100% of my Land Rover works, just not 100% of them time. Does that count?

Not sure it is tbh, be easier to just be a recon lt77 tbh

Why do you need to make it an auto? There are lots out there to make the clutch a LOT lighter, or to add servo assistance to the clutch which makes it a lot easier to drive. I was going to auto my 200tdi because of arthritic knees but in the end went with a LOF power master cylinder and...

Cool thanks :)

That’s fascinating thank you, does the wood move less over time? I have in my mind that the hollow fibres of the wood expand and contract but gradually over time ‘settle’ and that the movement would diminish with time?

When building something like this do you have to take into account expansion and contraction of the wood frame during the different seasons?

No. The lower bolts foul the timing chest when you wind them out

This stairs are really nice

Very very nice! I had a garden room built and due to the size and proximity to the neighbours I would have had to paint fireproof goop on it aswell so I just moved it further from the boundary.

Hang on the motor has been stored for 2 years out of a motor? I thought you had seen it running and then pulled it out and fitted it straight into your car. That’s a bit of a different ball game now tbh. I wonder if you have faulty injectors?

Something has gone amiss with the install, an airline amiss etc, something is plumbed up wrong, etc Go over everything again and check, intercooler pipes the lot. If it was running in the old vehicle, and was taken out and now isn’t something isn’t been connected up right imo

Are you kidding? That will deffo be sold at brightwells as ‘minor damage, running and driving’ :p

Currently chasing a ‘loss of servo assistance’ when cadence braking, Does any one know what vacuum a vacuum pump on a 200tdi (and similar) engine should make at idle? Mine makes -26InHG and I don’t know if that’s okay or not. It also drops by about 10 for one press of the brake. It’s a that...

I would write to the ROW officer aswell (politely) and ask when the decision was made and when it will be reviewed? Maybe local councillor etc aswell. Tbh the winter thing isn’t a bad move, and for all we know they genuinely want the lane to recover and fully intend to re-open it. From the look...

Dunno, but this is the reponse I have had from the ROW officer. So I shall be going back to check at the beginning of June…. And following up if it isnt open…. Here is the link she mentions in the email...

Yeah I read the notice at the alfriston end - it says it is for the surface to recover after the resurfacing works - it says it’s a temporary restriction. I didn’t have my phone on me so no photo, but will go back sometime and get one. I have emailed the East Sussex rights of way officer to ask...

Currently still has a temp TRO on it from September 2022 for re-surfacing works. At the alfriston end only, up to comp barn

I keep reusing my existing one by re-annealing it each time, eventually it cracks so then I change it. Doesn’t leak though. Well it does just not from the sump plug…

yepm after my binnacle fell off when off roading i changed the mount, the surround and the binnacle for the raptor ones - its very good and very solid. Expensive but it fits lvoely and doesnt rattle at all :)

Check the towing socket - I had a weird light issue with a tow socket that had all corroded inside and in effective ‘completed’ the circuit - mine was indicators coming on with the brakes but same sort of scenario (one circuit back fed by another)
