Let us know if you make it!

Oooer... that flex plate... Thats not easily fixable is it save a swap. Might have got one from Paddocks but I bet thats not a stock item. Fingers crossed that he makes it!

Ah I get you. How annoying!

Let me guess - ones an M13 and the other is a 3/8th thread...?

I was thinking more of the inevitable leak past the pistons - he said it had been a while. Of course the master could have failed entirely that might do something similar to this but you'd expect to see a leak somewhere surely on all this that's what puzzles me.

No. Disco 1 for a start can be twin circuit or single circuit for a start... and some are different thicknesses for vented discs... I think they all have the same bracket holes but I stand to be corrected - you can for example fit single circuit Defender calipers for thick vented discs on a none...

Depending on how waterproof they are... I;ve seen people jetwash such things with good results. Obviously if they are actually card that's a bad idea...

unless it's lost so much fluid the master cylinder pistons are uncovered...? I mean I had thought if you filled the reserviour up and drove slow and gentle you would still brake but that's toying with it being an Unroadworthy Vehicle which if you crashed....

I got nowt on this evening if you need another chimp to hold tools give me a shout lol. Not got spare flywheel sadly. Lets hope you are not splitting a box off.

Cool. I was just wondering if it could be a blowing manifold gasket I know they can rattle sometimes as the gas goes past. About all I can think of...

OK you are just past the closure then so that wont worry you. Manifold rattle is a bit more worrisome theres turbo's and all manner of stuff up there that can go wrong.. I suspect it's start looking for things that are broken and when it's cooled strip bits off and poke... about the best I can...

~ I suspect that you have a disintegrating baffle inside the exhaust someone. Not too up on D2's but I'd start shaking the pipe when it's cold enough or if you have a rag and see if you can find the bit that makes a noise. http://www.4xfortyone.co.uk/ is in Wakefield and close enough by that...

Well firstly the M1 near Leeds is screwed so where are you...? Services? Does it run OK and it's just the noise? exhaust note changed? Any warning lights?

They can still fail on exposed conductors and on being cracked it's just the lamp operation for correct wiring that is checked on a 13 pin in addition.

Guys this is MW we are talking about - as noted above it'll probably be a ferrite rod. Fiddling with the external antenna may be pointless. Check first the following. 1. Do you lose of change reception if the external antenna is unplugged (just to check if it is an internal antenna or not) 2...

It's a state of mind... Just had some random guy stop me at the office and say "I used to have a landrover, I've got something for you" Complete rear mount twin jerry can holder and two nice jerry cans. Free. Just because he knows I'll use it as it was meant to be used and look after it...

20 inch of vacuum is a third of atmospheric - I'm impressed that the wabco pump can generate that much TBH!

Overcooling the engine is bad for it. Also it wont let you - all it will do is run less water through the main radiator if you turn the heater on full inside. The engine is designed to work at it's running temp - that's when all the clearances are correct.

Why are you doing this? Surely fixing the cooling system on the engine is a better idea....

That needs to be open to atmosphere to allow for changes in pressure if you take it up any significantly large hills. It probably wont affect matters much in the UK though.
