Yup normal. Took the balancer off the front, got some flat bar, rotated the crank till 2 of the bolts where vertical (had to turn the steering full left), marked the bar, drilled 2 holes. Made a cut out for the crank bolt.
Bolted the bar onto...
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...
Chassis build up is on hold again for the moment as I need to focus on completing a different project first.
However I have been looking at developing a new warning light cluster. My original idea was to remove this cluster and the smaller...
Switch off keyless entry, it stops the doors being unlocked by people using scanners.
Later model Land Rovers have all had extra security added during software updates making them difficult to steal hence insurance premiums lowering. Ghosts are...
Took my TD5 out for a drive. It is now pretty much rattle free after adjusting the rear end door and passenger door.
Also the new drop arm seems to have improved the steering kick back on pot holes. I'm happy with the little improvements.
Slow…. But have a few friends checking some routes/lanes next week.
Gave a few locations for them to check while they are in wales.
Need to hop on the Motobike & spot some lanes. Been doing too much driving,even last weekend with no time to sit...
I wouldn't change anything just for the sake of it. A 20 year old Genuine hose is probably better than a new Britpart one, same with the water pump.
Mind you water pump isn't original, what make did they fit last time?
Busy day…
Removed the tunnel to get a lot of work done easily. Hi/low lever not holding low correctly so rotated a collar a bit(road test later)
Easy gear box oil acsess(top up)
Grease prop shafts from above

Does stuff on line as well,both new and take off items.

Changed the ABS shuttle valve today. Absolutely hate doing this job, wouldnt be so bad if it was easyto get my wings off 🙈
Through the hole it is! Took about 3 hours and some cut wrists
Finally out and replaced with a pre modified one which...
Time to check everything lines up! Also repaired the pillar and neatened it right up. I’m going to chop the bottom off other side and repeat the process as it’s so much tidier and I hate it when this area looks scabby. You really notice it on...
Hello. Glacial progress continues. Might as well show you what little there is.
Primer went on with brush and roller. So did the top coat.
The finish is ok. I know a lot of people get fantastic results with brush and roller but I don't. To...
Hi. When it clicks and works the dash light's up. But when its not working the relay clicks, but the dash does not light up.
I'm sure I have the wipac relay fitted already, need to check as it's been a while.
