    Chasing Front Drivetrain slack

    So many variables mate. Alot of which can be solved fairly cheaply with a few tools and a workshop manual. Cheap and easy things first, change the UJ's and the drive flanges. Any really minor wear in the drive flange translates to massive movement by the time it reaches the edge of the tyre...

    New 90 project startup!!

    Well i'll try this one for size and keep that one as a spare :) The exhaust will stay green for about 5 miles im betting. Any longer and i'll be very surprised. It is 2k paint though so it should do pretty well with heat unless its extreme. Jai, i'll grind that and run a pretty bead down it...

    drive member stuck on halfshaft

    jack the wheel up, there might be alot of torsion acting on it that will grip the splines. Then give it a smack and see if it breaks free

    MY12 LR Raised Air Intake

    looked at a few pictures on the intertubes... the landrover one seems to be of similar design to the mantec plastic one. It will be the same height as your roof. Maybe a teensy bit higher but nothing massive

    I fear my Diff Lock is 'broken' - Advice/Help Needed

    No mate, no clunk. Easy test for you. Jack one wheel off the ground and gently try to drive with it out of lock, the wheel should turn. Lock the diff and do ur again. This time super gentle. The car will try to move forward.

    Help !! Rounded screw on wheel hub !

    Drill the top off of it and pull the disk off.. Screw should be loose enough to unwind by hand once the tension is off it. Replace when ur done

    Fuel bleeding?

    Oh god. That's too funny. Still, best its something simple and now it's sorted. I'd rather be an idiot with a working car than a smart ass broke guy with no car

    Fuel bleeding?

    Best thing i can suggest mate is to get to a local motor factors and get a new lift pump. They aint that expensive and they can make a hell of a difference if its replacing a duff one. Once the new one is fitted (jus two bolts, very easy) Use the priming lever and bleed each item in the circuit...

    Fuel bleeding?

    Fuel bleeding?

    Quickest fix won't be the best. Sounds like ur lift pump has had it. Or the cam is in the lifted position. Turn the engine over for a click then try again
