One down One to go And then never again 🤯 And that's with the tools and soapy water 🤣

Could you not get the engine mounts from the doner motor & add flat metal to bolt these on? Measure from the gearbox mounts forward to see where these need mounting. Iv always done my chopping this way.

Bit of an update to this, my 110 (red) now as a station wagon is perfuming flawlessly as expected. I still prefer the hard top body but this is the sacrifices you make by having children. There has been more times that I have had to use the...

Ah OK, have you tested continuity for earth between the battery negative and the components earth supplies and component bodies?

A friend spent a fair amount on some new wheels for his Mustang, while the insurance company were happy to cover them they would only payout for original spec wheels. In reality the original spec wheels would probably be more expensive with...

I'm sorry I didn't read your full post iv no idea about your hardships as I turn on my heated seats, steering wheel and climate control when I feel a slight chill.

I've seen the videos of Russians in Yakutsk, Siberia dealing with the cold with their vehicles and it's a hell of a faff. Some even leave the cars parked up and running 24/7.

That's the problem, you're effectively dealing with a computer nowadays and not a person. l had a long discussion with AF about the side steps on my 2005 Defender, the girl just didn't know what they were. When the policy came through it stated...

I have a 3.5 EFI & employed a remote amp from PS that failed after a month. Not impressed by the company's insistence in replacing the item rather than agreeing to a refund. I did some research & purchased a Lucas (yes I know ..) which exhibited...

That’s for a tool roll mate. Bit rough but it works. Base plate on mine sat behind the passenger seat but I use a bottle jack instead of the original one, bit safer I thought.

Had its new windscreen other day so it leaks again 😂

Prolly a panel that heats up and then the earth touches and makes the circuit again ... Usual Landy thing, check, clean and re-secure the earths ...

Nope but it's not the original bolt that's in, it's a newer one I fitted. I'll take it out and check it though. My hub seals are still good, it's just the pinion seal

Did you replace the bolt? Mine was blocked not the pipe Also it blew out from the hub seals

Been doing little stuff while I’ve not had a chance to get gas. Also been doing bits on pig. So much corrosion was on rear quarter. I dug it all out, then epoxy primered, then filler, then etched the bare stuff then dolphin glaze. Stripped rear...

Ok. As it’s working all is good… Wait till the winter it will go again

Do you have the pink relay that dips the headlight while on side lights?

It works again now so we will pretend it never happened

It was 6k all in.

my daughter had that argument with Hastings Direct ... she been declined insurance because she had an anti-cat theft device fitted and they didn't believe that it didn't boost performance ... :rolleyes::eek:

Well it just goes to show that you can’t cover every eventuality. Parked in Bayeux this morning and came back to find that some yob had attempted to wrench off my snorkel. They had managed to detach it from the A post and it was hanging loose...

I think you will find that weld is nowhere near the cooling jacket and the block has cracked as something has let go in the bottom end in the past.

Cornwall I think. I know it's quite interesting to compare prices but rather pointless at the same time as so many variations between people circumstances. For us Lancaster were also not competitive. Adrian Flux, in the past, we're actually one...

Bet I’m being an absolute clown and have knocked the ac on. I cut the belt so forgot I had it 😂😂

Not sure how the engine fan can come on before the engine starts? Unless I am misreading something?

It does seem like a break up of the windings/insulation inside.

They normally make a noise when they are on the way out. I just remove these & go electric. At least the engine will warm up quicker

Yes, I have read that but haven't tried it. Maybe the new unit is working as it should and the old one didn't.

Do they not start in the "locked" position then go lose shortly after? I thought in general they usually fail in the lose position. Sorry for the crap technical terms, engine bay looks proper tidy. What brand rad did you buy in the end?
