    Read this thread, and then get the taper bearing shell & some jubilee clips to stop the bushes expanding. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/how-to-radius-arm-bushes-without-press.357110/post-4797433

    Thank you for looking at it. I will check the hoses and the intercooler tomorrow. It’s 2003 , 15P, i guess it’s the Eu3 that’s what the VIN number says: Emission Directives - Euro Consolidated Directive 3 [053AS];Exhaust Gas Recirculation -...

    Anyone got any other ideas. My rear diff had started leaking (which I've never had an issue with). I thought that the cover plate gasket and pinion oil seal had blown due to a damaged breather pipe. Replaced both today and also replaced the whole...

    Blue and Yellow is the exact same bush. There is just two of them that faces each other. But they usually come in packs of two. So you should have 4 to do both radius arms. But yeah you are correct those bushes are worn.

    Hi, check the al the boost hoses especially to not have a loosen clamp or a crack cos it seems there is a slight boost leak otherwise the readings are within limits it doesnt seem a management issue, check the intercooler too it should have...

    I have started using Wynns lead substitute. The reason I selected it was 1, it has a measure so you can put in the correct amount, I never like the 1/2 bottle per tank idea. And 2, it has a fuel stabiliser for keeping the fuel fresher. Probably...

    Oh dear. The District Nurse visited the old gal this afternoon (just after Wifey had got back home). The MIL having interfered with her wound dressing (AGAIN) has caused a nasty infection and the nurse felt there was necrosis on the go in there...

    Funny how "I might as well do this at the same time" leads to multi-day work projects. After finishing the installation of the Roamer OD, I thought I'd add some heat/sound insulation to the bottom of the centre seat panel, which lead to doing the...

    OK. All bases covered then ! Could do an oil injection and test again to check rings. Only problem is the huge cavity shape on the piston crown will fill up first.

    Thanks, will give that a try when I get a chance.

    Thanks, some photos would be nice if you don't mind. I should mention I am in the preliminary planing stages at the moment. With prices of vehicles going down it might never be worth doing.

    Thanks but a little bit to further than what I might consider to be 'within reason'.

    Makes absolute sense 😄 I couldn’t attach the files in here, could you guide me into the right direction how to share the CSV files in here?

    Greetings. I thought I'd try and get a discussion going about problems - and the solutions to those problems - that your Landy might have in the cold. I have an '05 90 Td5 and I live in the Canadian arctic (but I'm a born and bred Brit so I feel...

    Although I am not accusing you (@MrKay ) of anything untoward, it is very dangerous to click on a link that will download a binary file to your pc. It is the most common way to transmit a virus.

    My first 8 working years was as an agricultural fitter/welder/fabricator, however that was twenty years ago and like my Land Rover my skills are very rusty. I don't mind repairing the chassis, just don't what to spend lots of money only to find...

    No problem with nanocom. I've seen this not once. You might have disturbed something there when you replaced the pins. As long as the TC kicks in there is no fault present but it's a missballance between the wheel speed signals and the ECU...

    Agree with those above regards chassis condition and treatment needed. I would like to go over it with a toffy hammer for a sound check but looks quite good. Can see it has had some replacement brake pipes and bush's. More info as in year and...

    tottot replied to the thread Series 3 Rear Axle.
    Whether to or replace or repair a half good chassis depends a lot on how good you are with a welder. Nice thing about a series chassis is it is mostly just flat plate and not to hard to cut out replacement sections.
