You underestimate my ability to burn things..

Now fair enough you might set the car on fire with a plumber torch soldering tiny wires but you can get electric soldering irons now which would be a little safer or even small gas powered ones lol.

Ooh, the next thing is listen to the engine running with what resembles a doctors stethoscope. The noise could then be almost pin pointed to an area and give you an idea of where to go next. I had a client bring a jag with the 2.7td v6 to the...

Right so quick update - drove back from a cycle to the unit to dump the bike etc and had a quick nose under the seat to check which connector. Moved it slightly and now the SRS light is gone with no message either - so thankfully not the clock...

I got bored and fed up. Reset gearbox adaptions. All the clunks and hard shifts have gone. It's like a new car! Obviously when i paid the garage to do it and asked "have you done it" the dude obviously lied because it was no better. If you want...

I put up pictures in a post maybe 12 years ago. Swapped motors over from an MGF lock of the same vintage as mine.

I arrived back in the UK today so will start to get the RR sorted and up for sale or at least one of them. Flew from Brisbane to Bankock with Singapore Airlines and then flew up to Chang Ria the next day with Air Asia and spent a couple of day...

Clean connectors with electrical cleaner with before coupling back together. When I had it it was the connector behind panel below steering wheel . 4 screws to remove panel, yellow wires are SRS, pull connector apart spray refit

Ifound! the cut hose goes to a switch near the pedal, i succeed to connect a new hose there , from a T that goes to the vacuum pump and the CC actuator. Don't know why this hose was cutted ... And the plenum connection goes to a vacuum ball that...

It was a Nissens one from 10, maybe 12 years ago. Looking at the prices those ally Direnzo ones are near enough the same price as aftermarket. My concern is it is only 2 core and someone on here once said the Land Rover original ones were 4...

A good question, it's an x5 transmission setup?? 🤔 My advice to the poster is to find someone who knows these cars who will help you better and more economically without just throwing time and money at it leaving you disappointed in the vehicle...

Hottest day of the year so far, 34C, and the aircon decided to stop working.

Head overtemp alarm went off on the way home but needle bang on 12 o'clock. Reversed into the drive to clouds of white steam - sh1t! Radiator cracked along the top and ****ing coolant. That's a Nissens one that has been on maybe 10 years.

That is nice looking classic, great colour and a credit to you👌😎

Here she is

Hopefully just the head gasket and not crack in the head. These heads are fragile unfortunately. If it's just the gasket that'sore hopeful. There are that say the head can't be skimmed but there are also those that say it's possible but it...

I removed the thermostat and ran the vehicle Rad is now warm all over I left the coolant cap slightly loose.. no overheating and rad hoses are not hard.. Drove 30 minutes No over heating sniff test done and confirms gas leak…😡😡..

P38, front side wing indicator lens was cracked and looked a bit shabby. Got a used unit that had green gunk inside it, as I was trying to wash it out the clear lens dropped off the unit. Removing and Replacing the whole unit , which is what is...

I did read somewhere about the idea of the coolant tank being split past way up, coolant drops to that level and no further. I don't think that's the case here though. When i checked the other day and took the cap off the whole area looked dry...

How am I supposed to be lazy sitting upright? 😂

Ive seen this but it's a million dollars from America and the L322 side anchor points would need some serious beefing up somehow. I also suspect this is too tall to fit the anchor points.

Cunning.. just like a land rover

sorry but🤷😅

I might be in Reading next week, but don't know what day yet. If you're nearby I can bring my Nanocom.

The tape and gloves removes the option of refusal to get in 😁

Carry on gents I'm listening to you both. Oh that reminds me got to dig that new lime pit on allotment :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Yes loads of fields and forests here. Miles upon miles in every direction. Never been to Yorkshire but I do know a Rubberknees

1 would assume 🤔 That driving in Europe would be better to have a LHD vehicle ;). It’s only the “beast” that’s RHD and that don’t see the snow from its garage. J

One would assume the correct side, on the right lol.
