Yes, mine dim. Ordered a standard bulb kit ta.

No idea for the other bits kiddo🤔

Right. I just went ahead & did it; 90NM for the threaded inspection bung, 25NM for the inspection bolt & 45NM for the delivery value holders. All went well. FYI: I didn't torque it up like this. I had the steel end nipped up in the vice not the...

If the LCD went blank then it's the bulb backlight that's blown

LEDs are often directional, the cheap kits are usually garbage. Please, PLEASE don't change it to blue, it'll look sh*te! I'd stick with the proper bulbs, they go black over time anyway and with a fresh set of bulbs you'll probably be...

Replacing the motor didn't fix it, can't clear the pot fault so I unsoldered the pot off the blend motor kermie gave me and swopped that out with the newish pot fitted last year? Cant check them as my dvm has died,and that seems to have fixed it...

Suspension will be the easy bit. Don't know why but I really like resolving suspension issues on these things...? Probably because so many people are so terrified of it and in reality, it's just not that bad at all. I wish I had the time to...

Hello all, it’s a big day… please see the video attached, a friend of mine, a Land Rover fanatic came along, with the car having sat for so long he said, ok, first things first, let’s drain the fuel and get some fresh stuff in there… so , we did...

I've tested one of the motors you gave me with a 9v battery, spins nice and quiet, just tested the one on the car and it spins fine but is noticeably noiser. So I've just soldered your motor to my board. There isn't enough room to work on the...

Leaking air spring for the win; it will effectively balance the pressure across the front so both sides will drop over night. They crack quite badly over time and when you lift them or do work on them it's usually the nail in the coffin (ask me...

I'd agree, soapy water and spray around any areas on the suspecte corner where ever you can see rubber. 👍

Sounds like a typical leaking air spring.

Cheers! I think these are the correct RAVE torque settings for the FIP but I can't see the correct torque for the larger threaded bung.

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...

Does the handbrake work ,could be something in the drum,shoes down to the metal n rubbing ....always thinking outside the box :rolleyes: Outside the box get it .....no........ I will get me coat ... :oops:

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!

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

Never tried a dog sled but snowmobiles are great fun.

passed its mot today after spending over £1300 quid on repairs, then told i had a advisory on front bottom arm ,play in ball joint ,only been on twelve months.:mad:

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...

it's near/behind the starter motor .. you might need an allen key for the bolt .. .

Today I learnt if you take a door card off a L322, make sure the mirrors are out. Confused the hell out of me when the mirrors were in opposite states to each other, one folded, the other out. Press the fold button and they swap over 😂

Well I have landed in 'civilisation'. The Golden Girl is now with the guys with the knowledge and tools to make her all better. Keeping fingers crosses that the 'clicking behind the dash' thread may be the resolution to her clicking behind the...

There is 1 road from the airport into town otherwise you wait for snow and use dog sleds or snowmobiles

Mine generally takes a few minutes but works quicker if I set it to manual by turning the fan speed up.

Holy crap batman.. I thought you going to say iran or somewhere like that😱

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

For me it pulled too much even when on the bench, i think the motor was just worn out. The gears seemed fine with no snags etc
