Is there anyone near Bury or Manchester with a nanocom or Hawkeye that could run a check on my landy see what shows up.. Could swap for some welding services or something.. don' have one and they are out of my budget right now Nige

Did I not read on here that when you replace the height sensors you have to recalibrate them.. Nige

Here' a question. What is best way to clean the engine to make spotting oil leaks easier. Especially being able to see where they come from. Watched a few vids on this, one was on a landy and they wrapped all the electrical connectors, fuse box etc in plastic, sprayed the whole bay with Gunk...

@02Disco2 you're gonna have to get your hands dirty sometime mate

Spit welding is best technique for wheel arches and similar thin plate with mig.. will look to do a short video simulating a wheel arch and some chassis plates

Happy to give you tips Resto.. wwhaat are you planning to weld.. chassis plates, body panels, overhead, vertical.. I do a short video specifically to suit what you want to do Nige

Mine was leaking and it turned out to be just the camshaft seals.. there just plastic caps at the top of the engine, one front one rear, they are the easiest things to change, just pop out the old pop in the new, rear on is a bit of a bugger to get to though.. heres a pic of the front one

Kind words guys, thank you.. I have done another only this time in pics rather than video and it is Land Rover specific.. started a new thread as i plan to do a series of them.. thread is here if interested. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/welding-rotten-body-panels.330164/ Nige

I had a welding threat going but thought i would start a fresh as this is specifically Land Rover related... A little background, as a day job I teach welding, fabrication and sheet metal at a training centre in Oldham near Manchester and i thought I would do a series of "how to" posts and...

My 2001 D2 has a constant fairly loud whirring noise from the rear of the vehicle.. It doesn't sound like anything wrong its a healthy motor running whirring but its quite loud... at first i didn't think anything of it as it has been there since i got the vehicle early last week. but yesterday i...

Ha ha no offence taken at all, when i teach live it's nothing like the video, I think i was concentrating too much on the camera and thinking about not messing up to relax. so shorter a bit more oomph and maybe split the subject matter into separate videos if a big subject. great i have...

Based in Manchester.. Like that idea.. Welding plates on chassis, repairing body panels etc

I'm open to suggestions on next few videos.. MIG, TIG, Stick.. Welding stainless vertical up stick, MIG welding thin sheet. What ever people want to see.. Nige

Maybe a 1/4 considering how important the EKA code is lol Nige

As promised I have made an instructional video... please be kind as this is my first attempt, I'm sure they will get better with time.

My story starts when i was very young, I grew up on a farm, not a working farm though, the huge stone barn was converted into a small factory where my father ran his farm machinery business following on from my grandfather. If anyone on here is a farmer you may remember JWT Weston tankers which...

My Disco has modern after market stereo so i dont has that problem, yes yours will need the radio code if disconnected from the battery. Maybe you should consider a new radio because disconnecting the battery, or a flat battery is gonna happen at some point and you will be without tunes. Nige

Reading the post you put a link to and looking at your problem I surmise that when the screw was fitted in the factory the rad was new and so was the plastic. Taking that screw out which is a self tapper then replacing it, if you don't get it to screw into the same threads it originally cut when...

I have decided to do a few instructional videos on "how to weld" I have been asked to do some repairs on a series 2 landrover rear body section (the rear wing with the seat on the inside, its in good nick but it looks like it was ripped off the last chassis because the bolt holes have all been...

Great replies from everyone and a good debate, guess the "Keep the air" vote wins... My last D2 was a 53 plate GS auto facelift model and had air and working ACE, and i travelled all over Europe in it over a 6 month period including an epic trip to Ibiza towing a fully loaded trailer and the...
