Wot - when it packs up on a mkII ZX turbo diesel, I'll be out, very out - out of the god dammned country :D - those 'machines' make me curse, curl up in a small dark cupboard and laugh hysterically (The kind of hysteria you got when we had mental institutions, instead of the 'community')...

I'm too dammned paronoid not to use a ma thingy. The gadgets give me a false sense of well being/preparation/nout can possibly go wrong... Well it may be plastic and a bit wierd, but it did the job and the clutch is on and engine back in, too knackered to do all the other fiddly bits like the...

Got rained out yesterday after work, only got to get a few pipes off. This evening the thunder/monsoon didn't start for about an hour, so got the power steering pump off, got the radiator hoses disconnected on the engine side. and the grill and front cover in front of the radiator, just two of...

Over the weekend looked at extending the push rod and realised if I attempted to weld with the plastic retaining clip in place/rubber boot would soon get pretty messy and wouldn't get all that back onto the rod once it had been welded. So got the piston out of the old slave and - carefully -...

I've looked at it and the least pain - in this case - appears to be the engine out option. The engine's basically tall and narrow so access down the sides isn't too bad, three bolts on the exhaust down pipe to manifold, now dripping in WD40. But I'm going to make sure that gearbox is solidly...

I was meaning it would have been nice if it came like that - I wouldn't do the mod to the slave cylinder - you only end up replacing them again. I'm pretty much sold on the idea of extending the push rod, which should also give me a bit of breathing space with replacing the clutch. Now I'm...

What I meant was where there's a groove cut on the inside of the slave cylinder bore right at the end with a inner circlip sitting in it - then the piston can't travel past the circlip. Get what you mean about cutting the bar closer to the fork and welding some spacer rod between - sounds like a...

Will end up replacing clutch, but also want to get this sorted so regardless of the wear of the clutch, don't end up with a knackered slave cylinder. Did think about extending the rod - or rather having one machined. The end that sits in the clutch fork goes into a ball with a fine pin on the...

Thanks Mad Frank. Interesting you got no clutch slip, must have been real nice not getting any warning apart from the clutch bite. The clutch - apart from high bite - is fine, and the last slave cylinder only lasted about a week. I could just replace the clutch but I'd like to get this sorted...

Hi, got one here's the frying my noodle a bit. 2dr RR with 4 speed lt95 box, mated to a Perkins 4236 - apparently a professional conversion; from what I see looks good. After about a year from getting the rr, the Clutch pedal went to floor without any clutch depression. Went underneath and...

The forums are so invaluable. I did a wee bit of background hunting about the land rover I was interested in through them and came to the conclusion that unless you had the time and probably money for it, it wouldn't be a good choice (My wife would have gone nuts trying to shut off the engine...

Thanks Bryan. I did wonder if anything old enough would be an expensive restoration job, thanks for making the path a bit clearer. It looks like the Range Rover side is going to be too expensive to get tax exempt (I'm rather concerned at what's going to happen either with this government or...

Hi - I'd like some advice on buying a second hand cheap Range Rover. I've seen advice - such as watching out for rusty rear cross members etc. - but mine is a bit more high level. My wife and I have a horse and need to cross two fields to get to it which can get pretty muddy/flooded in winter...
