Told my Classic to stop complaining about getting a little more use over the past 3 months (might even cover 1000m this year) & being parked in the open for the past 17 years .. though I did wish it a happy 38th birthday & promised to rectify the...

Found the leak..

TXV?

After doing my heater core orings it brought to light just how brittle my old centre dash piece is - pretty much crumbled putting back together, so I’ve been watching a few walnut dash parts on eBay and a seller sent out an offer, so now I have a...

Leave the bloody thing alone🤷😜

Looks OK to me. Maybe it's been off before and it was a struggle to get the key back in the slot.

Well, you happen to be in luck Ken, I have a fully working VCSI brick, that I may be persuaded to part with. How about that for a result from a fifteen year old thread !! Brian

Thanks both, I had the wheel off yesterday and gave the drive shaft a pull and it was defo out, so gave it a good shove back in, heard the click and all was solid. Wheel back on, test drive and it's as though it never happened. Thanks for the...

Just measured it at 5-6 cm which translates to 50mm so they should be enough.

From the supermarket. Pour some in a bottle with equal parts ipa alcohol and distilled water and use that on a microfibre cloth (the water so it doesn't evaporate too quick and streak)

Alright, I got it to run, so will leave this for future generations wasting a week just like me. Step 1. Key to pos 1. Step 2. Negative battery off for 5 mins. Step 3. Negative back on. Step 4. You will see it turning on the dash without asking...

Could it be this ??

Original fronts are slightly out of phase. There has been a lot of energy spent arguing about this over the years, Here's the longest one I think. It's a ripping yarn of logic vs Wammers...

Same here!

On the L320.

Thanks to all. Finally got the problems solved. Front sensor was an aftermarket new one that didn’t work and ended up putting a Wabco second hand one in and worked. The other problem with the inlet valve open circuit was an internal failure of...

Anything written in the paperwork or fusebox cover? Back of sunvisor?!

Theoretically but the last movement when timing has to be towards the engine and it is very fiddly so I wouldn't rely on it. Mine's timed up as per RAVE. My only concern with Datatek's method is the possibility of masking chain stretch too much...

Coming out of Tesco's this afternoon had to stop to let pedestrians cross. There were 2 oriental lads beaming and smiling at the Rangie. They both got their phones out and started taking pics. Then stood there giving me the thumbs up sign with...

New expansion cap on. Now got normal pressure in the system!!

Could be the matrix inside is breaking down. It can affect running too. I blew MrGorsky's out the back and all over my lawn by flooring it! Yours is twin exhaust? @MrGorsky had sone fun with getting exhaust parts the right size. A certain...

Disco 2's have traction control... The centre diff in the LT230 likes to destroy itself if it spins too fast/long :( If my Disco 1 wasn't such a ****box, I'd get Ashcroft ATBs front, centre and rear: Then it'd be like a proper AWD on the road...

As long as the tool stays in place you can take the pump in and out with no issues. You'll have to time it up afterwards anyway.

Wammers did some detailed responses on this. I can't remember who he was helping. There is indeed another hole just before the TDC one. You don't want to be 180° out either.

Range assumes some mileage will be on the back of a recovery truck :rolleyes:

So since its been sat outside home looking sorry for itself and hasn't even been started since the 28th of may when it flagged a fault, Fired right up and i took it too the 24hr garage (a whole 0.4 miles each way) But.... i did see my pal who has...

Update - gave the connector a squirt the other day and yesterday while running the car after doing the heater core o-rings guess what reappeared? The SRS light. I now suspect it’s one of the wires where it enters the connector opposed to the...

Original props are out of phase. Britpart in phase. Are yokes free to move? Vibration from props usually felt through the seat rather than the steering wheel.
