start driving it and get a bit of speed up your getting excess smoke. When you stop and check it out its clearly oil. When you rev it hard at a standstill it's spitting oil out. I've had the sump off, oil pump off, all looks good. I'm leaning towards the oil seal on the turbo. And so are others i have spoken to. Turbo looks original or very old at least so likely its getting worn. Looks easy enough to change but costs £450 so wanted to throw it to the combined wisdom of arbtalk for more opinions. Other options I guess are valve seals, a sticky ring. But if it was these it would be smoking all the time i think. Anyway opinions appreciated please. Cheers James

Very nice. More pics of the finished product please

Timber framing is a far more complicated and in depth subject than scribing logs for a cabin.. I do a fair bit of timber framing and consider myself very under skilled in the big picture of what framing can be. I watch videos of the old boys framing and can see I have a lot to learn. I have dabbled in log cabin style scribing on the rear wall of a very small cruck frame shed and although I'm not saying it's simple, for someone with carpentry knowledge and the ability to read, the whole process is easily Enough self taught compared to the world of framing.

Forgot to quote you

Shame lovely looking tree. I'd be interested in the stem. What's the acsess like? Can it be milled in situ?

Timber is sky high at the minute It has dropped a bit but not much. £700 to clad an 8x4 does seem a bit much though.

Exactly

There isn't a need for any of it. If people are so nice, should they threaten as such during a disagreement on hunting?

Nice pleasant post from what I'm guessing is a nice pleasant man.

Andys prices would be for green firewood not seasoned I guess.

Thanks Bill. I Blame the fact I didn't win on woodworks m3 calcs. He must of been wrong [emoji849][emoji23]

The reason you use a 10 degree chain is to improve the finish. It will also slow the cut a bit. If you are just using a chainsaw freehand you won't get a good finish anyway so the angle of cutter is pointless. Mau as well just use a standard chain.

I'm going for 345kg excluding tongs.
