When I retrieved the transmission bits off my K Series parts car, I removed the exhaust. Its no good to me so sat in the garage for years. Eventually had a clear out and listed it on the Kiwi version of eBay. Not the slightest of interest...

I should clarify - when I say 'a while', I mean for today while I check for any leaks. The wrap will be arriving tomorrow and will go straight on

Maybe not a good idea, don't forget they put it there for a reason.. Although your choice 🤔

Just the springs (as a minimum) although i'd probably change the shocks too unless they were new(ish). The turrets are the same whatever the lift/lack of.

I'm assuming there'll be plenty of air in the system that needs bleeding, I'll drive the front wheels up on my small ramps - hopefully that'll be a good angle to get the trapped air out. My heat wrap hasn't arrived for the exhaust manifolds yet -...

I think the old trucks were hinged in three places because with just one the headlamps would obstruct opening the hood, problem is it's got to be at least one in the middle and jiggle opening it or go all the way with three. Vent is a problem...

When your driving and wind is going through the front of the car the temperature is normal

Yikes, I can see exactly why the bonnet lump would be a problem. I have seen kit cars with a bonnet hinge on one side, but many also, like the one on my Marlin, which is a one piece you have to take off each time. Can you not hinge it at the...

Hi, I am looking at taking off the 2inch lift kit, that was fitted to the Landy by the previous owner, and taking it back to stock. My question, do I just need to change shocks and springs, or do the turrets need replacing too? Regards Garry

When it overheats the water comes out of the overflow pipe on the expansion tank and I've just noticed the top radiator hose is collapsed

Marked up for three piano hinges, only problem being the top vent on bonnet, there's a hole under it. Just plucking up the courage for the first cut 🤔

Literally as soon as I pull over

We has gotted neebs coming over for dins tomoz so today W has gone out to do lots of errands and a hospicle visit, pre-op for her injections in her fingas. So I am on dusting, polishing and vacuuming duties, plus hosing out the downstairs bog. I...

Thank you I will try that

nothing wrong with running it for a while with water & always getting ot properly warmed up so you can find any leaks. Then after sorting those, drain & replace with proper coolant.

I take it you mean a long central cut followed by a piano hinge?!!! My fingers are all crossed for you!!!:):):)

Can only sympathise. Recently I get painful knees from kneeling on them even on carpet. The only way to avoid it is to use one of those cushioned mats, which are a pain but there you go. Age is not fun.:(

I dug into this and this is what it came up with. Basically the only humane way to do it is to bash them over the head or body with something. Any sort of humane trap is seen as cruel, and any sort of poison is a "last resort". From UFAW: "It...

I'd replace leak off pipes anyway as they're cheap and easy, see if it persists

All good points..... Keep in mind when you are sleeping only "some" weight is on the roof as the ladder supports a lot of it. I would in order. 1. Support the rack fully along the gutter 2. Get as light a rack as possible 3. Even the load on...

Anyone had leaking injectors before? It's not leaking from hp pipe connection. It's not leaking from leak off pipes. Changed copper washers, pretty sure it's not them. Can it leak from the actual body of the injector, as I am pretty sure it is...

Mornin Suns a shinin, birds a tweetin, grass a growin, what's not to like ? 😊 Still no sign of bathroom fitter, man from council says fitter is ill 🤔:confused: Might cut ma bonnet and hinge it today Stay focused all :)

Also the electric windows are effected.

My 2003 Defender 110 TD5 decided to lose all dials and dipped headlights. Speedo, fuel gauge and temperature gauge all register 0 and the dipped headlights don't work. I have checked all fuses and none are blown, no loose wires on the fuse box...

My p38 range rover mk2 2.5 dse have put a new cylinder head and gasket new radiator water pump and thermostat and expansion tank and new viscous clutch the vehicle ticks over no problem when you drive it the temperature gauge stays normal as...

It's way, way stronger than the spindly thing that the previous owner was using to tow their horsebox.

Sorry. Freelander 1. 2005. TD4. Manual.

Latest update on the charge control setup. It works! :D I've done lots of testing and so far no major issues so I figured maybe it was time for Mk2 https://store.arduino.cc/products/uno-r4-wifi When I was connecting all the wires to the Arduino...

Hi there, You need to tell us what car you have. Freelander 1 or 2? What engine you have and is it an auto or not.

Fanks Dips a Nippo. Is both sides, I even switched left to right etc. Luckily it's still in warranty (just) so they're on to the garridge this mornin.
