If they feel a bit tight when you loosen them squirt a bit of oil on the thread, do it up a bit then loosen a little bit more. Wind it in and out a little at a time and you should be ok.

Another Yes from me.

YES.

🤣

Keeps the weeds at bay on the block paving aswell🤣

That looks like its worth a go. A quick search around for Optima didnt find many results on t'interweb. So the nagging concern is how old is their stock and what's the shelf life? (Edit: data sheet says 2 year shelf life unopened container)...

I think Sikaflex do a similar tube where you use a standard gun. I think Optima 'might' be budget type products mostly sold to the trade.

3M will be the proper gear. I’m sure I asked YRM when I got the replacement part what they recommended and it was 3M, buts it’s stupid money just to use a very small amount of it. I’ve saved this seller and if it’s still on the go next time I...

You have longer springs?

They do 2" also, just to confuse things.

That might be crap, never used it, 3M is probably good but the cost seems very prohibitive for the casual user.

Mine did that and left me stranded in Waitrose car park. If you can try a tow start and see if that helps. Also a failing starter can affect the cps which means it will turn over a lot before starting and put the eml on. Solenoid kit did not fix...

You can get rivnuts with a closed end so, in theory, there is less chance of the threads getting water in and rusting up. You would need to be more particular with the length of bolt you use though.

Yes, take the mounting plate off, deal with the rust and fit some rivnuts in the original holes. Then bolt the mounting plate back on and then the filter housing.

Sorry, didn't notice you are new, we have an introduction section somewhere. Go and say hello and post some photos, we like Landy photos.

Pretty sure you just unbolt it, give it a go you will soon find out.

Fair enough.

You say that but td5 ecu earth is on the seat box.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/376123348536 How about something like this which is a 2 pack but uses a normal cartridge gun?

https://twinwoods4x4.co.uk/product/alr9022-defender-bonnet-stay-genuine-land-rover/ I don't know what a kit is, do you mean the bonnet prop?

Still the same vehicle with the same emissions.

There must be a tube of single pack adhesive you could use at a reasonable price.

You could fit a new wire and inline fuse from the battery, just remember to switch it off.

Really it would be a good idea to take the mount plate off and deal with the rusty chassis, might need to get the welder out by the looks of it.

I've just found out it's for the air conditioning, but I don't have it anymore so it's redundant!

I ended up grinding the bolt heads off, there was about 5mm bolt to get hold of with mole grips and surprisingly they came out easy.

Additional front spotlight loom maybe?

If you mention the year and model I am sure someone can help.

How did you remove the damaged timing case bolts in the end?
