Hmmm, rad seal could be a temporary solution. It would be nice driving some miles this summer after spending hours and hours welding rust, fixing wire harness, exhaust, searching for various parts, looking for bolts in a rusty old bucket, etc...

The two litre diesel had them holes and they are tell tale holes for the liner seals, not sure if the 2.25 are the same?

Gotta be worth trying some rad seal first

Are there 4 holes and definitely coolant not oil?, they’re not on the 5mb but there are bigger ones on my engine on other side, think my 200di has some but sealed off with silicon poss on other side Can you stick a wire in see how deep they go...

Another thought is partially blocked jets in carb

Brilliant, thank you!

That’s a good bodge last ages can’t see it taking any weight if it’s just a sensor. I had mine out a week ago on 10 mile bumpy off road, noticed the vacuum and washer bottle shaken off its corroded mounts on inner wing, so I cut up last of left...

That'll do. That horizontal arm looks like it came out of a toilet cistern!

Some holiday reading for you 😀 https://www.landyzone.co.uk/search/6596168/?q=Jerking&t=post&c%5Bchild_nodes%5D=1&c%5Bnodes%5D%5B0%5D=6&o=relevance

I’ll take a look when back off my holiday, she’s due a service so I’ll grease everything up and clean thoroughly at service

i have had my tank right down to a gallon and it still picked up fuel ok which i assumed was too low, yes 10 gal 45 l, i use litres here but a imp gal is 4.5 litres, a us gallon differs again with it being around 3.85litres. you would have a...

Remove sender and dip the tank with a stick, compare reading to bottom of stand pipe, modify to suit.

Are the individual sections of linkages moving smoothly without stickiness, you would need to disconnect them to test though

Jack one wheel up, see how much you can turn it. With all wheels on the floor, how far can you turn the prop (handbrake released and out of gear) make sure it's secure and won't run you over

How about wear in the throttle linkages.. ours would tickover lovely when stationary, take it for a drive and it would be erratic again, all down to worn linkages.

Full metal throttle linkage - no cable sadly + you could balance a 50pence piece on that engine whilst she runs, super smooth

Perhaps a split in pick up pipe and when you went uphill this allowed it to suck in air

If you can get the tank down to half, siphon and stick dip while you have sender out and then trial fit sender bending the arm to get gauge to read about right. Probably the best you will get.

I think the only answer is to look and measure, who knows what a previous owner has done

Loose engine mountings moving throttle cable ?

Maybe valve stem oil seals draining into cylinders standing or being sucked in with throttle off

I hope everything bloody works coz it's on now, 🫣 used big breaker bar with a bit of scaffolding tube fir more leverage and tightened it as hard as I could . Then again I'm not as strong as I used to be these days. So might get my son to give it...

Divide 250ft/pounds by your weight in pounds which will give to the length of bar in feet to stand on , if bar a bit longer just use tape to measure length where to stand Maybe do the final torque over the 210 when you know everything works and...

Hello, Jake here - Ashley, you're right, I didn't respond very quickly but I thought I'd share the conversation at it seems a little miss represented here. (of course confidential details hidden)

I haven't used the Small Claims Track for a while now, but it costs £100 to start the proceedings. OK, if you win you get it back.... I think the company sounded a bit inexperienced but nevertheless polite and offering a free one really was...
