£5 with the code!

Looks like a good one. I’ve just purchased the Defender edition, only to realise the email address on my billing details is no longer accessible by me, doh! I’ve contacted them and hopefully they’ll sort it out.

Finally sorted out the heavy steering issue. The Landy has been almost undriveable the past couple of weeks, I was worried that the PAS pump or box was on the way out. Thankfully, turned out to be a seized lower steering uj! It would move freely on one axis, but was just about completely...

The alternator belt loosens itself for fun! Given up trying to keep it to spec tightness.

Congratulations! I’m going to be ‘that’ person, you actually have a Ninety, not a Defender.

Good shout, I’m looking at pressure washer filters too. Doesn’t need to filter down to microns, just something to keep the flaky crap out!

You’re right, diesels weren’t fitted with them and early petrols were. Seems a bit daft not having one - the last lift pump I changed had a load of crap inside that was causing intermittent fuel supply issues. The one I have looked at getting is PRC 2476, which is for a petrol, although I could...

Has anyone fitted a fuel pickup (in tank) filter to their diesel Landy? I’m replacing the fuel line soon and can see this being a worthy upgrade. Just wondering what others have used, if they have.

Cheapos and fit some grease nipples.

Problem solved…and it had nothing to do with the alternator! Long story short, the alternator belt was probably a bit on the tight side, so adjusted that and now it’s fine. The culprit behind all the issues I have been experiencing? The dreaded lift pump!! I chucked my spare new one on and away...

I do, good shout.

I’m going to do some more investigating tomorrow. I did some readings yesterday - at the battery was measuring 14.5V, at the alternator was all over the shop, couldn’t get any sort of steady and meaningful reading.

I’ll probably put a new one on then. I’ll try and repair the current one when it’s not so cold and miserable out!

No hotter than usual, I think. It’s still charging the battery fine, but at the expense of slowing the engine down!

Yep, definitely repairable!
