So the marks have been there since you split the engine originally.

Oh I thought I was the only 1 ignoring it

No. Ignore it with the rest of us.

Had the head skimmed previously by too much & the valves have hit all pistons. ??

You're too late! I've done a deal myself for £7,350. And a big thanks to the guys who suggested it would polish up with some T-Cut because it does! The previous owner never, ever washed it so it got badly oxidized, but it scrubs-up nicely with...

The valves would bend on impact so would not cause damage. Normally if a belt/chain goes it would mark a few pistons not all of them Have you had any head problems?

I thought you would have upgraded the glass fuses. ( I do have the glass fuses and they can be finicky but are easily sorted)

So 26 pages so far. This has probably already been answered, but.. Why? I’m genuinely curious now. The time, effort and cost to purely save a few £££ and run your car at 1100rpm vs 1300rpm barely seems worth it. If this is purely a cost saving...

It would be best for the optimal ignoring, however, I keep it there to ensure others are ignoring including myself! Doh!

Do you reckon OP will be wearing Lycra while doing this? Might help his crazy diff change idea

You forgot skin tight Lycra. Plus on a bike you don’t stop for traffic lights

Should I remove this thread from my watched selection?

I attended my local meet last night, only a few miles from home. Some other owners had travelled an hour or more to attend. It was a nice relaxed meet up with a variety of land rovers.

Tailor made to drop in an engine and front wheel from a Reliant Robin. Best 3 x 3 by far. You know it makes sense Rodney :cool:

Crikey!! Rust!! Are you sure it's a land rover!? 🤯

If they had stated To British Gas P9 procedure, I know a few guys who could...

How many can weld to the BS5135 spec? ;) Great info though

I suspect the ECM is in limp mode because it doesn't see there is fuel in the tank. This is done to protect the high pressure pump. The issue is likely to be in the tank pump/sender assembly, which are known to give issues.

Or Carluke for that matter 😳

Indeed and am beyond grateful for the help That’s great and hope it helps others in what to look out for , it’s certainly opened my eyes that’s for sure and have a whole new amount of respect for welders in what’s involved Can clearly see the...

Fitted 'em to mine felt no difference, still rides like shít. :vb-biggrin: no real change.

Easier just to buy the disco surely?

Finally got everything together for swapping the Transfer box. Just need to wait on my knee getting better, so far, not so good. As mine was a working Landy all the wheelarches are damaged somewhere or other, now it's in a more genteel semi...

Bosh!!! All sorted.. new switch installed! Thanks everyone for the information and help 💪🏻

Lavish wax on the bolt regardless.

That’s blown the hub seals. Check your breather pipe on the axle to see if it’s blocked . Check the bolt itself as well. I know you say you checked them,can you blow through the pipe? It’s unusual for the seals to go.unless you had cheap ones...

Hi all i finally bought my first landy yesterday a 2002 4.6 vogue se. Being a retired auto electrician I should know better but also have always had british classics so I know about beautiful but rubbish build quality in the best driving and...

The doors are 34" so the bulkhead to tub measure should be 34.5"to allow for shut gap.

This is a great thread to follow along with. People often underestimate rust and just how involved the repairs are. You've been lucky here Gary to find such a helpful lunatic to take this on!

Thanks for the quick response and advice. Looks like I'll be moving the tub restoration works up the schedule.
