    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Yesterday I finished fitting extended arches and wheel spacers. Then took wing air box and wash bottle off to repair two small holes in inner arches and now have many more larger holes to do. Then ran out of mig wire doh.. Learnt with discos the more you do the more you find. Will it ever stop?

    4days to do it in ?

    3 days easy if you ignore the weather and gear up. I'd say 2 on a normal car but landys like a good seized or busted bolt

    auf_wiedersehen_pet's build thread.

    With all the stuff you have done on this car buddy a bearing is so easy. If never done b4 1 hour is all that you need to sort it no problems. Just buy bearing kit. Tub of grease and the big box nut spanner. All that will be 25 quid max no real special tools needed. Just rag hammer and drifts. If...

    td5 starts then conks out please help

    That's more like a stuck injector as it knocks due to overfilling and then it misfires and cuts out. Can you help keep it running with throttle?

    breakdown from an off road site

    Hi buddy I'm an RAC patrol myself and technically to the rule book the patrol can refuse to recover you if he deems it's been broken off-roading. And normally you can't get away with it looking like it has been off-road. All major companies have the same clause so it is just look of the draw on...

    Loss of power under load

    Turbo hoses collapsing under load causing no air flow but still has fuel hence smoke

    new head gasket and skimmed head....still high pressure in cooling system

    Did you reuse the gasket. Or is it they way it's been written here or just read by myself. Bleeding a 300 tdi ain't hard. Fill the rad then fill thermostat slowly till it pushes out of the header tank. Fit plugs and run it up till hot and keep topping up at thermostat. Header tank just sorts...

    Just Wont Fire

    It's a derv. All you needs is fuel and compression. And bit of warmth is its s bit cold. Try a sniff of brake cleaner rather than ez start as its less likely to lock the lump up, in the trade we call it knock and lock if to much used.

    Turbo won't cause a missfire. Compression test first then send injectors away for testing is my advise

    Do I need flexi/cut arches?

    Looked on search but can't find my answer. Basically I have 265/75 16 insa turbo special tracks on std alloy wheels and a two inch lift. I have a set of 30mm spacers to fit but not got arches yet as I'm fed up of the rubing on radius arms even with lock stops fully out. Basically can I fit...
