Interesting. Like the cyclone on a TDI.

I'm thinking it might have been @tottot who could have mentioned it?

1949 S1 knock on metal type Early disco Both are knock on,not measured or removed to check further. They look the same size(my theory is wheel stubs are all the same design/size for most years) unless you got HD with bigger shafts

I can’t upload a video clip, so I’ve attached a link below: Attempting to start

I had another go at it today, with no luck. The injector pump was still timed to the crankshaft correctly indicating that the lower chain had not skipped. So I followed the procedure to set the camshaft timing. It sounds a little keener than...

I reckon I've ignored this thread the most today.

This car 125,000 miles, and £800 in good condition with 4x4 full service history. I will check fuses and wire in my assessment. The acrid smell reminded me of a friends herald where low amped wire caused some issues during a rally.

Don't know exactly but I know a hammer is involved. it's a 1989 Ninety.

I have had the car eight months but owned freelanders and discos for the lady twenty in various trim levels.

I will be ignoring for a few days but someone will remind me to update..

Never tried… they may fit early shafts How do the series ones hold on? At least the plastic ones grip a lip

Did I read that the Series metal cap can be used instead of the rubber/plastic ones?

Glad you said that.

How long have you owned the car? I'd check your fusebox and make sure someone hasn't replaced a (something like) 5amp fuse with (something like) a 50amp one! All wiring is rated well above the fuses, so should not burn out.

Bet your all thinking how I made the stainless bracket with the curves to sit the pipes in ? Hay ?? Well I welded 2 x 16mm bolts to my vice a bolts width apart, then placed a third bolt behind he stainless in between the two welded bolts and...

didn’t think that l’d achieved much this weekend but after taking some photos it appears that I’ve done quite well and crossed off a number of jobs of the list. First was to fit the aecond hand genuine rad with an electric cooling fan, then I...

Well, I’ve tidied the garage (a bit!), did a bit of a welding job to strengthen my hide poles, took the dog for a run, and ignored @MGT ‘s thread all afternoon whilst doing so. #beenbusy

On an mot on my v8, I adjusted the carbs while he was doing the emission test to get it to pass. So I bought one of those. Sat in the cupboard for a year, I went to use it, but it was no where near possible to get a setup reading of 2.5, or...

Have you checked for leaks around the union on the new bag? I'm wondering if the pipe has got damaged when changing the bags, a bit of soapy water will help you out there. The standout obscurity to me here is that it seems to know it's right...

Eye shudder bin clearer. Eye use polish that lightly cuts then a wax after. So takingva very small kayer oft.

Rear harness almost in, engine harness connector labelled and routing figured out, dashboard removed, all after market wiring ripped out. Seems I have to pull out the heater unit as well, as the main harness passes behind it. There goes my TÜV...
