Sorry for such a late reply, but here goes. Probably more info than is appropriate but what @derwendolly says about non-foods is the crux of the matter for me. First time I lost a whole load of weight and dropped from 15-7 to 12-7 I was eating as...

My stars is it lashing down in Lunnen now!!! The K and Q only just missed getting washed away!! :eek: :eek:

Like you wouldn't believe lad..🤣 Two quotes, Is it important ? Does it matter if I drive it like that? 😵‍💫

Hi Graculus Thanks so much for your info. This is good to hear that it is do able. I am south of Bedford so fairly central and willing to drive if its going to save some cost! Noted re the aftermarket parts, i think in this situation it would...

The crossover pipe is a separate part that connects the two exhaust manifolds together, they usually fail in the corrugated flex, either due to the number of heat/cool cycles eventually allowing a crack to start with the harmonic vibration, or...

hey up @Def90man "Jeepers, ma peepers, where d'ye get they sheepers" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

You can put videos up. Apparently the way to do it is to make a yout tube then link to it, so I have been told as I have never needed to do it!!

The body doesn't have to come off, a lot of places want to take the body off to make it easier for themselves at your expense. We always used to take the transmission out, the whole job is easily do-able in one day by one tech. Don't worry too...

Welcome to the forum! You might like to go onto the "Introduce yourself" section at some point. Isn't the crossover pipe a part of the exhaust, if so does this mean that the engine has to come out to replace the exhaust? Not familiar with the...

Hi all. I wonder whether anyone may be able to give me some info/advice. Having had my disco 4 3.0 v6 looked at by 2 different garages recently. One of them replaced steering column as Ujs had seized. The column had soot on it like exhaust...

Bet you say that to all the boys!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 I'll pass the complimong on to W!

Morning, walked and went to local farm shop they have pigs to visit and got to say hello to them. Farmer said they are away to market soon and I may be getting some meat from them. :) back in and I may have cheated and bought some strawberries...

W currently watching the Trooping of the Colours via youtube which is a bit wobbly, to say the least, but she can't get it any other way! At least we can plug it into the big screen/monitor. :):):)

He is one of several I have on "ignore", but I opened him up again just to see how horrible he was being. He is back on ignore now. No need for you to avoid threads you enjoy just cos of the gets on the forum. The ignore button is a good one!

Yes, thanks for that. There’s loads of people about who don’t have the courage to attack others in real life (if they have one) and so come on here to have a go at those who aren’t at their best. I’ve got more to worry about than people like that...

Mornin :) Bright start but looks and feels like rain Big tidy up of me living room today and cleaning all round :) Wishing I'd dome some painting yesterday, forecast not good for next week :( Next door being emptied after neighbour died, hoping...

I do seem to remember even ages ago that the positioning of the spark plug leads on Rover V8s was critical, so sounds like a good call. Is there any mileage in disconnecting the MAF to see how it runs on default? It works like a dream on a TD5...

Hmmm... those videos sound more like it's rapidly pulsing up and down? rather than misfiring??? Does that sound about right? It's a bit hard to hear over the belt/fan noise etc. Those long term trims are pretty up there - Pretty sure a Disco 2...

Oh dear @DevonGuy I see Gratch is being his normal horrible self. One of two or three major idiots on the forum. :(:(:( If you look back you'll see I gave him a mouthful, if he has any feelings at all he might be feeling justa wee bit ashamed...

This was the one I got , says the cap is euro style so indeed wondered if others would be the same , also got some spanner’s that have non return valves built in but of course only required if it’s not a pressurised set up Made up a bottle to go...

I think same style caps may have been fitted to Rover 200, 400, 600 & 800 type cars of a similar age. I did the same thing you're proposing quite a few years ago (Before I developed a helpful wife :)). I think I got the cap I adapted from a...

Drizzly and grey here! Seems we get the opposite to Bonny Scotland all the time! 🤣
