After all that time getting the back bumper off, I've worked out the best way to do it. I should have got hold of 2ml of cannabis oil and sprayed it on the inside of the bumper. Then I should have taken the vehicle through customs.

If it's none of those it could be the exhaust recirculation back into the engine causing the problem.

At the end of the video it says that it costs £80,000 for a 20W one, the one shown in the film retails for a cool half million. Probably, until the patents expire, the only users will be heavy industry. As I wrote, "not particularly useful at present".

Mr. Dieseldog, Sir, when you come to replace the back box crossmember on your vehicle, would you be so good as to provide us with step by step instructions on how to do it?... because mine is bbb (buggered beyond belief) and I wanna learn how to replace it before I make my attempt and mess up...

Thanks.

Thanks. All information gratefully received.

All the same, your input is valued. Thanks.

Hi Dieseldog69, That box section which you're using to replace your sill. What would be its specificiations? Hi Dieseldog69, that box section you're using to replace your sill... what's its specificiations? (Sorry to have asked twice, I didn't think the first time had been posted... and while I...

Hi Dieseldog69, I've worked out how to sever the bolts which hold the back bumper on. I got a flexible hacksaw blade and one of those handles which clamp on one end, and sawed away at it. Because it's flexible you can bend the blade in to cut the head of the bolt off. Naturally, when you've done...

Thursday's here and now I've spent a happy half hour rounding the heads of the bolts, but they've not moved. The back box of the bodywork is seriously rusted and will have to be replaced anyway, so I think it's going to be a case of cutting it away to get the angle grinder in to take the heads...

I've managed to get the plastic end cap off one end of the bumper, so I've gained access to the two bolts inside the bumper. This allows me to put WD40 onto them. Hopefully I'll be able to get them to turn when I come back and try on Thursday.

Thanks again. It had occurred to me that I might drill a reasonably large hole in the bumper and try and cut the end off the bolt through it, then put a blind grommet in the hole, but I wanted to seek advice before attempting that trick.

Thanks very much. One more question arising out of this afternoon's battle with the beast, is there a recommended way of removing the bolts which hold the back bumper in place when they're severely rusted?

I'm trying to repair my Landrover Discovery, but know nothing, so I need to learn. Could you help me please? You've cut out and made a repair to the chassis. What gauge of steel did you use and where would one go to get it?

I was looking at the pictures of your Discovery. I see that there's perforation in the floor panel between the wheel arch and the main rear floor panel. I have something similar. I'm learning, so what's the fix for this? What does one have to do to repair it?

Thanks for the advice.

Thank you.

I have a 1996 Discovery 300TDi and one of the rear wheel arches (the bit that intrudes into the passenger compartment, not the little bit that runs along the bottom of the door) looks as if it is going to resemble a swiss cheese shortly. How difficult is it to replace the panel? Where can I...
