Sometimes in life, things don’t happen quite how you want them to. It is how people respond when this happens, that counts and from the PDF Jake attaches, he seems to be polite, and offers as much information as he can (in the snippet), offering...

Hello, Jake here - Ashley, you're right, I didn't respond very quickly but I thought I'd share the conversation at it seems a little miss represented here. (of course confidential details hidden)

i think what i'm trying to say is the what-ifs.. but call me paranoid. a fast first start is critical is critical in this case, you dont want it coughing/spluttering for a min while it warms up when you need to be bedding in a new cam.. for the...

if its e10 petrol, that goes off much quicker and means more 'off' fuel per litre of liquid

Thanks Mark See below the link to the knocking sound.

PS. Nothing wrong with the belts, all model dependant…

i have to fix the dizzy yes ! that's could be my last job ;)

Yep, no HT going to the dizzy cap or HT leads going from it to the plugs… …and lordy, thats a lot of belts! Just have the one serpentine one on mine.

Take the spark plugs out (distributor cap seems to be missing ??). Then crank it on the starter motor & check the oil pressure and get the oil circulated where required. Then I would put sparkies in & get it to fire up & idel before revving it up.

Hi Almost finished the job : new cam and lifters, rings cleaned and oiled, composite head gasket...check the pressure oil pump with a mechanical gauge (25 to 40 psi with drill) just a little scared to give the fist crank ...should go to 2000 rpm...

Hi all, i have returned after selling my old 110 300tdi, i have got a CSW 110. The joy of owning a landy. Already blowing a 20amp fuse in the engimne bay now and again that i need to chase down and find out why lol. Rebuilt in 2018 on a marsland...

AI said… Converting a Range Rover Sport with 285/35 R22 tires to steel rims and all-terrain (AT) tires involves a few key considerations. Steel rims are generally heavier and offer a different aesthetic compared to alloy wheels. Additionally...

You won’t find AT tyres in that size, so you need a reseller that can recommend steel rims that use the same bolt pattern and offset, and then get ATs to fit that steel rim (as I’m sure you know). I find Maxxis Razr ATs are excellent on wet and...

Thanks Bud.

Warm welcome Grumpy! Kenyan based guy here, but occasionally in the Cape area.

Hi, A few months ago I bought my first Landrover: a 2012 Freelander 2 2.2d auto with 144k on the clock. Noticed a coolant leak (around 50% a week) - got the dealer to change the EGR valve under warranty. Problem fixed. Just got the timing belt...

I’ve been having rough running at idle and smells quite rich, it has power through the range it just misfires at idle and plugs are black wet and oily. Done a vacuum leak smoke test that the only place it leaks is from under the distributor cap...

The 31st was a long and difficult day! It all started going wrong about 200m from the startline when we found numerous deep, deep luggas (dry water course, normally cut 5-6 feet down and across). Leaning at 45 degrees then made the engine cut...

What have I missed?

I got carried away leak tracing and sealing with Captain Tolley and Tiger Seal, decided to rip out the upper windscreen over seal. This might not have been too bad, but then I had a bonkage mishap when fitting the new one. The good news is...

So not long after I bought the Landy he developed a funny noise underload, sounded like a belt squeaking or a bearing failing. Was a really weird one, got worse once hot. After some investigation I decided it was the OS exhaust manifold leaking...

Hi all! I (think?) I qualify still as a young’un around here at age 26, but when I first got hold of my SWB Series 3 at 18, I definitely did. Landies, particularly series vehicles, are in my blood. My parents met god knows how long ago when...

Put the new 50m of 14mm Red Winch rope on.

I was thinking of using these door hinges on my Disco but didn’t bother in the end. These would have been helpful, especially as you could ‘tune’ the thickness by altering them in one dimension. I need to get around to printing a Land Rover...

Nice, thanks Phil!

My penny-worth: Years Ago I owned a Rover P5B. The sump gasket needed replacing. When the sump was off it got a good clean. In it was a grey almost clay-like goo at the bottom and in that were numerous aluminium pieces = shavings. I wasn't hugely...

I should have left a gap between 'every' and 'one' there perhaps! 😁
