Are you sure that fitting the spacers will allow more lock? And what about your poor wheel bearings

From his name I'd guess he has a 300, When I cut off my rubber sleeve I found surface rust underneath but only where the rubber was, so it had trapped moisture inside, so I cleaned it up, painted it and left the rubber off

manual? or early auto without edc? want the injectors and injection pump, to be sent off to get redone so not worried if dirty/old/not known to work or not

Aye top blokes generally

Unless by pure luck the resistance range is the same then no it will read wrong Did you fit the same style of thermostat (foot bypass type or sliding type) and were the dimensions the same, personally I prefer to have a 74 degreee but an 82 is fine, 88 is too high for me, if your gauge is...

Did you have to alter the timing away from what it was to get the pins in and on the marks or would the pins go in before you pulled it apart?

300 vac pumps are always going, the one on my donor engineeas no good, chucked a new one on and me brakes were back like to before with the old engine

engine mounts the same, will need defender temp sender but could take that out of your defender engine, heater pipes are bound to be different, what ancilaries are being swapped/staying, like radiator and cowling and things like that?

Kepp the pump close to the tank as they don't like sucking, and have the regulator as close to the engine as you can, so that for the majority of the run you've got the full capacity of the pump and it just drops the pressure at the end to give the needle valve an easier life

I've got a second hand pump you can have, no idea whether it works, came on one of my donor cars, been on the crap pile outside for the last couple of months, your welcome to it though

Typo ^

Maybe a resistor someone has fitted to try and make the fuel gauge read more acurately?

And dont try start engine or even turn on heater or headlights because you'll melt the multimeter

Don't want to be running out even if you've got a can of diesel That is for older diesels anyway, not sure about a TD5, maybe it would prime and self bleed?

Paul, negative camber is top out? I don't think so So your land rover hs postive camber, probably because the swivels/ball joints call them what you will are done in, the more leaning when you turn the wheels is because you have castor, castor is good, the wheels are supposed to turn on an...

Grind a slot down one side with a long die grinder, obviously take care not to go through at any point, it's actually surprisingly clear when you've gone right through the liner at any one point, do that all the way up and down on one side and it'll go pop and crack any few little bits you miss

By just running it up to temperature I suspect you mean holding it at fast idle stationary or even worse idle stationary, if this is the case then the new rings wouldn't have had anywhere near enough cylinder pressure to get them to bite into the bores and bed in, now it's all glazed I suspect...

Fully agree with this part^, and about using the pipe cutter and let the die clean out the centre of the hole for that matter If your having to do research and ask about what to get and even just things like not knowing you don't need a bender for 3/16 cupro pipe then pay someone else to do it

Cheers Flossie, muchly appreciated

Thank you Flossie, to confirm do you mean port closest to front of vehicle
