so just to give some feedback on this. i whipped the old pump off, was rusty and not too smooth. but didn't seem overly bad so thought i'd double check the new thermostat...which was not working. so as a temp fixed drilled 3 holes into it. all back together and it runs right again, just not sure...

.....place bets on what it will fail on here. first problem they had is they can't get the bonnet open as the latch snapped! 1986 90.

good advice. i've just started running mine on SVO so will check filters soon

i hate removing the prop shafts! really fiddly job with spanners. no fun. should buy the proper tool really! i replace the uj's every 6 months or so or whenever i smash them.

for £25 i've ordered one and going to swap it anyway. i'll let you know how i get on!

please explain how you are doing the bleeding. is it your technique?

do a search. loads and loads of info...

cool. good advice. i think i need dislocation cones!! i hammer the hell out of my landy!

does it restrict articulation?

its a storm too. fully restored!!

i can post you a handle for a fiver.... pm me if you like

180k on mine. christ, my scirocco has 205,000!

cool. cheers

just noticed under the landy that the rear springs were not located correctly at the top and had popped ouf of place due to over articulation. any ideas?
