@GrumpyGel I’ve just been over and plugged Pscan in for @GP1006. Connected to Wabco ECU and no codes. In fact, could only find a code on the engine side for the fuel temp sensor, and a code on the srs side… possibly linked to 3 amigos? Took it...

So you want to spend £2-5k on a D3, use it as a daily, take it green-laning, but not spend lots on maintenance and repairs? Good luck! You might get lucky. You need to find one that has been loved but is still cheap(?), so as @lynall says, I’d...

Steady on! You'll have Stanley Sir! getting friction burns on his chode.

I left the auto in reverse instead of park so good news is the inhibitor switch works ffs🫣

Not as bad as the cable ties on me wrists

How they feel against the skin?

I quite like walking around in mine 🫢

Thought i would post an update as I've made progress. On another recent thread someone posted that the air intake temperature sensor works in tandem with the MAP sensor, and I can confirm that if you just replace the temperature sensor without...

Top of my head torque converter recon 1.4k, a few sets of tyres 2k at least, they like to eat tyres, 6x injectors 1.2k due to unstable idle, quite a common fault, just last month mot fuel tank skid plate 250 quid, battery 120 quid, this is its...

Yer secret switch was left 'on' and you, helpfully turned it 'off' ? ;)

Rears; 302mm diameter Thickness new 12mm Thickness at service limit 10mm Max runout 0.08mm

Nah, I'll help a Cantabrian to pay for his kids school shoes rather than give money to a Chinese iron works. I should think the rears do a lot less work than the fronts and will last a long time anyway. Anyone know the original and minimum...

Pretty sure it's illegal (or against the rules) to pretend the main driver is the lowest risk. When my son passed his test not one insurance company would allow me to be the main driver on his Ninety. It had to be insured in his name and me as a...

Agreed

Useful HP pump exploded diagram. Useful if, with all the springs in, it explodes !! https://injectionpumps.co.uk/interactive/interactive-bosch-CP1-parts-diagram.htm Not identical but similar...

A D3 is a Land Rover. Any Land Rover can be a money pit. You don’t need any particular Land Rover to go green laning (save for the really technical stuff).

I have had my d3 for ten years and reckon 1k a year on parts alone! that includes tyres etc. £700 a year road tax, 25mpg average. Never failed to complete a journey under its own steam. That said if something big goes I reckon it will be the end...

I get what you were asking, even if some don’t !!! You’re not bothered about not paying or paying tax. You’re only asking if your car is “officially” a historic vehicle as it is “actually” 40 years old and you can then enter it in historic car...

Thanks, that's what I was expecting to see! Think I'll have to get the disks skimmed and a new set of pads. Hope it hasn't knackered the calipers.

Give it a new set of disks too, yer tight git!

The handbrake does not operate the brake pads on an F2. There are separate shoes

I’m near you, with an F1 specific reader 😉 PM me

I’d say defo wrong pads… For reference, here’s my back brake… (MY09)

The only thing I can offer is that I had awful trouble with camshaft sensors on my F1 td4 preventing starting. Replaced it 3 times over 12 months… (yes, I learned to get a good make) Double-check the cam sensor you have in is known good by...
