I've had strut top bearings and also a loose centre shock nut (at the top) that clonks like a roll bar joint.

One on Facebook for £15. https://www.facebook.com/share/1HcZnX4Uy9/

I think that is a foam air filter you can see. Let's air in.

Which way? Complete or in parts ?

Finished the door panels this afternoon. Used this: https://ebay.us/m/h4Hdh4 1m at £14.95 will do 8 door panels. It is also such a close match to the original that if any are ok they can be left alone. LHS one is representative of the...

Off the car should be 1/3 of the time on the car. Due to the 3:1 diff gearing. So 1.2m and 5Kg on the car at a minute is at end of life. I use as a rule of thumb.

Sounds like corrosion on high pressure fuel rail sensor connector to me.

Not sure where you are but I always have plenty of used FL1 parts. Just PM me.

EYP 101280 if you want the LR number. They are 50p each !! Any black or painted self tapper would suffice.

Held with Torx self tapping screws. All 6 are same size. Can measure one but about 3mm estimate.

Diesel wash I guess. Maybe 2 injectors are well stuck open ?? I put a set of known working ones in and haven't looked at the ones that came out. One was missing anyway.

A standard tap would clean any burrs.

Some photos: Turbo didn't look very well. Bellhousing, engine both soaked with oil. Head looks ok, scores in the bores !!! Looks like cylinder 1 and 2 have had a prolonged wash !!

Looks good. Had a shot at recovering tired door panels this afternoon. Looks to be quite a success.

Just the failed engine to do an ortopsy on now ! Started this morning. I think I'll turn it into a competition to see what peeps think happened. Although of course, I don't know !! So I know compression was bad across all cylinders and oil was...

Not sure what you are trying to do. Did you use the bolt suitably adjusted to get leverage to pull the UJ yoke off ?? If so then the bolt is sacrificial and might be bent but never had thread damage. How did you remove the VCU from UJ ??

Most need an air compressor and application gun. Don't have such things sadly. Unless we could borrow ?? Cavity wax seems the thing, but high pressure needed for the distances.

Maybe a Dinitrol product??

Found these. I took a 3 Door FL1 sill which I made some cross section photos from. Maybe useful for rust proofing and wax injection. Note that the grommet in the rear wheel arch covers the back end, the plastic door trim screw mounts get you...

All sorted and ready for new owner. Really nice vehicle - NOW :) https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/5-door-td4-manual-new-clutch.399156/

As stated. Vehicle has had a replacement engine (112k) and new Borg & Beck clutch. Tyres are as new, well worth a look if you want a 5 door TD4. https://ebay.us/m/kSOZhc

Tis only the rear ??

Made up your brake pipes this afternoon. 😀

On a FL1 I had one with a pin hole in the breather pipe. When the fuel went up the filler pipe (when it was filled to cut off), it also went a small way up the breather. Just enough to find the hole. The hole, had been made by the self tapping...

Can you not change subframe and rear suspension as a unit from a scrapper ??

15,000 mile update. Front 5.5mm Rear 5.9mm Dropped tyre pressure to 30 psi all round. They are still wearing 0.5mm more in centre.

V6 has a different VCU to TD4 and 1.8 petrol. No damper fitted. 3 door and 5 door are same length wheelbase. If yours is missing do a search and check IRD and diff are not damaged before fitting then do the one wheel Up test afterwards to...

Is that a filter in the brake reservoir or has it been filled with tomato soup? 😃

Two very different emotions guys !!
