Expensive day…. I stripped the nearside front as play/clink was raised when it was inspected. On removal, swivel was full of oil. Oil full of grease. We already knew that would be the case didn’t we! Plan was to just replace the cv and drive flange as these were assumed to be at fault. Now...

Did you sort your fuel tank? Bet someone replaced the pump without the seal!! Looking good

I read the title and thought “I know this one, I’ve solved it with the connector behind the glove box. Then I read it was 23 plate and not 300tdi 😂🤦‍♂️

Did the same mate - tapped easily being brass

There’s an egr one in head you can use - I read it was m10 fine. My adapter didn’t work. I ended up tapping the thermostat bleed screw and have a sensor there. As above - need to find why it went and also know that the head isn’t cracked or damaged! I’ve fitted oil pressure and water temp to...

It’s working. Couldn’t tell you why but not going to question it 😂 both that and the rear screen illuminate. Door switch fixed - robbed one from the other car. Only thing I need to do now is drive shaft and member but don’t know what to order as don’t know spline detail without removing. All I...

Door switch fixed, intermittent wiper fixed, courtesy light fixed and warning buzzer that I’ve left the lights on works. This all suggests to me that the original MFU works and fog is more lightly to be wiring. Hopefully I’m not being really stupid right now - is rear fog switch the one on the...

Wiper unit was totally seized as suspected from the bulging on the scuttle when activated. One of the splines was locked solid. Left it soaking in diesel and freed up then de - rusted and re-assembled and installed. Once again, old shock bushes replaced the originals. Intermittent wiper doesn’t...

I’ve done the top of windscreen, corners referred to, edges of scuttle and top of a pillars. I have a small leak still but it’s from a previous repair on inner wing that someone’s done and not put seam sealer on. You can get them water tight! Any of your parts arrived yet? Get yourself a couple...

No was a while ago. I put it on the a pillar, chamfered into the end of the gutter trim if you can picture that. It then ran down to the back of front wing/bulkhead gutter. It didn’t look all that great but I didn’t care. Basically it kept water coming off the roof and down the screen from...

Fiamma drip stop - just googled what I used

I had the answer on mine 😉 I used what I think was caravan door edge lip/gutter as it ended up annoying me so much. Worked a treat

Gotta be a dying breed now surely. I’d guess a lot of the good techs got snuffed up by the restorers/expensive defender builds

Yeah saw they were! I may just go Ashcroft to be honest. Rather pay for decent that scrimp for crap

No did mean driveshaft or half shaft. Ashcroft do offer HD half shafts. Wherever I look it’s either britpart, allmakes at around 40 quid or straight up to 300 quid for set of hd. I don’t want britpart or allmakes drive components. I’ll forever be wondering if it’s going to **** itself

Hi all, Any idea where I can order the above as OEM rather than it turning up in blue box? Ashcroft do HD ones but that’s overkill for me really. Just want a properly made one and not junk Thanks

Phone holder on a camera mount (for waze) and 2 no. Gauges plumbed and wired in. Adapters I got for water sensor were no good so a tapped the stat brass plug and screwed sensor to that.

Not tempting fate but there was no water in the d1 interior today after the rain!!!

Excellent mate. Let’s us know how you get on. Those little rivets will likely break when you pull them. You can get them on eBay in a bag which will probably post to you. A lot of people don’t put them back on as they allow wet mud and junk to sit behind them but I think they look nice to finish...

Did try to run the sequence mate but no joy in getting it to go. Probably due to the door switch.
