    Well after a bit of a hectic work schedule and a holiday I've managed to get back on with my Landy. After removing the bulkhead it was Tim to get the engine and gearbox's out. So first I removed the propshafts which was simple enough. Then once they were unbolted I removed the power...

    Oil in both intercooler pipes. Any ideas??

    I drained the cooler out and got about half a spray can lid full. But that's over nearly four years of use. What do you think would be the best way to flush out the cooler.

    Just removed the cooler now and there seems to be a mass of oil in there. There also seems to be oil around the breather on top of the rocker cover. Could there be a breather problem? Or is there anyway to check the oil seals in the turbo.

    Oil in both intercooler pipes. Any ideas??

    I don't think the engine is worn as it was rebuilt about 4 years ago but it is quiet well tuned and I have quiet a large intercoler so I'm wondering if it's pulling more vapour through than normal. It also has a small amount of water in the which I am taking as a bit of condensation as she...

    Oil in both intercooler pipes. Any ideas??

    Hi all. I'm currently in the middle of a rebuild and I have just removed the intercooler and I have found oil in the cooler and both pipes. What would cause this? Is this bad news? What's the best way to remove the oil from the cooler? Any advice would be great 👌

    Next time I've just 4 bolts to remove the bulkhead then it's engine and box removal time. Not so long before I start that I hope. 👍

    So after a while away I set about removing the bulkhead. So firstly I removed all the parts bolted to the engine side of the Bulkhead. I drained down the brake reservoir and the clutch reservoir before disconnecting the pipe work. Then unbolted both clutch and brake pedal boxes and removed...

    Great build mate. I'm doing mine at the moment going on a galv and I feel your pain with all the rust. I think mine was used to launch fishing boats looking at the state of all mine. 😖😖😖😖
