There are pros and cons that's for sure - no crime is a big plus. The lack of any amenities and the fact no businesses will consider postage out to us is slightly annoying... You'd never believe how excited one can get at a simple supermarket visit!!
I've got a pedal lock on its way, I remember how much fiddly they are to get on - worth it though and a nice visual deterrent. Looking for an immobiliser but the Ghost I went for before on my old Sprinter is not compatible with the 08 Defender -...
Good Afternoon, all
So I got up early this morning before the weather turned and popped on the driver's side front spring.
See attached it's lifted the vehicle about 10/15mm.
I stood the old and new spring next to each over and height wise...
It was originally a City E which ran like a Swiss watch. When I put the MG Metro engine and gearbox in I lost the E gearbox. If I kept it I would have put that back in as it had started to whine in top. The E gearbox had a higher diff I think as...
I would have done some measuring as per your note but I had started removal process so I was too late.
I am confident that when I rebuilt the box the coupling was in place, and on the pallet it worked ok. But I remember it wasn't easy putting it...
Nice, was that a Chelsey or something?
Mine would have had around that but I had a low diff for acceleration, it would top out on the revs in top gear, later cars were geared for economy except the later Coopers which had a 3.1 in I think
It may be that the shoulder on the coupling bolt keeps some clearance when locknut tightened up, obviously it needs to swivel around without too much play, you need to ensure the coupling is engaged properly with both selector pins when you...
1.59mS over 24 hours is 0.0000018% so very slow acceleration, i.e. much less than 0.03m/s^2. Well less than 1/10th of the sensor reading. The diagnostic screen is wrong . . period !!
Hi mate 3.0 covers from jag xf fit 2.7 have done this changes induction sound, check breathers are same
Don't know about aluminum rocker covers have considered them but stuck with oem so far would be interested in your thoughts if you go this route
I changed the oil after about 80 miles then again at about 2-300 miles. I was just about to do it again at 600 when I discovered the problem. I just can’t understand why it isn’t lubricating. I will check the new oil pump against the old one on...
So far we have not heard that Waitrose are not going to be delivering, which I think is a bit strange seeing as they are relatively high-sided vans.
Maybe they are leaving it to each individual driver to decide, which to me isn't very...
Having now got the box off, and had a brief look, i cannot see anything obviously wrong.
Here is what i think i know: The pin goes in/out regardless of the position of the high/low gear lever. The H/L gear lever is engaging high gear and low...
I had a similar intermittent loss of power, turned out to be the fuel pump, always started up ok and ran fine but power loss came intermittently when driving.
Good day,
I've recently bought myself a range rover classic, it had a few issues that I've been able to fix except for one. When I opened the oil fill cap for the first time i noticed that there was barley any oil under the valve cover. when I...
Morning all, off to get the lorry & pick up some guttering & a couple of bits of timber.
No rain or wind here atm. Not looked at the weather it did look as if the coast was going to get a battering. :(
Yes rotation of the earth from our perspective is a constant vector in space, but it's not acceleration. Acceleration is a change of speed or velocity, which is not happening to the car or us when stationary on the earth ! If the earth was...
