I think that nearly bolts rely on elasticity to generate the clamping force needed.

"I have to agree with Henry, I think if I found my chassis was beyond repair because of rustyness, I don't think I could justify any more spent on it and would have to let her go. Oh, and a catastroffic engine failure." Ours is a 2003 TD5 which we have had since Oct 2007. Earlier this year I...

Had a similar problem with the drivers door speaker.

Looks really good. I take it you turned it upside down on the stand to put the sump on. If it is hard like that then it must be really hard doing it from underneath the car.

I might be wrong but isn't the sealant only for pre EU3 engines?

It is supposed to be torqued to 25nm so it will depend on the torque wrench used how tight that will feel. A short 1/4" will feel tighter than using a longer 1/2" wrench. I am sure it will be fine. When I get an engine for our disco I am going to use brake cleaner to clean the threads, add...

One of my drain spouts had broken so I replaced with aluminium tube bonded into place.

I am sure 99% of drivers think they are special and better than the system but in reality 0% are better. If formula one drivers benefitted from it then the fact that its reactions are massively greater than humans is proven. The problem is that electronic aids and aerodynamic assisted...

I must have been lucky with ours as all the nuts came off OK except for one stud where there wasn't a nut. Hadn't been blowing or anything though.

I ordered this switch which is for a defender/discovery 1 as someone somewhere said it was longer. it didn't look any different from the one I took out but has worked well while the car was running...

Are you sure the play is in the front prop? You will get some play at the differential. If your brake hoses are as rusty as mine were you will be doing well to get them all done in a day.

There isn't a human on earth that has reactions faster than an ABS system.It performs cadence braking far more efficiently It was used in formula one till it was banned. I can't believe any cars are manufactured today without it.

Had to squeeze ours a bit to remove. Re-used plastic drain corners. Pretty sure the metal ones are better but the resealed plastic ones are working fine. I used this on the front sunroof -...

I understand now. I had mistakenly thought that the three amigos were being linked by the op to the transfer case being the wrong one, rather than the reliance on electronics for traction.

No water pump or alternator. Might be OK for a very, very short period.

I take it that you have tried replacing the slave cylinder with the original and the clutch pedal feels ok. Does the alternative slave cylinder produce the sam length of travel at the clutch fork for the amount of travel at the clutch pedal. First thing I would do is try the original slave...

Do you desperately need cdl? The earlier lt230 transfer boxes had it and it was re-introduced very late on. If the car is running right try it off road and see if the traction control does what you need. I am not sure why the three amigos should appear.

Silly question but when you press the fuel flap button is the key in the ignition?

Drop the tank and get a good mobile auto welder to have a look.

Is it an automatic? I can see a yellow and white wire on this TD5 circuit diagram but I don't know if they go to a grey plug as mine is manual and I just have a red plug and black plug at the ECU.
