The bore and stroke of the 19j is the same as the 300tdi at 90.47mm and 97mm. This is because the block is virtually identical.

Or maybe a couple of nice Shackleton wing backs.

It is usually self bleeding. Just turn the wheel from lock to lock with the engine running a few times and the air will be pushed out as the fluid circulates and will vent out of the little hole in the reservoir cap.

Try with a new battery. Sometimes when an older battery goes completely flat it becomes useless. Have you checked what voltage you are getting off the battery? The other problem is that if one of the plates in the battery has become oxidised or damaged, you can see a healthy voltage but not...

Grrrr, 3 Amigos have come out to play, time to buy yet more new bits.

WTF is going on with that supposed 2A on that list? Leaf sprung chassis on parabolics with mercedes brakes. 19J engine. Defender/110 gearbox and dash. **** knows what is from 1965 but that is dodgy as **** and he is asking nearly 5 grand for ito_O

I think it is something of a bitsa. There are definitely parts on that are typically military such as the spring hangers, extra chassis bracing, bodywork and switchgear. The reinforced axles were not fitted to all military 109's. The rear crossmember could well be a later replacement for a...

But please do a search before heading over there. This subject has been covered many, many, many times and asking the same question again may lead to answers that could cause offence. :D

If you want better power and economy.................... Buy something that isn't a 2+ ton 4x4.:p

I had this with my old 110 V8. I think I had a Friday afternoon special and at various times previous owners had tried to fix (bodge) various electrical faults. I got so tired of trying to trace faults in a wiring loom that bore no resemblance to the factory wiring diagram that I ended up...

It sounds like you have an earth wire come loose somewhere causing a short.

Or at least have a good laugh :D

You don't need an earth strap that long. Shorter is better as a longer cable means more resistance and a bigger voltage and current drop. Just use the shortest one that will work.

I have just checked and amazingly my 2002 TD4 is showing as ULEZ compliant.

You can visit https://www.landrover.co.uk/ownership/software-update/index.html to see if yours can be updated.

Can you do a firmware update on your unit?

Have you got that message on cut and paste by any chance Hippo? :p:D

This is the tratter section, you can't be using long words like that on here.:p

Those cables don't look great. It is important that your wiring is in as good condition as possible. Corroded and poorly connected wiring is one of the most common causes of electrical problems. This may be the ideal time to renew some of your ignition wiring, particularly as this is the wiring...

If you do try starting it with the handle, be careful. I had to do it several times with my series III, if you get it wrong it hurts. Make sure your ignition timing is correct, if it is too far advanced, you will get kickback. When holding the handle, do not wrap your thumb around the handle...
