Worrappens if the ferrys around scotland breakdown whilst at sea. If they can't fix themselfs do they gerra tow home?

Thanks for your replies and brute force will the way to go. Less keen to get ripped-off by the local LR dealer.

Could be stuck needle float valves. As others have said, they are simple and loads of stuff ont tinternet to help you strip and rebuild them. I doubt rebuild kits are too expensive, but replacement ones sure would be!! They are very easy to...

I have no experience of these carbs on the V8s but I'd just whip them off and take them apart as much as possible to try and figure out whats going on. They do look like pretty simple carbs to be fair, simpler than the Weber on my 17H... and even...

Crank sensor?

We buy barometers every now and then in mixed lots from auctions and sometimes because we like the look of them. Of all the ones we have, about 5, only one works. And we took one that we really like to a specialist to fix, he charged us £100 and...

Great news DG. Now stop muckin about an get another Landy, ok?

We had another friend, OldSeaDog. He was Tyneside way iirc. Quite impenetrable until you spoke his words out loud, or out loud in your head. Great guy and sorely missed.

A powered finger file is your friend to grind off the heads off the bolts. Unless they've been removed already sometime recently the heads will chew off and you have no hope of getting them out.

Now you've jinxed it

Or ATF and acetone, as professed by quite a few including the Repair Shop! Should be quicker than a week!;)

Put it in a press, as long as the end of the thread is protected it should push out. If you deform it, it's a new Cv joint 👍
