Thanks, just been to the garage, they're just fitting the air pipe now, go back in an hour after they've done a road test, fingers crossed, and my bank balance will be about £2k lighter!! Had to go back in an hour, car now working again. I can...

Have a safe journey home 👍

Latest news on my extended holiday, the ca is now ready...almost! The garage replaced the belt nd all the pullies except one which is priced at about €400! All others are done, pus a new belt, EGR valve, and a full regen so that's now al clear...

Only one way to find out! 😁

I would guess so.

So, I can easily leave it be?

Just had a short call with my mechanic, he has no clue what the White-Purple cable between the coil and solenoid does neither. It does exist is each and every wiring diagram I have, and the old solenoids had contacts for it. As does the new...

Starter arrived yesterday, even took a new Lucas one. Issue is, it has one less contact than the broken Magbetti one currently installed or the old Lucas spare I have... So, what now?

I was still in school 😂

If anyone is on here looking for the source of odd vibrations then this sounds like an easy place to start: 1) are propshafts slightly out of phase? 2) is the nub in the missing tooth or have they reassembled in the wrong place? Reminds me, I...

I'm such a knobhead! Sat here thinking about this and had that thought of "it's like the boot is open or something". Hang on, did I actually check that function? walked out to it and sure enough, the upper hatch was released. You know how it...

As someone who faced that decision more than once with a RRC, I'd say keep it. Sure, you won't get the money back (6-7k sounds reasonable, more or less, going from what I did with my 3.5 V8), but by swapping it, you don't know what you get. Quite...

Apologies for the delayed response and thanks for the replies!! Baby No.1 arrived safe and happy so I found my hands somewhat full since :) Yes correct LPG is fitted although I prefer to run on petrol personally.

That's what I read as well... Not sure about it, as even LR itself is not using 20W50 anymore, for reasons. 20W50 it most likely is then, maybe I get a volume discount? 😁

Hello there! So, the diffs are due to be delivered today. That means I will do some dirty, oily work quite soon. The rear axle oil question is easy to answer, the Detroit Truetrac needs EP90 (if memory serves well, will check the manual before...

Mine's still broken in Belgium. the local garage said they'd get it done last week, well that came and went. then it was this Monday just gone (1 September). I looked in there, it's still parked up outside. Waiting parts. He's got to change the...

I did try switching the AC off but it didn't do it. Of course, that might mean something but given it is intermittent it is rather hard to say for sure. Been busy all weekend and got stuff to do today as well so it will have to wait another week.

For the egr valve pull the vacuum hose off and plug the pipe with a bolt and you will not have any more problems with it as it will not work anymore and clog the engine with junk :vb-biggrin:

Swapped for an L322, as I was sick of tracing and rectifying electrical faults. EAS was a constant thorn in my side. All issues with the Gems unit, were related to failure of the ancillaries. L322 was a dream. I only ever had issues with the...

The funny thing is, the L322 is basically a BMW... But then 30-odd year old BMW SUV are dirt cheap as well. Less capable off-road so.

L322s are great value too at the moment it seems. Disco 2s are among the expedition / adventure crowd favorites, hence the price hikes. Personally, I am cautious about anything with electronics, simply because I cannot repair that. But then I...

So, time for quick summary: Harness installed, everything working except wiper / washer, horn and ignition. Reason, most likely, a mixed up wire at the starter motor, and now a broken contact at the starter. New starter should be here end of...

Into a jeep (wash my mouth out) something not sure what.

Became hard to hide... Even worse, it caught up with my bank account... Luckily, not a lot is missing: roof tent, tires, distributor, roof bars. And there, only the tires are really required. And the fuel lines and other hoses. I just hope...

Mines been earning it's keep again, road trip up to Knaresborough with friend of mine to take engine, box, rad and few other bits out of Dodge Durango got there at 8.10 this morning managed to get it out and all loaded up by 5pm got home at 7.45...

Bit of a mystery this ... Driving yesterday and set off and suddenly there was an almighty racket. I thought the gearbox input shaft bearing was toast. Dumped the clutch and then tried to pull away again and it was fine. Did this a few more...

So she found out about your parts stash then 😂

Doesn't really hurt in all fairness.

Does it hurt so? The tail pipe needs some heat protection, otherwise it is going to melt my bumper end cap!
