The only Europe ones of interest I can see from @Arctic2 's google linkare these: Germany AllBrit OEM €106 But 'O' Ring and not gasket? https://allbrit.de/epc.cfm?CAR=L6&SPRACHE=EN&PAGE=G03105 France (?) RLD Autos OEM €150...

Oh! I managed to miss the third link - thanks!

But ..... Motormaquina can only get Britpart from UK, so with customs its 200 quid (probably plus 23% VAT - I didnt ask) Bugger! Welcome to my 'relaxed' life in the Sun :cool:

Apparently this is the place here in Portugal https://www.motormaquina.com/ For anyone breaking down near Lisbon or Porto (or elsewhere in PT) And a great Freelander specialist just south of here is Nuno Sousa who is a great guy and a great mechanic - contacts and translations on request : )

Thanks I completely understand just using this as a comparative test - I was just curious I did my own spreadsheet: analysis from the data from around your link If speed was simply proportional to the torque the power of x in the below would have been -1, but its not. Interestingly (for a geek...

Thanks, that is cheaper than I imagined but coming from UK means PT customs who are W@nkers Anyone coming to Lisbon soon for holidays? :)

Thanks! The Haines FL book says take out starter and radiator but looking at it I am not sure if necessary. I am probably wrong. I will try and cost/source a new cooler anyone got any advice on where and where not to try to buy? I am in PT so post Brexit, Europe (inc Ireland) and not UK is best...

Mine is Manuel

Not my area, but I would take the comma out as then its clearer that all three methods all apply to the trigonal oxygen site etc and not just transition intensity modelling. Whatever the **** they are However, Oxford commas are always a bit of a moot point If I were him I would leave it in and...

You'd have to plot 1/time as that equation has N which is revs That equation makes sense, as you increase weight &/or lever arm, the speed of rotation (N) increases and so the time to do 1/4 of a revolution decreases. The equation also tells us that 1/time should vary linearly with length &/or...

Hi! Has anyone tried tests to see how the time varies with weight and lever arm length? From this it seems that Revs/min is simply proportional to torque (weight x lever arm) I know its not the same geometry, but its an 'engineering' equivalent system and everyone's VCU is the same...

Hi, 2001 FL1 Td4 I have had a bit of oil in the water for a while but no overheating or steam or smoke in exhaust, temp fine (even in 30 + C Portugal weather) or anything suchlike. But suddenly the temp gauge was creeping up to halfway, which wasn't that alarming but higher than normal and so...

@Nodge68 tried to send message but would not let me

GGreat! Thanks. Will send message with address etc

Thanks both I'm actually in uk near Colchester at the mo. How much fluid do I need and how much for me to take that off of your hands @Nodge68 ?

1. Laziness 2. Lack of money 3. Being Portugal lack of access to materials, especially the silicon fluid in VCU

Cheers @GrumpyGel I have actually done that track in a 1971 veedub camper with a vw-porsche engine i put in. I made it there and back although it was pedal to the metal or die a lot of the time ! The prop is only on for inspections once a year. I just thought I could pop it on for a day to try...

Its 2 miles to the start of the track so I think I will do it. Wont be regular thing

Hi, My VCU is so stiff that the wheel-off-ground test pretty much never completes So, I understand that driving it every day on the road will not do the car any good, but .. What are the consequences of me just using it like that to go off road down a sandy track for a day? Both in terms of...

Bell dont ship abroad they said unfortunately I am going to see if I can bring one back on the plane I do know someone here that does a refurb for €400 including fitting, but they are £185 at Bell
