I fitted led lights to mine ages ago and never had a problem even with the original relay. That being said I've somehow got 3 of the adjustable ones so if you do need one give me a shout, I'll never use them

Probably a long shot but has anyone in central Scotland got a 300tdi Defender drivers side seatbelt kicking about? Mine failed its MOT on some wear to the belt and i won't get one in till next week now if I order online which means having it off...

Copper grease the studs, that stuff will stay on forever. PTFE the nuts

Any thoughts what on adhesive to use for sticking these in ?? I was going to use Evo Stik contact adhesive, but that’s not going to give me much leeway and adjustment. I need something that will allow me at least a little movement to get it into...

Thanks. One side done.

Easy.

Yea I know that it is hard to measure and do it just by feel. The last time I replaced mines master I could not get it to bleed at all. Turned out the new master was gooie inside and at the first press piston stuck at the bottom though doubt it...

I had this on mine with the caliper on the rear left taking the thicker pads and the one on the right the thinner ones. Took me longer than id care to admit (that and I didn't want to spend the money) to realise that id obviously replaced the...

How do I do the Naked Gun facepalm gif? The one shot grease works absolutely fine, pretty much most people use it including myself and I've never her a problem with it. Your grease isn't going in because you scooped it into a ****ing funnel and...

Is this how the grease you used came ?? If yes, this packaging is designed for the narrow end to go into the “whole”. It is well designed and it works well, with no requirement to heat it or remove the grease prior to using it.

Yeah, it's supposed to be 0.5mm clearance which isn't exactly easy to work out but it's definitely making contact with the piston, I'll just need to try and find the correct length to adjust it to as there doesn't seem to be any set figure. I'll...

Have you checked the amount of free play the pushrod to master has? It is only a very small amount but if too much no brakes. No freeplay and brakes will stick on some.

There's a part number on the caliper body, usually starts with FTC

Adjust your steering lock stops. And buy actual swivel grease in the tubes, you don't remove it from the tube like that before using it. Do you squeeze all your toothpaste into a bowl first anaw?

I have never had a problem squeezing swivel grease from a bag. Do you keep yours in the freezer?

What have I walked in on?! People boiling bags of grease now? Wtf

I've replaced my brake master cylinder tonight and after being hopeful my brakes would be sorted they're now even worse than before. Despite bleeding 3 times including cracking the brake pipe unions at the master cylinder (with no air coming out...

You'll be able to fit them into a 90. It's tight but they'll fit, just stack them upright

the bolt hole is so you can fit a heavy duty or extended roof rack. They have supports that bolt down to the rear crossmember and that bracket on the windscreen. Pics from Google:

I'll try whatever else I can at this point

Maybe it's time to do test's that we know are wrong Disconnect the inlet air pipe from the back of the air filter - yours is a defender so it's different from the disco I have Disconnect the turbo to injector pump pipe and see the results - if...

Never seen ones with a bolt on the outside. Has someone drilled all the way through and used a nut and bolt as a fix for a stripped thread? The new brackets will have three threaded holes and you screw bolts into front inside.

It's not getting fuel, there's a leak or a hole somewhere. Check the fuel lines. Failing that check your air filter

Apologies for the late reply. I think i would rather get to the bottom of my issues than tweak the pump just yet. I fitted a new fuel line fed directly from a jerry can in the footwell but what I didn't do is connect the return line as I wanted...

Mine is an ex utility vehicle and has such has the side lockers and whatnot. The chassis was originally stamped HD although that didn't stop it turning into a rusted mess and going to the big scrapyard in the sky. It also originally had a PTO...

I know you can adjust the diaphragm setting and star wheel for low end boost, my diaphragm was already set to what most people seem to go for I.e about 1o'clock position. I don't need any low end boost, it's just top end im after but I wasn't...

Back to this ****show. I ran some diesel purge through it, it didn't like it at first but it did end up drinking it all like a good little engine should. Took it out a drive and it started off well, got up to 65mph quite happily and fairly well...

Twas a joke 😒

A squirter? Thought you had to go to pornhub for those. It's the brakepipe to your caliper but I'm concerned you can't even recognise something as basic as that.

Removed the cover off the top of the injection pump and the boost diaphragm is immaculate with no holes or splits whatsoever. It did have oil on top however but I suspect this is from years ago when my head gasket failed and the engine ran away...
