Sometimes the pipe going from the turbo to the steel pipe leading towards the intercooler delaminates. The 90 degree one ... PNH1020 You can normally see it if it has, as a lump on the inside wall, you can't see it from the outside.

I was offered these for my 90 ("it's cold enough where you live that you'll need them"). Nope, it's cold enough where I live that we don't get wet snow, the dry stuff just brushes off (or blows off at a certain speed). I imagine those things...

I’ll get hold of some easy start and see if that gives me any clues. I didn’t think it would be that sensitive to one or two failing glow plugs. It’s easy enough to get hold of some so I’ll try that if the easy start and Nanocom tricks don’t...

Yup the problems caused by peeps not cleaning it properly after going offroad. We have a mighty pressure washer in the yard but it would take the paint off if yer not careful.

108Nm, which as the_WolfMan says isn't a lot. I go for circa 135Nm on mine..

A/C on

Engine Running A/C off

It's not actually that high, it's about 100nm. You probably do it tighter yourself with a breaker bar

I thought it was recommended to use genuine.

Nuts av bin put outside me trap but not innit. Lets get kev comfortable wiv being by said trap. 3 calls today from the window peeps. All ignored. Eye ain't being rushed into anyfink.

ÀTF fluid isn't it?

All fuses good.

Fuse red 10amp which as I say is unblown, unless there is a second online fuse.

I'm a bit undecided about the idea of fitting locking wheel nuts. My son would like to fit some but I'm concerned about fitting them and using 170nm of torque on them, seems like a recipe for disaster. What do we think?

+1 for a failing cam sensor causing starting issues, especially when the engine is warm

Do you know what the torque setting is for the standard steel wheels?

Have you checked ALL the fuses, as advised?

This seems to be an intermittent problem although it's more often than not and it's driving me mental as it makes for a horrible drive. Around town driving and on generally flat roads it's mostly ok and has ok power in lower gears. When I go into...

You may have convinced me! Because I have several old VWs and I find this mechanics simpler. And since you find Land Rover mechanics not so complicated... I'm willing to believe you and will try to get started! When you speak about "to measure...

I know that grill, looks goofy if you ask me. And those additional headlights obstruct air flow to the radiator. Another issue just came up, the manual window regulators are obsolete... Which means I somehow have to make the electric windows...

Okay checked F9 fuse not blown, which I would expect. Can't see wire from top of engine not even on pump, so will need to get under when ground dry. I can test the pressure see if full of gas and changes under pressure if pump active. Not sure...

There used to be a classic metal grill with spot lights in it.(better than spots on bumper. High beam was operated by floor button like series motors

Those modern 7 pin sockets have nothing I would connect to the interior lights... Those have indicator lights, brake lights, fog lights, tail lights and a negative... Weird, really weird

She is registered as a commercial towing vehicle in the papers with a towing limit, pneumatic break system being installed, of 6.5 tons... Well, the suspension is certainly good! A bunch of things so far: Two wire colors differ between the...

I didn't realise that swearing was verboten on this thread. Apologies.

Just some updates. With ctek at no. 7 disconnected it and battery voltage at 12.96v. Admittedly, almost straight after disconnecting ctek. Battery is Bosch S5, 95A. Can only see pictograms on top but none are CCA. Does indicate stop/start...

Want to change gear box oil has anyone got any recommendations please? Got 1986 ninety with 200tdi conversion

The army tested the wheels after the issue of the shorter wheel studs was brought up and found it to have no adverse effect or risk but suggested the increase in torque as a precaution

Ah. Out of my range and cannot think of a member nearby.
