Bosch VE input shaft seal
How hard is it to change the input shaft seal on the Bosch VE pump?
I saw there is a special Volvo tool, but I don't have one of those unfortunately!
Can it be changed without a pump strip?

Played with timings from 0.88 to 1.05. In my case, the best setting with the 12mm pump seems to be 0.96. Feels strongest on boost, and also giving marginally better MPG.

Valve adjustments
Checked my valves the other day, and I just want some advice on what to adjust them to. My car always sounds a bit 5 cylinder, so I was hoping to find some of them very tight.
I checked them hot,...

Valve Shims
Where can I get a mixed set of valve shims for a reasonable price?
My cars always sounded 5-cylindery when warm. After getting injectors checked and putting on a completely different pump (rebuilt...

Effects of timing (12mm pump)
I've installed my 12mm pump now, and have timing set to 0.88 at the moment. My old pump was set to 1.05mm (thought I'd set it to 1.00, but obviously not!
I'm going to advance it a bit more, but...

Testing shows the injectors are still in good condition, no issues with Pop pressures/dripping. Think I've done about 50K since fitting the Monark nozzles.
So, I'll stick with them for now. Will...

OK fair enough, just a thought.
I'm comparing it to my other car - a Rover 45 Turbo Diesel. These have 210 bar injectors and with standard fuel settings put out 100BHP.

Best Nozzles?
I've seen lots of talk of different nozzles lately, and I'm wondering which are the best to use? What are the differences/advantages of each?
I think the standards are "193" or "293"?
