thanks, I had planned to get the front wheels lifted, I'll disconnect everything too. thanks for the tip

Hi, I went out for a drive yesterday in my series 3, I got to one road end and upon trying to turn left the steering wheel turned once to the left from straight and then stopped, most weird, I reversed to make the corner and then carried on. At speed i noticed no ill affects. When i got home...

Hi guys i have a mate who is restoring a 2a. He needs his bulkhead sorting out. Foot wells and door pillars. Has anyone heard anything about these chaps https://www.lr-refurb.co.uk

Hello, The newfangled auto gas strut on the rear door of my sisters DS has crapped out and now makes crunching noises when it opens/closes. I can see how to get the strut off but the wiring goes behind the rear door card. Does anyone have any useful advice about removing the card or...

Hey. I tried pushing/pulling/shaking the props but they didnt move. I assume they're not knackered at that? How did you fix the stone in the hb??? Drum off???

Its not really audible at faster speeds. All of the pads/discs are making the same noise as you spin the wheels. I had it on axle stands yesterday and there is no squeL when you spin the wheels....

Right.... The defender has developed a squeal. I assumed it was the brakes but now its knocking so now im not so sure..... Usually it starts after driving 10 miles or so and is only really audible/noticeable under 15 miles an hour... Ive got a video which i will upload heres a link It...

Hi, I finally got round to rebuilding the engine, it looks great and feels ace to have it done. I spent the majority of Monday trying to shove in in the vehicle. its in, sort of the passenger side its mated perfectly, the top of the bell housing is a ok, the drivers side and the base is...

hello, thanks for that, glow plug circuit eh.... I dont know what to make of that! I bought my MAF from the dealer, i bought one from craddock and it was not right at all, so after much mucking about i bought one from the dealer just for piece of mind. it was heart breakingly expenise. just...

I just had the RAC out to it, he couldnt see any splits or loose pipes or intercooler damage either, 2 error codes one for the MAF (i know this is ok as was replaced last year) one was 06BC which we dont know wtf that means. they have called me a big orage taxi! of to the dealer it goes...

Hi Guys, on the way home and up a hill yesterday the engine developed a compressed air gushing noise (not a whistle which i think is odd) as i was going up hill, it came on all of a sudden, this lead to a loss of power and eventually the little engine light of joy came on.... now i have...

Hi Guys, Thanks for your responses on this. I had a good tug on it this weekend (oooh er missus) and yup up down nothing left to right. So i guess its all ok, i'm due to get my tyres done shortly so i'll get the tracking done at the same time! thanks all Rob

hello, I had my mot and had an advisory about my drag link end ball joint having slight play. I had to have it serviced any way so sent it in to the main dealer for them to look at it. they say that there should be some play in it and that the mot garage was wrong to put the advisory on...

thanks for that, i assumed it would be ok with medium strength loctite but thought it best to check

Hello, In the rebuild process on turners website, they say they use locking wire on the locking bolts for the tapet sleeves. Is this common practice or can i just use a version of lock tight? I cant remember the bolts having wire on them when i undid them...... its step 13 on the 4th...

will do, the rear pads were done recently which might tie up. i could've sworn i had the front discs and pads done last august but my mind is going so it could've just been the rears..... EDIT: yup it was the front discs and pads that were done in august last year i just checked my previous...

Thanks, I'll do just that, i might whip a wheel off and have a look at the pads to see whats what.

HI, I have a 2014 Puma 110, every now and then the brake warning light comes on on the dash, usually going down hill under strong braking. Its getting more regular and now on less intense inclines, looking in the fluid resevour the front chamber is lower than the back. I've looked for leaks...

Hi, My 110 puma went in for the MOT today, all is ok apart from the rear shocks top bushes, they need replacing. Is it worth springing for the poly bushes or no? https://www.paddockspares.com/nrc5593p-shock-absorber-rear-top-bush-polyurethane.html...

great job and really nice to see all the detail! have you got cracks between the valves on the head??? I have an old head with cracks like that but thought they made it worthless/ needing welding??? Also do you have to replace the woodruff keys? or is it a whilst you're in there you might as...
