He's already made his bed, by buying it. May as well advise him from here on in. There was a post on another forum from a chap thinking about buying a range rover classic. I've been doing my best to try and convince him not to. But the OPs money (at least the start of it) is spend now. He's...

If its been run that day, but allowed to cool, does it then start in just the same way, or better? If "better" i would suggest it could be somthing as simple as injector leak offs. If they get holes in them you get air come in when its not running, and fuel drain back, so then it takes a fair...

The table i inserted was a clickable link to the comparison site. Usage - Not a great deal at all at present. Ive owned it 20+ years, and it was set up as a camper - but then we had a kid, and its been mostly been stationary since. Id like to re-do the camper bit of it this year, and the...

Island are still my go-to supplier. Ive not ordered for, probably 3 months now, but ive never stopped ordering from them. As i have said before, they are not always easy to get hold of, but they have never wronged me in all the years ive been buying stuff from them.

It's on the back of the injection pump. There's a small chance it may have a cover over it but unlikely. Basically, look for any wires connecting to the injection pump. If they're going to a black disc thing on the top, with a multipin connector, carry on looking as it's not these ones. A...

I'm pretty sure that, if you mount the air filter as per the 300, you will need to move the fuel filter off the bulkhead.

The brackets that go between the chassis and the, umm, foot well area - there's two versions with the elongated holes at different rotations. Have a look, and you'll see what I mean. I had to swap the brackets on my 94 (I assume the original brackets) to the other type and then elongate the...

I have xzl on the 101 currently. They've perished long before they have worn out. I currently have a set of 4 ok ones and a ropey spare, so I'm not rushing, but, looking to the future - I have a set of 5 15" six stud rims. 35" x 12.5" x r15 would be the tyre size id fit. There's a good...

Ps. I have a 300tdi 110 station wagon, with no intention of making it a camper. At time of purchase (2015) I could find td5s closer, and, often cheaper, than 300s in the same spec, but I specifically wanted the 300. I drove about 6 hours to collect the "spares or repairs" example that I found...

3 door, 300tdi As I understand it, the British military continued using the 300 as special order, after the civilian world had swapped over to the td5. Maybe the td5 would suit now? But the 300 certainly would. It's, basically, the default choice for reliability and ease of repair. People...

It's going to be fuel pump setup. The pin on the bottom of the diaphragm is commonly called the "boost pin". That works against the "fuel metering pin" The boost pin is kind of vertical, and the fuel metering pin comes in perpendicular to it. The boost pin is an asymmetric cone shape. So...

The pipe people are talking about "tells" the injection pump to dump in more fuel when on boost. Off boost it does nothing at all. It's all (more or less) at atmospheric. If you're problem is off bost, than it's not that pipe, irrespective of how stuffed that pipe may or may not be, it's...

Just to be sure - With your helper in the car, cranking it over, with the injector lines off, you're not seeing any fuel out of the lines at all? (Bearing in mind that we are talking small pulses, not some gushing flow) And you have removed the plunger from the stop solenoid and put the...

As above, it's not the correct part. I don't know why, but the petrol, which I think is the part mentioned, is shorter. The 300 diesel one is longer. And more money. I'm guessing the change may be in the bore of the pipe (looking up the part numbers for the olive etc would clarify this) but...

Pipe Return Fuel Tank 90 (Britpart OEM) NRC9678 (NRC9678) = £34.99 Painfully expensive...

That's the one with the BA screws also, I think. (A warning that, for some known reason, the screws on that port are different to every other screw on the vehical!)

...waiting for the next installment. I know it's sick, as, to the OP it's a whole load of stress, but, I'm still waiting for an update.

Eg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394081005516 (I've not purchased that one, know nothing about it, etc etc but it shows what's possible for a tenner, ish)

If you just want to get it sorted with a relatively low amount of bother, you can get the equivalent of those "boomslang" looms off eBay for about a tenner delivered. You could just grab one of them and use the current wiring to switch some local relays to run the lights. Seems like madness...

In typical forum fashion, I'll admit to skipping the information where it was stated that the lights worked with the engine running. Most of my prior answer is nonsense then. The issue, therefore, is poor connectivity causing voltage drop. Anywhere from the fuse box, to the wiper stalk, to any...
