I was trying to avoid a rebuild as the carb itself has been on the Landy less than a year... I can see it has '21' in the casting so its not that old either. The one thing I haven't checked with the carb is the float level needle valve though...

So at this point I've had the jets out several times, cleaned the float bowls, put it back together. Then on testing it I found the idle cut-off solenoid seemed to be stuck out, so changed that for the one on the old carb that worked fine. I...

Right so last weekend after replacing my trailing arm bushes, I decided to go out for a drive... I pulled up to some traffic lights and could hear a missfire, which got a bit worse and then ultimately it just cut out. I managed to start the...

Hmmm, of course they did! Someone clearly having second thoughts, of they've told the wife and she said not a chance :D

I went for the cheap option, only about £300! I got one of those chinese made Static arc MIGs and bit the bullet and got a proper gas bottle to go with as I knew I needed to go gas really. But it totally paid for itself just for this one job so...

Oh no! Mine had a couple of small bits in the same places, seems like a common place to start rusting through. For me it went from investigating why there was a circular plate screwed onto the crossmember, to cutting some holes, buying a new...

What did you put it up for out of interest? I mean it is still generally hard times for people but there will be plenty out there with cash waiting for the right project. You can't really go too far wrong with something thats already been...

I'm not sure how many more new tools my shed can take :D Yeah I mean its fun up to a point, but it does get a little frustrating when I can't take her out for a drive when I feel like it. I'm trying to get more things sorted now as I want to...

I don't have much experience of either side yet really, but at least poly bushes are much easier to change again. I didn't even get much of a test drive in as the damn thing decided to start cutting out on me after like 15 mins. I thought I...

I was just replacing those ones with black poly bushes as I knew I'd be struggling to replace like for like without a press etc.

So today I've finished off changing my trailing arm bushes, got one done yesterday and did the other today, so that's the pair done and cleaned up/painted. I only had to cut one bolt as well so that's a win, some kind previous owner put copper...

Youtube is a very good resource to help tackle a lot of DIY jobs etc these days. Ultimately as a lot of people say Land Rovers are just giant meccano sets, everything is just fixed together in one way or another and can be unbolted etc. I've...

Today I did the massive long job of cracking off the big nut on one of my rear trailing arms... I thought I'd see how tight it was as the front bush is well past its best and needs replaced. It turns out the answer is not that tight...

I don't have a Landy with a DPF, but I'm very familiar with them from other cars... So as lynall says above, it will be because of something else either failing or not happening. The typical issue you see is people driving around with the fuel...
