Happy to report after almost a year she’s still oil tight at the front seal. I think Speedi Sleeves are a good solution to worn seal running surfaces.

Hi mate I'd just like to thank you, I've rebuilt the valve block and after some fiddling around with a split compressor pipe it air up extremely quick . Cheers 👍👍

Possibly the hole the ball-joint goes into has been deformed so it just wrecks the new ball-joint? Or someone fitted Britpart.

There is a small inspection plate on the bottom of the bell housing you can remove to have a look at the flexplate. With a cracked flex plate it'll produce a horrendous noise in all gears even park.. issues with 1-2 on the 4hp is usually either...

Don't look at me. I have 3 of the sods blocking up my drive now. Need to sell one ...

By the way the town i mentioned is Longyearbyen on the Island of Svalbard Spitzbergen And the reason for carrying a rifle is Polar Bears

Ive just come bak from a town where if you leave the boundaries of the town by law you have to carry a loaded rifle. Also if the siren souds you have to go to the nearest house and stay inside untill the all clear. seeing as im back in the uk i...

Funny thing, those old Land Rovers, aren't they? Just checked the new wiring loom, did a quick comparison against the THREE (!) diagrams in my repair manual, which is so badly printed most of the color codes are unreadable. Need to check against...

The wiring loom and new speedo cable have been delivered today! So guess what I am going to do the next days! With some luck, I might even get her through TÜV / MOT by months end before our summer vacation! Wish me luck!

Yes terrano, it's the exact same fuel system. Bosch VE fuel injection system.

I'd have to check RAVE next time I have the laptop running but it is less than you think. 90 nm sounds way too much. 25 nm sounds more likely. The high pressure pipes just need nipping up so they don't leak. Finger tips tight using a 17 mm...

RAVE says always use a new bolt as it is a stretch bolt. Sone say you can reuse them a few times but I wouldn't risk it!

Strangely the original parts seemed to last a very long while. I think he was referring to the labour but yes, their parts prices take the urine. Jaguar used to have an owners club card where they gave discount for old Jaguars and did deals...

We were talking about this on one of the forums the other day. Helpfully, youtube just served this up to me. It is on thaor engined Disco, but the P38 is essentially the same I think. Somewhere in the comments a chap with a P38 has made the...

Last time I went for parts from my Landy dealer the kid pointed out the car was considerably older than he was and he generally only sees JLR cars still under warranty because the dealer prices are so high. Fair point!

Sounds plausible.

Pro Evo+ seem to specialise in JLR and are based not far from me in Abingdon. Guess that's their office and everything shipped from China? https://proevoplus.com/#about-pro-evo 24 month guarantee on all products, apparently. Tempted to pop in...

Dunlops a bit pricey but Proevo+ about right. Never heard of Proevo+ before. Not sure I'd risk them over Dunlop, not even being 30% cheaper!

Terrano?

Here`s Dave`s instructions sheet hopefully it worked

That's the guy!

It was @biketeacherdave That had the write up with pics.

Let me get the bag and see what's in it!

Value is in RAVE. I thought it was 12 thou of an inch but I might be mixing it up with something else.

Yeah it works now

Only with the ones made in the EU by Conti I think, but yes, unless you buy from the states it could be problematical.

Might have been @backinblack that did the guide?

Sure it is in the TDC hole? A skipped tooth would cause issues. The cam is set with a 12 thou spacer when tightening the cam stretch bolt. 10 mm is way too much.

But you've got it sorted. Just dont do it again 🫵😝
