Peanut butter out for kev. Just bort it back in. Ungrateful little fing.

Ended up shortening the driver's side latch bolt and lengthening the passenger side one, that seemed to get the bonnet opening fairly reliably. I'll probably have to make some micro adjustments to find the sweet spot

Yes, that’s the one! Not a great afternoon when I was all ready to start sound proofing! What did you use to glue it?

2003 Disco 2 ES. No air, No ACE This shock has done 7294 miles and has been fitted for 23 months. It is pouring out oil and offers no resistance at all. Its pair seems to be fine, though obviously have replaced both.

Hi Folks, I have an Series that had a one wire (positive?) Sender unit. I bought the same sender unit as a replacement. But my Truck is negative ground. I've also read one wire senders match only certain gauges. So...is there a way of using my...

Yes, it does, galvanic corrosion it is... Sandwiching alluminium between steel has that effect. I used/cut up an old roadsign to do mine with lashings of paint on both surfaces and waterproof grease to keep out the electrolyte. This is what it...

Fan belt on my recent acquisition (1989 V8 110) was squealing like a stuck pig so I got a replacement from our local motor factors this afternoon. They asked me if the belt I wanted was the 10mm or the 13mm one. I measured the existing one and it...

It's got to be something unmonitered and possibly uncontrolled to an extent. So youve got no faults at all🤔 What diag are you using

Hello, I have just taken the rear seats out of my 90 and have found that the seatbelt load spreading plates have cause the aluminium to disintegrate. Any tips on how to repair the area? I’m thinking aluminium patch, but any tips even with...

I’ve recently brought a 2006 L322 and it’s coming up with suspension fault when driving sometimes but no obvious issues/ change. Came out to the car in the morning and the rear was on the floor. First thought was air leak but then 2 days later...

Hi Nodge68, I thought that I would have been able to tackle the job myself but on reflection it's probably best to leave it into the local garage. thank you very much for your reply, it's much appreciated. hope you have a good weekend.

Usually RF interference waking the BECM, so disconnect the RF antenna from the receiver. It's under the offside rear shelf.

When this happened to me, in a Discovery 2 TD5, the problem was the MAP/Iat sensor. Just saying.

I'm pretty sure my old RRC cig. lighters (F & R) are also ign. live, not permanent. Something to do with the safety of inquisitive kids if they are left in the car?

At that money??? Err no my mate😜 I appreciate a good sound system but sometimes you can be just as happy with simple and effective 👍

Made a list of jobs for the weekend now a few more parts have arrived: - Replace front door hinges both sides - Refit door cards - Replacing this absolutely shagged wire which is just as bad under the engine bay. Something to do with the...

Hi guys, The ignition system on my 1989 V8 3.5 looks original - apart from a new dizzy cap someone put on quite recently. But the amplifier and coil both appear to be 36 years old. I'm getting a very weak spark and am tempted to fit a new...

😵

Thank you again! All understood and thank you for your patience’s. I am only confused on where to reroute the live wire after the switch if the piggyback fuse is there? If there is only an output wire, how do I reroute it back to the tc...

Damn, forgot one thing. The electric wondows are removed. So I need at least a manual one for the driver side befire I can go to pass TÜV. Ordered one of eBay, we'll see when they are delivered. Hopefully next week!

While it is off, check and / or replace the O ring on the coolant rail. Impossible to get off without removing pump and stat. Or rail which is harder !! A new pump comes with a new gasket which requires the old one, if original, to be cut off as...

First pic. That one. Normal fuse goes in the top slot i think, run that to the in line fuse, switch, back to live. Nope no relay needed. Had that on my old 110 for years without any issues, and on my D2 for a couple years.

Why does it need a purple undercoat?

Well, the "What did you do today ..." thread is not the best place to track all the wiring stiry. So here an update and summary so far: All cables are identified and the routing as well. The rear harness is in, the main harness passes...

All the cables are now identified! Tomorrow the instllation and testing, Sunday reassembly of everything. If it works, TÜV next week!

Thank Thank you very much for this. No relay needed? Which piggyback fuse? Sorry very novice with knowledge for parts on this. I feel I should be using the gold tap, 12v to switch and inline fuse to TC system Sorry very novice with...

Always wise to change the water pump if the pulley is at fault, also you may as well do the thermostat at the same time, change both belts. Gates https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174947881084 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162597598422 ContiTech...
