    Urgent question - landy on ramp and time ticking - *dropl link*

    Cut the fecker off, had the same trouble with mine although I was fitting a new box so in the end I just left it on and bought a newun with the box ;) Saying that the bolt itself should come off fairly easily. got mine undone with a normal half-inch breaker bar.

    Having some bother bleeding power steering

    Im starting to think it might be the pump as i have tried all the normal methods of bleeding and have even taken it for a short drive but still no improvement :( Im guessing a loose belt wont help things? the adjustment is on the stops and the belt is still a bit slack.

    I suppose its more of a tidy up than a rebuild, The plan being to get it on the road and then have it as a rolling project and add every metal attachment possible.

    From A Mini To A Defender 110

    Cheers all for the welcomes! The landy should be arriving at its new home around midday tomorrow. Its just the D4 engine I believe, I might look at doing a Td conversion depending on how it goes. The main task at the moment is to get it back on the road before the gearbox on my Mini blows up.
