Thanks mate just want something to get all those awkward places get rid of surface stuff probably only use once so don't want to spend too much

Had couple of good days but forgot couple of bits namely rear oil seal, but there's going to be a few bits I forgot I'm sure. Did piston protrusions yesterday all between 0.541-0.590 but a couple are close so going for two notch 1.17 playing it safe, ordered gaskets and bolts and water pump and...

Hi all can anyone reccomend one of those sandblasting setups that they've got on well with I just want to clean up a few areas get a good key on a chassis not doing any big areas

Same here guys have 3 D3s and a D4 which has a broken crank again not a brag, more an admission of insanity, no longer any point in having a wallet

Thanks mate kinda what I'd heard in great detail still love this motor faults and all

Yes made by ford for Landrover, jaguar, citroen, Peugeot apparently so I heard french had input in design wanted it more compact to fit transversely but you hear these things but wouldn't suprise me, Discovery 4 air breather box pictured many more parts like this

Cheapest option is to buy a running driving s type or early xf and do the switch yourself, I'm building one myself and can confirm its expensive, doesn't always scrap the block but there's more than a good chance, crankshaft too thin under 7mm in some areas good luck all the best

Hi mate it's a cocker poo cross terrier, missus been looking for sometime for a companion for our Jack Russell fell head over heels, surprisingly we also have a squirrel who I found as a baby and weened him from a couple of weeks on now had him about 8 years his names Cyril nutkin only in...

What a day, had a lesson/lecture about shells today, lucky to spend an hour or so with machine shop today, took main caps and selection of bearings, and information available from Lr time well here goes this is where I'm at seems kings I originally fitted and questioned are in fact correct, but...

Can confirm have found issues with bearings with many pointers from Lr time he is absolutely spot on king mains MB4276SV do not fit 276dt even though advertised every where as so mains housing of 2.7 internally is 74.98 and the 306dt bearing is for a housing of 75.098-009 you can only fit if you...

Manage to possibly resolve issues well at least I think so mains caps in picture old shells fit almost flush 0.28 protrusion when flush at other side, new king bearing protruding 0.85 but when I fit in 306dt mains cap same 0.20ish protrusion, seems german fella may be correct, going to go to...
