If you don't need to....... I've just driven 130 odd miles to Malvern Hills LR weekend in the fully loaded D2 & got here feeling like I'd been sitting in my favourite armchair 🙂.

OK i finally got my local garage to replace the injector washers and seals. Just done over 250kms on it and it has behaved, well, the same as before! Fingers crossed the problem doesnt show up again without warning.

About 5 years ago I replaced the front swivels on mine and replaced the seals at the same time. I bought FTC4822.C8 from lrdirect. I bought 3 as I thought there was a chance I would damage one on fitting, which, amazingly, I didn’t. These have...

Also: A flare pipe union seals by pushing two metal pipes together. The ends of the pipes are angled so that there is a male and a female end; the male end pressing against the female end creates the seal. Double inverted flare on the left...

I’ve just done mine. I removed a pipe first to check the flare, which is a DIN type. I used a tool very similar to the one you list. It made flares identical to the ones on the original pipe. I also used copper/nickel pipe. Good luck...

Couldn't agree more!

I hope Francis gets back and lets us know how he got on. Mistakes do happen. Sometime ago, my TD5 went in for a Service at a local and well respected garage. I told them it takes an age to show correct level on dipstick when toping up, so to put...

Richards being ordered. Body needs one bit welded, rest is solid.

Low oil level warning lights, ANOTHER piece of TOTALLY unnecessary electrical cr@p. They should only allow fitting alongside a good old fashioned dipstick.

Not sure if it can trigger the 3 Amigos, but there is one behind the air box which is associated with the SLABS. I’m sure it was part of a bulletin. Maybe I can find it.

One bit needs welding, good, good. What is alternative? A boring car?

Check where the pipes run over the rear spring turrets. The pipes are almost hidden and that’s where mine rusted through and all the fluid went. Filling the reservoir had no effect, it needed proper bleeding to get fluid through. I used a hand...

You have got a point, trying to deal with OP is becoming like herding cats!!

Seems to be www.d2bc.net now.

You could also try cutting a slot in the thread along the length of a spare bolt and run that through, helps to scrape out the crud in the female thread.

👍👍👍

Same with Chrome too.

Up to now, I've been using my iPad. Just tried the laptop (Linux) and got straight in. Odd!

Me too now.

yes had the same problem, I thought is was my PC blocking it and have kept trying to open the webpages, I dont do FB, so lets hoe it a fixable problem, after all that what theses forum are all about fixing stuff

Latest update from the FB group is that the issue causing it to be down is being looked at currently.

It’s been like that for 3 or 4 days now. Would be sad if they just shut it and migrated to Facecloth without saying anything.

Wondering that myself!

Unfortunately, I don't have any photos. Where the car was returned by the recovery truck was a bit of an obstruction, so I just had to get it running and back into the drive as quickly as possible. There is a write-up that may give you a good...

Well the Nak seal is still holding up after my initial doubts.

Welcome to the asylum! You might want to pop over to the "introduce yourself " part of the frum and do that. Also to put up pics. We like pics!:):):) There are plenty of threads on here about the 3 amigos, causes and cures.

For me is not very urgent so i'll drive it until the light comes on before starting the job ;)

Sounds very heavy work, in the end, if I win the lottery, I'll move somewhere where I can keep a load of vehicles in a safe, warm and secure barn and then fit lifts, 4 post and two post!!:):):)

I have a gearbox trolley addapted to the pit if needed but i'll ask my son to help so i might not need ropes if 4 hands are involved :)
