Does yer turn green anorl?

Hi J. It's easier to get to the part by taking the manifold off, that should take no longer than 30 minutes, from there you wil be able to unbolt the Y connector. They get brittle over time and can leak it's very rare it's the hose, but of...

The heater in a Defender, when working ok and properly sealed, is sufficient for the UK climate. Using Vaseline on door seals stops the doors from sticking to frozen seals and a good radiator muff like the exmoor trim one helps.

My old thread ! An update l tried to sell it in 2022 for £22,000 but it didn't move, not a single enquiry. The mileage was by that time 155,000. I think values had also fallen from the post-covid peak. l dropped the price to £20,000 then l had...

That’s for a tool roll mate. Bit rough but it works. Base plate on mine sat behind the passenger seat but I use a bottle jack instead of the original one, bit safer I thought.

That's the problem, you're effectively dealing with a computer nowadays and not a person. l had a long discussion with AF about the side steps on my Defender, the girl just didn't know what they were. When the policy came through it stated the...

I’ve just purchased a 2004 Defender 90 Td5 County in Cairns Blue to add to my Marine blue Series 2a diesel and Series 3 petrol station wagon. Behind the Td5’s driver’s seat attached to the bulkhead is what looks like an original bracket with a...

OK, I have my replacement 75amp alternator. I’m reading that this needs a 4mm thickness of wiring. Is that just replacing the thicker brown wire going to the solenoid/battery? Al

The Disco with the sheared hub?

Ha - think our wives can relate to this as when the loo paper runs out in the bog - they go crook about that - don't they. Formula from the universe to explain life's mysteries: The missing sock formula:

Thats a belter, I hope someone appreciates the love that yer friend put into it. :):)

Dont bother trying to press the old bushes out run a drill bit through the bush a couple of times just catching the inside of plastic outer and you should be able to collapse the outer and hook them out with a screw driver.

Unfortunately not, she’s a 1993 so uses the Lucas electronic Ignition

Are you still on points? Are they actually opening and clean on the contacts, remember these trigger a spark front the system.. They can close and or even build carbon on the contacts and never break the circuit to cause a spark🤔

Not voltage, ohms young man but after reading your last post🤔

What a moron. :mad::mad: Someone shouting at me does not end well, think it goes back to when I got bullied at school. :( They think im a big hard man mouthing off & most people back down oh no not me I turn into the hulk with rage usually when...

Seems to be, on the high end I’m getting battery voltage and on the low end the highest I can get is 0.07 Volts which I believe is good?

Update: Ok so I’ve fitted a new viper coil and ignition amp from PS and no difference. I’ve checked and cleaned all grounds while doing so. I’m really clutching at straws here now lol. To reiterate I’m getting 12 volts to the amp and about 10.8...

Interesting ... I didn't know that (all of my cars have been 300tdi's or earlier). I guess you could short out the two wires on the brake fluid res to see it that was the issue ... ?

...that the demented old baggage threw a tantrum and insisted on leaving the hospital. She's at home again. She can pick at her dressing, pee & pooh down her legs and infect it all again and get gangrene for all I care. Its an impossible...

Just been out to a local theatre night about Scottish Highlands history & some funny poetry, Gaelic singers too. The lads at work were saying its a load of old tosh so I wanst looking forward to it. It was absolutely brilliant & very different. :)

Only in reference to the apparent over advance our mate has listed in his post. 🤔👍

O'dear that doesnt make nice reading. :confused: All good now I hope.

I'm sorry I didn't read your full post iv no idea about your hardships as I turn on my heated seats, steering wheel and climate control when I feel a slight chill.

l had this on my 110, the seals lasted a couple of years. Could it be the breather pipe is blocked?

I think that's where the belly tarp comes in to help. I can't cover the underside of the rad 'cos I have a winch so I'm a little limited in how effective anything I can do is. Maybe I should just move to somewhere where they have normal...

Thanks Brown. Yeah, I had checked out that side of things and ruled that out. I'll test the switch and the wire over the weekend. Cheers.

Thanks for the replies guys. It was my friends pride and joy and was a money no object purchase so he sourced the best one he could which just happened to be LHD.

Lowest I have experienced here is minus 14 a good number of years ago, so nothing like what you get. However one thing I have found is that covering the grill with a rad muff or something home made is not much good. The air just finds its way...

Don't forget, that warning light also serves as a brake fluid level warning for the master cylinder reservoir. I've had that problem when one of the wires going to the master cylinder cap broke off. So it's worth checking that the master...
