Now you know you should not have said that..........right? :eek: regards Dave

Gave me a grin :D regards Dave

Don't forget your nose! A car that has had leaking roofs for awhile tend to rot the sound deadening under the car and it can be a bit smelly (and rusty). Also tell the present owner you want to see the engine start from cold, and check it is cold before you start it up. This will help show...

Remember the polarity change when going from up to down and vice versa. I would run a wire from earth and a live to the motor across all terminals to rule out wiring first.....mind your fingers :(, also having voltage does not mean the window motor will work, you need amps as well, a bad...

With ABS it is possible as IIRC all the calipers are independently piped, but it would be rare. regards Dave

Sorry, I should have gone into more detail, if I was going downhill I would be using the diff lock, the weight transfer would allow the wheels to slip a little if need be even on hard ground. Also try to remember you 'cannot teach experience', anyone (with experience) will tell you the same...

IMHO before you do anything, turn the engine slowly and check each piston comes to TDC with a dial gauge. If the engine hydraulic locked when it was running a con rod could be bent, this will tell you if you have to get deeper into the engine (and wallet). If all is ok I would then proceed as...

If your modding straight away I would go for the 300 or even 200, then keep some money back to fix the odd problems that crop up with new ownership. regards Dave

I think Discomania is refering to the hinges, I cannot remember but they may be welded in place so there will not be adjustment. Does the door close properly with the lock post removed from the door pillar? Check that first. If it does the the fault lies with the lock mechanism. If the...

Be careful of, a) running in high in difficult sections, many (with respect) newbies find the car bogging and start to rev and slip the clutch to keep the car going which will shorten clutch life, use the low box as that is what it was designed for, and b) IF you are about to drive on SLIPPERY...

If the car owes you £1800.00 and it has just passed an MOT right? Find a secondhand engine in a car that you can see running and perhaps a short warranty (3 months) this should be around £750 - £1000, this will give you a chance to fit and run the engine and check it out. Obviously change the...

As the guys/girls said, if you have all the bolts out from the back then as it is the discs you are replacing just beat the hell out of them till they part, the hub will not even get a mark on it. Give the hubs a real GOOD clean up with a wire brush and file off any burrs, if not the disc...

To help understand why the overheating happens when you switch off is, as soon as the engine stops you have a problem called 'heat soak'. Engines get HOTTER when they are switch off. If you have a weakness in the cooling system i.e. a loss of pressure then the water will boil. This creates...

OOOOOPS! My mistake mate, I really meant the wa*kers Assuming there is no wa*kers society on the Landyzone? regards Dave

Perhaps there could be a families area, you know big signs stating camping/safe area ect. A 'NO TOSSERS' sign might not work but you know what I mean. A restricted area where it can be safe off roading. I have heard of some such places in the uk but do not know where? Here in Spain...

My point entirely, the wheels were spinning like mad towards the top, if they had gripped then surely he would have reached the top without the need to come back down (badly). regards Dave

:D like a fish to the hook lol :D regards Dave

I have seen fuel pipes (plastic) damaged by blasting to the point of letting in air (but not diesel out) which caused a nightmare trying to find a poor running fault. The stuff gets everywhere and as mentioned may take off paint where you cannot get to to recover/protect. Steam clean, then...
