Sorry, I assumed it was the 200tdi digital clock, I did check the post to see what car he had but it was not mentioned, if I assumed wrong then I apologise for wasting your time. BTW what is this? http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/illumination-lack-76672.html regards Dave

It could be argued (and it will) that a snorkel allows the engine to breathe cleaner air, as opposed to the dust and sh*t flying around under the wheel arch! If this is the case then the air cleaner will stay cleaner for longer allowing the engine to breathe easier for longer, IMHO a snorkel...

As said the 300tdi is easier (cheaper?) to maintain however, the TD5 on road performance is smoother and quicker to get on the move than a 300tdi IMHO. Off road the TD5 hates deep water...........NUFF SAID!!! regards Dave

Engine off, put in first gear and handbrake off, Check all clear and crank engine with a little throttle and car will start and move off, it may jump a little but do not be concerned. Go a little higher in the gears than you would normaly, when you are ready to change gear, come off the...

The ciggy lighter is on a plate just unclip from the dash as per the clock, and talking about the clock, a Rangie analogue clock is a straight swap (cannot remember the year but there is only one square one that is the same size as yours) except you will need the bulb and holder from a Rangie, I...

Good to hear it all turned out ok, and not to expensive either. Nice to know we could help and possibly save you a few quid. regards Dave

The damper is found in the fluid line just above the slave cylinder, it is a round metal container with two pipes in it, they are at a guess about £10.00 or less. regards Dave

Good point, but the failure must have been catastrophic, or your car must have been overheating for quite awhile? Going back to my original point it is interesting that customers/friends have come to me in early Range Rovers complaining of water loss (they have a light on the dashboard), this...

Be careful it is soooo heavy!! I would pull the tranfer box off first, get some threaded rod as mentioned to align transfer box when putting it back. I tore a tendon in my shoulder twisting the transfer box into place last year, ended up with operation, no joke, been out off hospital now...

Inside the solenoid is a small plunger and spring. The plunger sometimes has a rubber washer on it. When ignition is on the solenoid (think electromagentic)the plunge is pulled upwards against the pressure of the spring allowing fuel through. Ignition off and the plunger returns with spring...

Careful where you buy it, there is some right ****parts out there at the moment!! regards Dave

If bleeding has not helped then remove the slave cylinder carefully from the bell housing, do this by leaving the fluid pipes connected. Be VERY careful the spring inside does not eject the piston and the rest of the fluid. The plan here is once the slave cylinder is removed and whilst...

It also appears to have a single row of rivets on the driven plate. I am unsure if this is an indicator that is is a standard plate but my HD unit (cannot remember from who) has a twin row of rivets holding it all together. regards Dave

The bottom of the filter box should have a small one way valve that will let SMALL amounts of water out and must be working ok. A soggy air filter though could break up and be drawn through the turbo and blown into the engine along with the turbo vanes.:( It is common practice here to...

This is possible but unlikely. A head gasket contains pressures in the region of hundreds of psi, your rad cap should have released pressure at around 13 - 15 psi. If your cap was faulty then hose bursting ect is also a possibility however, most (automotive) cooling systems hold pressure as...

As mentioned earlier, faults or rather 'odd happenings' can be caused by a battery that falls below a certain threshold during cranking. If the battery is a bit long in the tooth then replacing it should be done sooner than later. regards Dave

Sometimes many electronics need a second or two to reset i.e. capacitors to drain to earth, often a quick on/off/restart does not give the electronics a chance to get themselves ready for a restart. If you wish to put the car on testbook for peace of mind then go ahead but do not be surprised...

Check the cable that runs from the handbrake lever to the brake drum, there is a cable clip for the cable on the transmission tunnel. Check the cable has not come free, get your mechanic to check this and anything else before you go throwing money at it. The brake backplate has bolts holding...

The obvious amswer is to replace/repair the rad first. If the rad is known to be old then have it reconditioned or fit a new one, it could be clogged up contributing to overheating on the hill climb. I have found that many head gasket failures are normaly the failing of another part of the...

Where are you? regards Dave
