That's what I thought, just currently try to scrape off the half broken gasket that was on there

Clean it off thoroughly using a thin scraper held at a flat angle to the metal. The one I use belonged to my grandfather, worn to a fine, thin, edge after 80 years of good service.

Why is. Nothing ever easy? Lost one of the bolts for lift pump so had to go get another one. Then phone fell out of my pocket into a tub of diesel!
The fuel line that goes from fuel filter to fuel pump is that bottom or top cant remember I think it was bottom?

The bolt will be hiding in the engine mount ... next time, (yes it will fail again, just give it time), stuff a rag in the space and it won't hide ...

Stick at it. Working on landrovers gets better with experience. About ten years should see improvement! :D

ITS ALIVE!!!

Well done! :)

Thanks to every one, appreciate your help.

I also fitted a steering gaurd yesterday :)

Another of those things often fitted by novices. They make access difficult for all kinds of jobs.

My guess is you will remove it in a few years, when you see no dents or scrapes on it. Probably about the same time as you get rid of the big wheels and tyres! ;):)

Make sure you prune the dog before the pint or you'll knacker it ... ;)

Shame, always wanted to prune a hippie! :(

You really want dog clippers, cattle clippers are much too broad headed for the small curves of a dog. Quality electric dog clippers start about £70, I think.
