I did wonder. I am pretty sure the top hose wouldn't still be cold after driving for an hour. Edit: oops read your post again, thought you meant it was still cold when checking after 1 hour.

Overhead pipe?

Good result, never heard of undoing it like that before but it worked that's the main thing. Don't do the new filter up so tight this time.

My Britpart orange shocks completely failed after less than 5k miles. Although they have lasted well on my son's Ninety, so have the Terrafirma on the front axle.

Thanks for you advice, this is a landy my wife bought as a "project" the plan is front and rear axle removal and refurb, all bushes, bearings, seals and ball joints to be changed, will change the brake lines too.

Tedious job, hopefully end result is good.

Did you find an answer to your rattle?

Did you find a successful method of removing the paint?

Any progress?

Any updates?

I would change them while you are there, especially the front. All looks very rusty, I would be checking them brake lines. Don't know for sure but if it has extended flexi pipes you might need to change them back to original 🤔

Think the price will have gone up a bit since then.

They might have used spacers and stock springs.

How long ago was this?

Leak off pipes are new along with the copper washers on the banjo bolts. I am reasonably confident it's the actual injector. Diesel is coming out of the injector recess hole. My theory is if the copper washers on the injector was blowing then you...

Anyone had leaking injectors before? It's not leaking from hp pipe connection. It's not leaking from leak off pipes. Changed copper washers, pretty sure it's not them. Can it leak from the actual body of the injector, as I am pretty sure it is...

Diagnostic equipment might be useful in reading any codes you might have.

Make sure you use wheel chocks also when jacking up your Defender.

We often go driving for the whole day on laning or scenic drive trips, I don't find it a problem. They are a bit of an assault on your senses though compared to a normal car.

God?

If its good £5.5k I reckon.

New starter fitted. As expected, it didn’t go without issue as it is a landy! One of the turbo studs sheared, needing drilling and tapping. The mechanic said a few choice words, which I won’t repeat! And a couple of extra earths were added. But...

That's a good price, will be interesting to see how well it lasts. Let us know if it goes wrong in the future.

£1500 as its got a new chassis, presuming it has a log book.

Happy days, out of interest what make pump did you buy?

Why don't you buy aftermarket gauge with sensor and put it in the top hose? Or capillary gauge if you know what the thread in the housing is. Saves buying endless sensors which are not compatible. Have you tried earth on the gauge which someone...

You would do well to also clean all the fuse holders and make sure the fuse ratings are correct.

By the looks of it nothing is going to work, (engine, gearbox, axles )and the only thing going for it is a galv chassis and a log book.
