For new keys, it is go to JLR dealer and they order you a new one pre programmed for a lot of money or have a chat with classic rides north wales who can sort out a clone key which is probable your best bet, there was a guy on here @MrSporty who...

nope, sorry my mistake... 50nm for an 8mm into aluminium is asking for it😵

Anything attached to that ally head you just tease tight using your fingertips. It is as soft as cheese. The block is more solid but still don't put your weight on it.

There’s not a lot of room. Get your hand in there with scraped knuckles. Can slide sheet of cardboard down there so you don’t ding the rad

Thin Alloy sheet also works.

Used a Freelander exhaust heat-shield, folded and cut to size. Seems to work. All finished today and seems to be fine. Put the pressure guage on it but nothing really registered, so I think it runs at very few psi at all when working properly!

Good new year cheer to yourself too Keith, As reliable as Diesel Jag X types can be yes! I hope all is well with yourself and work on your property in France is keeping you well out of mischief! What Ho Fella, That gif did make me chuckle, I am...

Most sensors are metric fine. So 1.25 pitch sounds right.

Put it this way, if you don't drive it for a year they rust out from within and block the exhaust. Use it daily and probably not an issue.

Head back on yesterday and everything back on. Just need to take the cam cover back off today and do the final turn on the head bolts. Having been promised Mahle it was another bloody Reinz one in the box. I'd better not be doing this again in...

But if i didn't have to constantly fix something i might comfort eat and get fat with all the money I've not spent. See, land rovers are good for your health 🤣

Bloody expensive though. Later ones have air suspension like the P38A too.

I have to agree with that and a Land Cruiser is a better option than either of them.

Could be haha.. stress can compromise your immune system

I think you maybe my long lost twin. Wangled it 😂👍 Don’t touch the gearbox filler plug! May still have few EZ outs in the shed

Bah brakes grossly over rated, just use that crappy nissan duke that always gets in the way to stop you. You know the old saying, My crumple zone is your car :D :D

Nammer and chisel. Bevel edge.

Bailer twine, wire and a lightbulb ?

I thought we were here for commentary?

Hose, fluid and time ?

I've got one brake cylinder and all the shoes to replace, then the brakes should work

In fairness , possibly it will reappear as I didn't go for a run last night as the wife got a lift home from a work mate. So I only switched ign on, selected reverse, took a pic, ign off, didn't start the engine at all. Possibly that had...

Yep, can help there. What do you need?!

Even the Freelander has gone? Nooooo. My next car will be Jap. And small. Once I have fixed all the issues on this LR so I can sell it ...

Hi, Sorry for the tardy reply and thanks for the wonderful comments eluding to my knowledge - although I am not sure I am THAT much of a guru, just a battle-hardened L322 Vet..... That said - whats the issue and I *may* be able to help! Yep...

What's wrong with the 2A? We can probably fix that.

Couple of litres of accelerant and a match?

Be scared, Mr Hare.

Job done. The lamp has very short leads so these needed extending about 6". I had a bit of 2 core in my 'I'll keep that, might be useful one day' box so that was soldered and heat shrink wrapped and poked through the rubber socket franger, bit...

I've had the reverse light failure message for so long I don't even notice it anymore. I figured the wiring could take it but if I (or someone else afterwards) ever put an original bulbs back it might not so best fit a relay for the extra lamp.
