As a note to the above...

The TB42 Is a petrol motor and has an aluminium head, the TD42 is diesel and the head is cast iron, the heat expansion rates will be much much different between the two.

I just used the TB42 (Petrol) one clutch is working fine and i changed nothing, only put a Heavy Duty clutch in, that is it.

I was quoted 2.5k drive in drive out for the pump, its an exchange process, so they use the old pump core as a reco swap, thus taking about 1k off the total price of the 3.5k pump.....

I bypassed the plug last night, I attached the 2 eyelets to the wires and then fixed them directly to the PCB of the tacho where it screws into place.

This also didn’t work, on all three tachos i...

I thought the same BA, so i did change the sender and had the same result, also thus eliminating the sender.

I have another idea, i may run the two wires up from the sender and connect them to...
