    Taking the advice of @Hicap phill the glow plugs were pulled out each pot and a good dose of oil squirted in. Then the glow plugs were back in and the engine spun over a few times to slosh the oil around. Each glow plug removed in turn and the...

    I just thought before I did anything drastic I'd better just try just one last thing. I popped the top off one of the carbs and momentarily inserted a cocktail stick into the main jet hole. It was bone dry, save for a tiny bit of petrol right at...

    Yes I think it's just heating and cooling and vibration over 13 years that's done it. Yes indeed, there's certainly been a lot of discussion on Landyzone about how stainless is not recommended for loadbearing bolts.

    I have a crack in my exhaust pipe. It's a stainless system I fitted at the end of 2012 so it's coming up to 13 years old. It's in the tail section, which is, fortunately, the bit of the old exhaust which is still intact. I jacked it up by the...

    Looks good. I think the wheels need a coat of white to finish them off. The black looks like primer to me. Just my opinion though. If you like the black wheels, not a problem. 😁
