yep, as i suspected, the actuator had siezed
but the fact that it had worn into the eccentric on the diaphram shows it been like that for w whilst :shock:
there is a 2mm deep groove where its ran :shock:
no goes like stink, but took me 2 hours to free it :shock:

--- Quote from: "davidlandy" ---when the little rod seizes , does it do this in a particular position, or could it be any position?
I ask this because I reckon that mine may be partially seized as it over fuels all the time on low revs prior to the turbo spooling up and I have tried most things to stop it and i cant get the balance right - theres always smoke no matter what the power setting

Right that does sound like it has seized in the extra fuel position, clean up and lube up job done :D

Can someone let me know the outcome of this one? I've had exactly the same problems with mine. At first i could'nt move the diahram because the arm was stuck now i have freed it using pointers from earlier in this post but now i'm in exactly the same position! a little trick i found out is to put a thin layer of grease on the shaft and drive the car round the block this shows that the arm is working now as it marks the shaft below the diaphram.
So the arm is working now but i really have no power at all! cant even pull away from standstill!
help please!

would this be worth getting my tame mechanic to do to my disco just as an extra special treat to the disco incase it wants to sieze up? I have no idea where it is under the bonet, I have only heard about the tweeks. I DO NOT want to do the tweeks though. A good clean sounds nicer to my very high mileage disco. :D
