Thanks all , so when you say behind the dome do I actually need to remove the plastic dome to get to hex or is it very thin on other side of metal disc?

I'll have another look , new one looks like this so it easy to get a spanner around it Thanks

OK new one has arrived , I'm unsure how the old one unscrews , if you look at the picture the existing one is round like a coin so how am I going to grip it ? Does anyone have any experience re this? I'm sure the bolt above the disc is part of the thing it screws into rather than the switch itself

Recently car has had starting problems , leads , battery , plugs , coil replaced , didn't make much difference . Today I have sprayed a good deal of carb cleaner in the carb and now its starts fine , butterfly closes with choke out which I'm assuming is fine but only opens about 1/2 inch when...

Bloody Hell , I Live in Solihull so im getting it from both ends here, Landy owner in West mids!!, ive got no chance also Ive owned a few Rovers that ended up with more Oil on the drive than in the engine so again point proven , they dont teach you this stuff as school ,at least not in West...

Thats great , Thanks Bobsticle "FACT"

Yeah , I love the phrase "it'll be a five minute job , it said in the manual" or "As long as the bolts havent rusted up it will be easy"

Its really tight as it is! , yeah its strange , if you look at the picture (ive cleaned it up) its leaking from the end nearer to where the spade connector is , so its not even a joint its sort of coming from out of the plastic , ill replace it if its only cheap , why not ive nearly replaced...

Morning , weathers improving so I'm trying to enjoy Landy , I have found an oil drip "can someone please identify the part and tell me if its easy to replace , thanks for your continued support Oilis leaking from circular plastic piece which has spade connector on it so I'm assuming it's some...

After Epic Head Gasket change car is using a lot of fuel overheating slightly and spluttering slightly as I pull away from stand still , I suspect mixture needs adjusting , does it sound as if its too rich or too lean? I assuming that too rich mix would cause overheating and high fuel...

I recently paid as part of Mot for rear hub seal to be replaced , im assuming this was it , if this isnt it wouldnt whatever this is have come up on Mot , im assuming this is yet another problem!

As mentioned I had the rear hub seal replaced, this afternoon I saw this , its not the cylinder , should I take it back or is it just residue from the job ?

Simple query, Battery light stays on when I start up but just until I rev up and pull off ( Battery is 6 mnths old), does this mean engine is turning over too slowly? should I turn idle up slightly or leave it alone? Thanks

My overdraft !

All back and up and running , drove for first time since November today , seems great , work they did looks good , I'll include pictures when I've got a minute , very happy !

Work is being offered by MOT station , but station was recommended by family , I was with tester when he tested it and whilst it was up on the ramps he showed me welding that needs doing so its all legit. £300 does include all the work but I think brakes just need adjusting (shoes and cylinders...

The other thing ive got to do is replace heater control valve , any advice on loosening it up it almost looksd welded on!

I know ive done it all wrong way round , last time it had Mot it failed on tyres only which I replaced , brakes seemed ok , corrosion only appeared after a few taps with hammer so it wasnt obvious , im assuming £300 isnt too bad then Ive replaced all wheel cylinders myself recently for mot ...
