Genius! I owe you a quid!

Not taking my roof off again, did last summer and some fecker dropped a roll of bail wrap on top of me nice shiny undented roof when it was in the shed..

especially having waved at a few in the past, inadvertently running them off the road at the same time.. Quite possible!

I never ever wave at other series drivers.. I, as they usually are, amd hanging on for dear life.

I had a rattle like that. I'd forgotten to do the wheel nuts up.

I've done this, same prob! The heads snapped off the bolt, not snapped at the block end, if I undo the rest of the bolts should it in theory with a bit of convincing slide off?

I havent got a filler plug on mine either as I discovered after I put range rover diffs in, Ive been filling it up through the breather with the exact amount needed... ought to get round to doing the same as you at some point!

I had the same prob with the oil seal in the timing case, did the same thing running along under the sump. renewed the seal and the sump gasket, not had a look underneath lately - probably still leaking!

Take the starter motor off and wedge a chisel in, haynes says something like that but be careful not to break/damage anything

Replaced the timing chain and tensioner, still got the rattle but at least that's ruled out! Must be clutch or gear box I guess - wait till it breaks!

I've got range rover diffs in mine as well, much better, you can drive everywhere in third gear, always a surprise when you realise youve still got 4th gear to go!

Can you get to the nuts on the inside of the door?

Yep especially when you have to do it once a week to stop the buggers dropping off.

a pic of the 90 from the top of a mountain in Hyddgen valley.. its in there somewhere! and a little village show..

A completely useless input as I know bugger all about diffs/axles but Ive got range rover diffs in my series using the original half shafts so thats no good! :S

Like Sean says, if you can do the brake pipe it's easy. The exhaust to manifold joint was iffy on mine as was the rest of the exhaust so I changed it - but that same joint was a minor problem to disconnect, I think I broke one of the studs but that was it. (oh and I didnt jack it up off of the...

The whole thing is a tin of baked beans full of nails/nuts/bolts... etc. On a more serious note I looked up how to do the timing chain and it seems do-able but a lot of frigging about removing lots of stuff, has anyone done it on here?

I'll try and do that, in the meantime any guesses will do as im sure the recording will be undecipherable!

All already mentioned but if youve done all of the obvious things like plugs, leads and checked the distributor cap, set the points correctly, put a new condensor on you've eliminated all of those problems. with that and cleaning the carb and setting it up correctly should cure it, I'd also...
