If your adamant on keeping the 025 and feel you want to keep it in the land on the living.... then (people/spud please dont shoot me for this) aside from a genuine crankcase then a machinetec/farmertec housing maybe the way to go for you. You could buy genuine of course but that will be decided by you only against cost etc.

Indeed mucker, little hard hitting with a hint of humour too at the same time. Kinda highlights the importance of being aware and carful at the same time also [emoji106]

Guy, you not spoke to Richard at Railsidings? Right on your doorstep and depending on size/quality of it, could mill some of it??? Pending extraction/transportation etc obviously.

My guess is the metal work is getting too hot, or its your fuel. Anything else would have risen its head to a bad state/scenario before now.... i.e plasterboard, building materials around the flu etc as you have said its been happening for a few seasons of burning. I have a stove fan purely to direct some heat in to my hallway, as a result of this i have a smell of residue burnt beech wood when i poke my nose under my staircase at the far end of the room by the door to the hallway. I just light scented tea lights and diffusers to mask the smell every now and then. -

A common fix these days with the likes of the 017/018/021/023/025 etc is to replace with a cheap chinese version of the pump, they tend to wear quick and leak from their bodies considerably more than a genuine one does once worn whilst working under pressure. Spuds theory is best, try a little pressure and check your area for leakage.

Yes.... if you read wiki’s interpretation properly, it states that the engines were derived from the PSA versions before the amalgamation in 1998...... when they became joint ventures...... ford/volvo etc and you can see mini were in a joint venture with PSA, no mention of Ford. Not here for an argument, was just a general comment which you’ve proved to be right from wiki.

Was referring to the 1.6hdi engine you made reference to, but i cant find the original post? It appears to have disappeared.

Might sound daft, have you tried a different brand/supplier of fuel/briquettes? -
Thanks Dan, shall look at all suggested [emoji106]

Hiya Dan, which model is yours? Had a quick look on their website and theres quite a bit of choice, thinking of possibly getting a splitter for home.

I’m not 100% sure but i dont think that all the 028 variations will fit each other. I’m sure i’ve read bits before about the 028 and people struggling to source one. Could be a lucky 2nd hand find or maybe a purchase from across the pond that’ll sort ya. Is yours completely shot or could someone braise/weld what youve got?
