Used it to tow my new 14" flatbed to work and give the once over.

I am looking for some small diameter spot lights to mount to the a frame of a winch bumper. Does anyone have any good recommendations?? Looking for something nice a bright! Cheers

Bores didn't seem to be oily. Did turn the engine over by hand and wipe them down. Seems fairly clean. Won't the stem seals stop any oil getting down the valve guides? Or is uncontrolled once the wear is past a certain point

Ha thats strange - I received mine last week! Waiting for the new bumper then its time to try and get the old one off

Took my head for a second time to replace the oil steam seals as I damged the first set. Started her up and still burning excess oil.... Is this normal just after pulling the head apart? I can't see it being the valve stem seals unless I have installed them incorrectly. Anyone had this...

After my head rebuild it seems to be burning more oil when its cold! I think I might have damaged two valve stem oil seals. On am exhaust. Will this causes oil problems? Or will it be stuff ive dislodged and should burn away. I have only done about 10 miles since the rebuild. Any advice much...

Finished a cylinder head overhaul. Started at 2 yesterday, and then again today at 10:30. Long job but runs lovely now. Think I might have damaged a new valve stem oil seals as it burnt white when it started. Hopefully its just a bit if oil that leaked into the cylinder or head. Cleaned the...

I agree! But I didn't say that to the lady's face........might add insult to injury :\

Drove mine into a Renault Megan. Gutted, ive bent my bumper, broke a light gaurd and I think I damged some paintwork as well. I think the Renault is a right off....

You see..... I didn't think of that. [emoji1]

Lovely stuff. Thanks for that useful tips in there. I have actually replaced my timing belt once before (with help hence asking for details on the big nut) problem is that I need to pull all of that out. And the sprockets the belt follows. Right off so there are just bare shafts sticking out...

Need to pull the timing case off of my disco 200tdi lump to replace oil seals that have let go. Does anyone know what gaskets I need for the time case to block? I can't seem to find the right ones. If anyone has done it before any advice would be much appreciated. Its a larger job to do! Just...

Looked at its red oil pressure light. Then stood back and looked at the whole thing. Then decided I want lot of money and a building to strip it and re build.

I've been there! Luckily I was local to home. So quick pull back from a mate. Its still haunting me though. Oil leaking out around the top of the cambelt housing

Mine is leaking everywhere. Its falling to bits and I've had enough: ( [emoji107]

I would do the cheapest thing first and get the wheela balanced. If they arnt balanced correctly the can give a lot of vibration, plus check to see for any lumps in the tyres etc. If you still thinks in bearing give the wheels a wiggle! Latteral movement will suggest a bearing that is worn...

Took a photo of it!

The day of the defender is looming. Sad stuff. Devastating in fact. However, I'm sure parts manufacturing will live on. Which brings me to my main point. What's to stop any of us buying up parts, galvanised chassis, engines, body panels etc from new of the shelf parts. And building a defender...

Having oil pressure problems :( Got a disco 200tdi in my 90 that has begun to burn oil, white/blue smoke upon startup, runs rough until it warms up a little. After a drive down the motorway for 15-20 mins getting everything suitably warm, when I let the engine run at idle through coasting or...

Think mine is dying :( got white/blue smoke on start up until it's warm. Oil leaking all over the top of the cam belt housing, bubbling up between the housing and the block. Noticed my oil light flickering slightly on idle earlier as well. Got a new (second hand) head for it but everything seems...
