Regarding the bonnet, it appears to be locking properly. I haven’t seen the bonnet warning message for several weeks now, @Shedload. One question: is it safe to insert a paperclip into the bonnet sensor switch and lock the car with the bonnet...

I will admit to setting mine up by feel similar to others here and usually with the rear seal in place as I am adjusting rather than rebuilding. I have never removed the disc, even when setting up properly first couple of times I did it using a...

Water level sensor is a good mod. Head Gasket leaks usually result in pressure in the cooling system but can go other ways

Do see no reason why disc has to be removed. I learned how to do it using what was had at the time. A Land Rover Book manual and a spring scale of the fishing type.

ok I stand corrected. I do wonder how it would behave if the disco sensors did provide pulses, especially if the front & rerar rate per revolution were different ? I guess the ABS/TCS would treat it as spinning or slipping wheels - a bit...

Have you tried just changing the filter and flushing the fluid? The steering in mine's awesome. Nice weight, responsive, accurate.

I replaced the TD4 turbo boost solenoid. The person who wrote the original sticky post about it taking 15-20 minutes was writing in 2011 and his vehicle can have been at most 10 years old. Mine is 19 years old and it was no fun crawling around in...

the flaps themselves are in the dash ducting so you need to disassemble completely to fully access. However it is far more likely to be a cable issue than the flaps. I would start at the control end and see if the cable is firstly still attached...

Oh dear, that looks pretty sad. The lining in my F1 hangs down probably as far as that would if the buttons were taken away. However, the sunroof holds it up in the front so there's no problem. If there are passengers in the back there's no...

Yours looks great Mate, Nice and clean, Now the bloody hard bit begins getting things swapped about for conversion , just drained all oils in gearbox , transfer box and fairey , gonna top up with new oil today. Then wondering if I should fit...

It has no centre prop because the vcu is nackerd, the engine is nackerd etc etc as said buy a working car and save your self the expense and grief. Not a killjoy just a reality check. If you come onto a forum asking for help and advice you won't...

Thank you all for your responses — I really appreciate the help. Apologies for the delayed reply; I’ve been a bit tied up with work. I plan to check the battery voltage as @miktdish suggested. I've been consistently experiencing issues with not...

Re the airbags, apparently there has been a class action in the US which cost the company millions. Over time the can thing that holds the explosive deteriorates and lets damp in, so when it goes off it literally explodes rather than going...

So, past coupla days have been a bit cooler. Shopped yet again, the creme de cassis is all bottled and tastes great. (Not always the case, we never seem to keep a copy of the recipe, this one is now going in the file!) Today = hairdresser for W...
