To set this engine to TDC take the left hand rocker cover off (as viewed from the driver's seat facing forwards). Remove No1 spark plug - front cylinder on the same side. Put a long metal rod through the plug hole into No1 so it rests on the piston. Be sure it's long enough NOT to fall into the...

SE108201L - the ones at the corners marked 5 in the pic & the others in the pic also marked 5 - are 8mm x 20mm set screws. Usually rust into the inserts in the bumper & just spin round in the plastic when you try to undo them. For the rest if you Google the part number it will usually come up...

Sort of thing that's often used with outboards to pull the flywheel off the top of the crankshaft - got one for my V6 Mercury outboard - so a marine engineer might well be a good call. Random google: https://marinetech.com/mercury-flywheel-puller.html

It should be, but you're dealing with a Big Boy's Meccano set so you can never assume anything :) Perhaps the OP will update...

Is it a carburettor engine - & if so which ones - or is it fuel injection & if EFi has it the flapper air flow meter or the hotwire AFM?

LRcat says RTC5691 https://new.lrcat.com/#!/1229/80905/81754/6436/81762 A quick google suggests finding somewhere that's got one is going to be the issue, a now sold ebay listing suggests it was also used on the Disco 1 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/375307573249

http://forum.britishv8.org/file.php?6,file=21337,in_body_attachment=1 Shows the oil flow route - oil in black. Goes into the hollow rocker shaft & through holes into the rocker arms themselves which have an oilway before draining back down to the sump through the 'V'. So nothing really to throw...

Is there an appropriate amount of oil showing on the dip stick? Does the oil pressure warning light come on when you turn on the ignition? Does the oil pressure light go out? The oil systems on these are high volume & low pressure, shift a lot of oil but it may not be splashed all over the...

Integral part of PRC5072. Might be an idea to remove the assembly & give it a thorough blasting & flush with an aerosol of contact cleaner. If that doesn't work then PRC5072 is available new for around £40 incl p&p on ebay & around £30 plus p&p from Paddocks & Craddocks. Not done one, but I've...

Perhaps they're frightened of the snarling beast. (Or the Range Rover:))

They probably think that they need to use a decelerometer (Tapley meter) to do the brake test to avoid something horrendous to the transmission. Tester's manual S1.2.1 "The primary brake tester must be used unless the vehicle is unsuitable due to its drive configuration, transmission type or...

What's entered on the fail certificate/online MOT test check as the actual reason given for the fail? You can use this website by entering the vehicle reg to see: https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history The reason & the relevant section (shown as numbers & letters) of the tester's manual will be shown.

For problem 1 you need to find a measured half mile as used by the Police for checking their own speedos & run it over that with a decent stopwatch at 30mph & 60mph. 30 it should take 60 seconds & 60 it should take 30 secs. You'd need to find a friendly cop to tell you! Not a lot of help to...

It's item 15 in this link: https://new.lrcat.com/#!/1229/79751/79752/6336/80474 Described as a 'bush'. Land Rover part number MWC2707 Used from VIN number DA to end of Classic production. A very quick google doesn't raise much hope as it shows as 'out of stock' for UK listings & I think discool...

'87 MY isn't covered by Rave. It's a big thick book SRR660ENWM.
