    It is difficult CMR, your problem is that any car in Kenya is expensive. The new price plus the duty, even on secondhand cars means taking them elsewhere and selling them isn’t economically viable. 12M KES is £69,096 according to xe.com today...

    Ahhhh, understood, my apologies once again. My Mk1 started as a 200TDi but now has an auto 3.9 V8 EFi (with a Mk1 type gearchange), possibly from a Range Rover, so it is a bit of a crossover. I guess that is why the Mk2 wiring diagram seems to...

    Apologies, it is on my Mk1, but agreed, it could be on numerous Landies. Plot thickens a little. The black and white pair are closed with key in 1, 2 & 3 but not 0 so that makes sense for key in sensor. Guessing I can just solder those...

    The only useful advice i can give is to take it to a mechanic that knows Landrovers. If the garage that did the clutch will do the extra work for free then no loss i guess, but if you are going to be spending more money find a landcover mechanic...

    Looks like quick release clamps for netting down bags or similar to stop rolling around. Note from the bend of the prongs going to a frame off angle to stand proud. Wild guess 🤔

    Guessing they are after market tie-down strap anchor points. Off a roof rack perhaps?

    Hi everyone, Could anybody help me identify these 2 parts? They are from a Landrover. Made of metal with a plastic screw top. it also slides. I feel like it is made to secure stuff but I really don't know. Thanks in advance Sarah

    It's probably overkill, as the engine is extremely quiet no tappet noise or the dreaded liner tap, more to do with preventative maintenance. However I am at 122,000 miles. Since this car has been hidden away for a few years this is something...

    I would have thought so as a cam change will effect the characteristics of the engine on it's own. Thread carefully as the factory engine would have been to a spec. suited to the model. Remember Newton's third law :rolleyes:
