Oh dear, missed oil changes in a previous ownership 😔 It's a big job that's for sure and if not done it's engine life over 🤯

Well the news is in & its the timing chain. How much of a faff is that?

😝

I stopped having it a long while back as I was always ill afterwards. This proved to be a link to my Guillain - Barre syndrome

Thousands of deaths and injury caused by the jab.

Get well soon lad. That land-rover ain't fixing itself 😝

While waiting for the new starter motor, and hex bits to remove the old one, I did some budget controllong excersice. Long story short, no more parts purchases in September, like none. Only car related expenses in that period of time, all...

Just an update, the o rings were the problem I replaced them all ,left it in off-road height overnight with F44 fuse removed, hasn't dropped a millimeter. I must thank everyone for there help.

Thanks for the kind words, lads.

All the best. Get well soon 👍

I'm taking it to the garage today. I could have done the job myself but I've just been in the ICU in hospital with a blood clot on the lungs (which is still there) So I can't be arsed to do it myself.🤪

THe Golden Girl has gone through battery issues a lot. Which our local recovery guy ( we only have one guy who covers AA, RAC, GREEN FLAG, et al) has attended marvellously. However she is not a patch on the Disco I had. I was still in...

First off, if the battery has repeatedly gone flat, the battery may be self discharging rather than your car having a fault. A battery capacity test would be a good idea. The pins you need on the 7S socket are pins 3 & 4. 4 is the live & 3 is...

Ah well, that's what the AA is for 😁

Well that's jinxed it

Thought about taking her on a road trip to pick up a long term donor. Sadly, it's not worth the trip. If even the interior had been the right colour I may have been more inclined.

I 'should' check mine too. Butttttt with all the stuff I carry in the boot, it can wait 😁

After what feels like years, I finally got Sandy up and running again. Turns out there is a bracket on the back of the fuel pump which wasn't installed. Got one to put on and boy did that suck. But it repositioned the FIP where she runs good...

Reporting in late. Yesterday afternoon I took the Rangie for its MOT. Totally clean on emissions. Mr. Tapley was happy with the brakes and all the lights and horns work. So a clean pass with no advisories. :D

Best sort the battery drain. Otherwise depending on sunshine at you local area, get a solar panel, or one of these Noco Genius chargers. I could not get enough sun due to local trees, but that Noco kept my Blue P38 batterys until I fixed the...

Blow it up to 60psi or more, easy to let some out if you have to use it, NBG if it has too little pressure.

And ?

I always carry and have done for many years the Holts puncture repairs cans. Have been very handy on a late wet and windy night just to get me home 👍

Now you'll be sure you won't need it for another 10 years!!

You've made me pop out and check mine. Looks brand new but flat as a pancake. I've never touched it in over 10 years. Looks brand new wheel and tyre. Suppose I'd better put some air in it:)

It was still there. Then i put it on the car lol!! Tyre looks repairable so that's good

Refilled the gearbox today and surprisingly after having it's valve block bolts tightened it still works LOL. Photo of refinished sump and for those that have not seen them, photo's of the gearbox under tray and engine under tray. Brake pads...
