I am a geek for torque specs

Steel wheels

Defo a Renault… 25 perhaps?

I'll replace them as a matter of course as they'll be original so just a bawhair off 30 years old at this point.

Thanks for clarity on the rules. So one Essence yes I can sell items here on EBay but because I don’t have 50 threads I can’t?.. I don’t post a lot only when I have something to add for other members or need some advice so I guess it will be a...

I'm saying Renault 5 (turbo?)!

Hi there, just wondering if you ever managed to sort this out? I’ve just bought a defender 2007 and my ABS modulator SRB500550 has a leak and is beyond repair. I can’t find a replacement unit anywhere. Did the Bosch or the Disco replacement...

Should be on the left side, next to to oil dip stick if memory serves well.

Hi everyone! I just bought my first defender a couple of months ago…a life long dream. It’s a 2007 Puma. Absolutely brilliant. Has now been in the garage for over half the time I’ve had it but I’m more annoyed about not being able to drive it!

I have never used a torque wrench on wheels unless racing. A 3ft breaker bar to two squeaks does the job quite happily!

If that permanent live to the aux fuse board is coming straight from the battery then the draw from your glow plugs shouldn't have any effect on it. It seems much more likely that the cables chaffed on something and earthed against the bulkhead

What's the white car in the corner of the pic?

Thanks guys, The engine is a 200tdi, with glow plugs (and now that you've said it, it's definitely the glow plugs drawing power not the starter!)... The new fuseboard was set up to incorporate a diesel heater, stereo and any other future...

I think the wastegate was seized a little so I've freed that up and I've also found that the right angle hose from the turbo is swelling under acceleration so I'll replace all the hoses. If still no luck I'll need to check the boost. I wanted to...

Cheap enough, so no big deal. You're right though, jobs always get bigger than you think.

Do you have wolf wheels? it's supposed to be 170Nm for wolf wheels as they are thicker and less threads(if any) extend past the nuts.

My local mechanic always burnt them out with the torch, then a quick go of the hacksaw to remove outer metal bit. Having a small fire and support the bit to be burnt over the flames will also do the job

You need a minimum of 50 posts before you are allowed to sell anything and you have to post them in the correct section, which is conveniently called Land Rovers for sale and Land Rover accessories and parts, the name should give a bit of a clue...

Did some maths regarding parts, garage costs and the like. Normally I would never do that, so far besides the initial purchase yeaes ago everything just felw under the radar expense wise. And yes, I know how priviledged a posituon it is to just...

Nah, just updating my rotting pipe I have fitted now....

Is thee off snorkelling?

TBH, I have yet to see the significance of the letters and number. Unless it contains your initials of course. Can't see why it is worth that money. Loads here with NEM in, none so expensive...

All correct. Changed thread title !!

@resto_d1 should be able to help you. :) Look in the projects section.

À "get me home" fix 🤔

On my steel wheels I have 108nm, is this correct? Referencing HAYES

Hi no I haven’t, but I’ve seen other members offering parts they have? where are the rules so I can look at them? Thanks

When you say “it’s a disaster waiting to happen”, do you mean your FL going bang, or doing more damage? Because that’s what will happen if you keep ignoring it. You’ll find most modern cars go into a limp-mode when a problem is detected, not...

I've just taken my nearside hub off hoping to repack the bearings rather than renew as I did with the other side due to oil getting into the bearings from the axle... Yeah I don't think I'll be repacking with races like this... I guess that's...

Repairs that get you from where the crank breaks to a place you can install a new one. Very usefull when travelling to those countries, nothing you would use long term.
