what's going on ?

why is it going dead? Can someone explain this to me and maybe to the mods/admins so there can be done something about it.

would be nice, this site is the best d24 information source on the Internet, don't let future d24t drivers down

I was going to a write up on a head re-build i'm currently doing on my 940, but given the few visitors etc it's perhaps not worth it, however perhaps the remaining band of folks who still stop by here could help with a little issue....during dismantling of aforementioned cylinder head, I decided for ease of access/disassembly, to cut the glowplug copper busbar at plugs 5/6 I thought i could easily replace or make a new one etc, I went with the latter and have made some up with some 8AWG single copper core marine grade cable, however I can't for the life of me recall how it connected up previously beyond plug 6, and have managed to misplace the copper bar that came off. I see thin(ish) cable at the rear of the block with a female end spade connector, I assume the busbar somehow would have attached to this, albeit I don't seem to remember disconnecting this, also does the bar somehow engage the temp sensor at the rear of the head....any help appreciated, or in the unlikely event that someone may have a photo of this even better, Cheers.

Would a photo of the rear bussbar help? It DOES NOT connect to the temp sensor.

Suggest you start a new thread in section Diesel Engine and Drivetrain. Better than having this specific technical discussion hiding in a forum comments/suggestions thread.

A photo of the rear bussbar would be fantastic if you could, cheers.

Ok, I will watch for your new thread in section Diesel Engine and Drivetrain and add the photos there.

FaceAche is making a lot of forums slower; the expectation of instant answers is a prime reason, I believe. This same concern has been aired on BrickYard.
I joined FaceCloth last year and find that I am not visiting proper forums as much, even though the quality of technical posts is far better. There is also a greater respect for the platform, with no idiotic posts, meme wars and crudeness, all of which I can do without.

Regarding PBket and their despicable action, I use Chrome and have an add-on which allows me to view and save the images which are not visible.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...er-info-dialog

The governor modification thread was the reason for finding something which worked. It is not ideal but it works for me; lots of saving images.

As long as D24s are around, someone will be here to read what is posted which i expect will be a long time hence.
