just wondering, is this from neutral, bang in drive then flooring it straight away? or already in drive, floor it and it does nothing for 2 seconds? do the revs jump up or like pause for 2 seconds?

Has to be said this is also par for the course with an auto, the torque converter has to power itself up, and there may be some electronics involved which might also be a factor, but not sure about that. @sierrafery will tell us. You get used to...

I took mine on the mx track 🤣 🤣 Yer very spirited of me.

I never had my D1 "flip" but then I doubt I drove it as spiritedly as you might, even in the Dales!!

The downside being you take them off and have an accident which is investigated then you will be in deep do do. D2 never came without them fitted.

I’ve just had a look at various lift kits and none mention ARB’s

I'm glad you could be assed, I just couldn't!! 🤣 🤣

I don’t think a 2” lift would affect the bars. They would just rotate slightly within the bush to compensate for the lift. I’m no expert on lifts though, so could be wrong.

In the event you decide to replace them, I just happen to have a set for sale 😁

Not being able to exceed 3000rpm is commonly fuel related i.e. a failing fuel pump or faulty regulator. Have you tested the fuel pressure ?

I mean, you can cut the rest off so nothing is there and then they can’t test it so it won’t fail. But I’d be inclined to replace them cause it sways like a cowgirl on a buffalo without them, in my opinion. If you did replace, you can get +2 drop...

Ah well in that case it is angle grinder and flap disc to remove the last of the evidence, some black chassis wax and present for mot at another place.

Little update... it was by coincidence a failed wiper motor AND washer pump! Replaced the rear wiper motor and rear washer pump and all working again. Very strange they would both go at the same time! I did notice that the rear washer pump...

Britpart, like many suppliers, are engaged in a race to the bottom in relation to pricing, rather than concentrating on quality. I just replaced the suspension bushes on my lads 90, after 17 months. Britpart bushes totally worn out. Buy cheap...

No, not a standard one, I tried.. you can if you cut the cat exhaust in half and that depends if you keeping it or not.

That’s why I call britpart, “shi1part” cause that’s exactly what they all are sub par cheaply manufactured tat. Don’t get me wrong, they have a place if you HAVE to use a part as a quick fix but every sh1tpart item I’ve used has either broken or...

TBH, I have yet to see the significance of the letters and number. Unless it contains your initials of course. Can't see why it is worth that money. Loads here with NEM in, none so expensive...

With the help of one of the Reg Transfer sites I have tracked this down. Owner wants 9K for a plate I paid 180 quid for from DVLA originally. Good luck fella…… 😂😂😂

If you need spares this guy is good Call Paul on 01206 211623 - office 07828 278465 07760 955966 07840 428888

Charge or swap the battery first as an old/low battery can cause all sorts of electrical issues. Even the auto box will do as you’ve described. To source parts, I just go on eBay but there are a few on here people have recommended, I can’t...

No ramp here either but not an issue as it only leaks when my face is underneath

Changing the one on my TD5 was a right sod, but then I chose not to empty the sump first. Putting the new one in at arm's length through the little access port under the wheel arch, it got very slippy!! No ramp, obvs!;) 🤣

Also the flashing D in gear is to do with the autobox xyz switch. Also your battery is low, can you fully charge it or try a different one to rule it out?

As you said it just suddenly cut out, I think it’s more of a loss of fuel, loss of injector function, failed communication to engine ecu or crank position sensor has failed.

When you go to crank it, does the fuel pump run? Does the crank sound strong or weak?

There are two neutrals, 1 in the main gearbox and 1 in the transfer box. The main gearbox (R380 or LT177) drives an output shaft which typically spins faster than the engine in 5th, the same speed when in 4th and slower when in 1st 2nd and 3rd...

So, bit of an update. Unfortunately its still a non starter. Things we have tried since last update... Cranked it over with an oscilloscope on each of the injectors and found they all get 1 weak signal and then nothing. Which we assume is the...

Where do you park yer horse lol

Lmao you guys solder them and the like, my emergency fix is strip back wire, twist and tape hahahah!

Yur, well I have stuff like that too, but I don't carry it around with me int cars! The choc block gets it home then it gets fixed propah, usually!! 🤣
