PS. Nothing wrong with the belts, all model dependant…

Hi, I face the same issue. Any luck on this?

Most common carb needle in the day for a 1275 was a DZ, used by Austin, Riley, Morris etc for their standard 1275 motors with single inch and a half (38) carb BTW.

Same here tis drizzle rain off out to get some food shopping, hopefully we come back to better weather I was planning on cooking my tomahawk steaks on the bbq. :p

Panic over my neebs gave me a phone. 🤣 🤣

I've bought several write offs back from the insurers. They ask scrap value which is naff all. I then repaired them and ran them until it wasn't worth it. Scrap value on yours would be pretty well nix as they would have to pay a scrap yard to...

If it's not smoking and burning oil then that's a bit rich, post a pic of your needle next chance you get please :)

I actually just use a canvas hold all that fits quite neatly behind the bulkhead or on top of one the wheel arches, I then just bungee it to hold it place. It worked better for me because I realised when I needed it I could just lift the whole...

Standard 1275 will go really well with the right diff, 3.4 is best all round Have fun :)

OK, so here are the very sooty BP6ES plugs. All equally awful, no special standout cases. I shall pop some BP5ES's in (hotter plugs I think). I hope they don't do any damage, and it might burn off the carbon. :)

i have to fix the dizzy yes ! that's could be my last job ;)

Well the weather is well iffy here, thunderstorm early this morning, followed by us being in the cloud and now there are intermittent downpours. W's tum is playing her up so we aren't going up to the do at the "lac", if it clears up we may go up...

Managed to undo the oil filter (F2 TD4) and wiggle it down Then it tipped and the oil went down my arm and into my armpit, prob get into my brain from there ffs Left it to drip into the tray while I have a brew and scrub up, gloves were worn so...

you're thinking of a "dap".🤣

So not even an MG Metro engine!! No wonder the power is lower than mine was. Raffling lot should watch it as regards Trades Description Act. :(

What he is doing would be illegal over here. On a Sunday you can only mow your lawn in the morning. Can't use powertoools at all. We have to watch it as we often want to use my big machine etc over what the frogs think is lunchtime i.e. 12 till...

Morning all, I want to put a board or set of boards between the wheel arches in my 90. I know its been discussed a number of times, its pretty straightforward job. Most of what I have seen has been the boards covering the entire width and just...

Rather than wriggling the connector, check the contacts. Could also be the airbag open circuit. You could wire in a suitable resistor instead ?

Prolly a 21 or 23 oik then ....

It had a bulky case on it but it landed face down, the shock must have killed it as it just flashes. I'll have a look at them cases ta much. ;)

Yup but if I recall no-one had spare carpet so this was phase II 🤣 🤣

Yep, no HT going to the dizzy cap or HT leads going from it to the plugs… …and lordy, thats a lot of belts! Just have the one serpentine one on mine.

Oh look, another problem with the P38 - it’s fine, this is all doing wonders for my mental health. I’ve got a somewhat permanent SRS light on the dash now, accompanied by AIRBAG FAULT on the LCD display. Wiggling the yellow cable under the...

2010 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 HSE? I'm not sure if that is enough info.

...brownie-points have been earned. Broken wind-sculpture welded back together and working again. :) Sausage bacon & egg brunch in a short while. Visiting the old MIL in hosp this PM. :)

How could you tell he was camp ?

As per @tottot - I use a bungy chord stretched between the two doors to hold the bonnet up or if there is two of us, I remove it completely. Send us a picture of the filter if you can... the original doesn't unscrew.

sorry no photos of door top rebuild, have photo of finished door in my for sale ad though.

With regards to the noise, have the water pump replaced with the cambelt. If the noise is still there you can change the pas pump yourself at a later date if you are happy doing it.
