I wouldn't be presuming it's the injectors without diagnostics, seems like an expensive guess to me. With regards to fuel pump are you fitting cheap ones or VDO ones? A duff starter will affect the cps and make it hard to start, once stared it...

Camshaft front cover/grommet/seal on front of head. Rocker cover gasket. Fuel pressure regulator Power steering pump. Clean it all off with brake cleaner and start from the top down. Two different rocker cover gaskets depending on the year.

Wolf rims fitted!😁😁

Okay so I think I've sorted this - clearly not looking properly at 11pm last night when I was trying to fit it. If you look at the sixth photo, you can just about see the stud from the mount sticking down, this was resting on the chassis leg...

Keep us updated so we can share the journey.

That's the same answer I got.

As far as any authority is concerned it's legit. I had endless problems getting the police to understand that a local TD5 registered as a tdi was most likely a ringer. I had to speak very slowly to explain to them. It took almost a year and...

I reported to Ebay, the Ai reply was there is nothing wrong with the advert.

Didn't realise Ebay sent your details to another person if you message them

When was the last time you got stopped by the police? About 35 years ago for me.

You can get repair panels for the bulkhead and chassis parts.

You are right.

Why hasn't it got a cat?

Mine is stock, except centre delete pipe and it doesn't whistle at all. Think you will find your exhaust probably isn't stock

Oh, I guess you are trying to fit one to a TDI then?

Probably not. When you look on Ebay for parts and you see private sellers randomly selling a couple of doors or bonnet or whatever you know its most likely stolen. Or specialists come to think of it. Or Defenders pretending to be a Series, so on...

It's usually Land Roverists stealing them but can't hurt to do that.

I disagree, Britpart can be various things, aftermarket (blue box), oem (also blue box with oem on the label, genuine is in a Land Rover box. Anyway regardless of that I haven't had a propshaft fail but a UJ can fail which I presume is classed as...

Genius idea, why did I not think of this - will try this first. Thank you!

Another idea would be them sun shades you can get in Halfords (and other places) to put on side windows to protect babies and such like. Quite often held on with little suction cups, easy to remove when you want to use the sunroof.

Aren't the early diesels just a little bit crap?

How about getting it tinted? Must be a suitable option out there.

It what way is it the safest? In comparison to how many accidents Defenders are involved in or survivability in an accident?

I would buy petrol

They are essentially the same as windscreen adhesive, so pretty robust.

Actually PU adhesive would probably be fine, in conjunction with rivets, being non structural. 2 pack panel glue is more for structural areas.

That's difficult, not sure it's that easy to get rid of ill people nowadays. Of course they might be able to pay you off, good legal advice is needed. Wish you luck.

That .may be the case with me to a certain extent. Of course they get paid for other advice and therefore win more than they lose, wouldn't do the job otherwise.

Here you go.. wandered out to the motor. Unsure how they are held in place but looks like 1 piece.
