    Hi ratty, Could you possible change my user name from 'cyclamen' to 'roast beef' please?...I think I am in for a bit of abuse if I don't change it (quite possibly well deserved)

    Hi ratty ,
    Apparently you met my son joe ( black defender 90 softtop ) and you told him the engine was on its way out .... Well you were right.... Engine has expired, funeral soon. I fancy dropping a V8 into it , can you recommend the best engine / gearbox to fit it please ... Are you going to Kats wedding ?

    "when you corner does the steering feel a little bit to precise?"
    Hi Ratty, sorry to be a pain I've been trolling the net for answers and replacing parts on the steering and saw your question/post re above. I have this symptom though the steering when all was well was set up before slight impact, was positive and responsive, (since the front end had slight Impact from a Lady driver) all front end steering was replaced, now on second decent damper it all feels a bit too twitchy and front seems, on occasion to swoop to the right or left. Supposedly the tracking was done.
    When you ask this question i assumed you might be able to shed some light on this please.
    Steering drop arm joint and all track rod ends/rods replaced, its 110 Heavy duty special vehicle TD5 2001.
    Oh and Im now not sure if the steering box is actually centralised reading all the other posts.
    Cheers.

    52 plate TD5 Sump filling with diesel
    I have recently brought a discovery td5 on a 52 plate with 112,000 on the clock, upon purchasing i was told that the injector seals had been replaced. after owning car for 1 week only the sump again filled with diesel so I had the seals re done. the car was then parked up for 3 weeks and then used for approx. 180 miles and guess what the sump filled with diesel again. I have been told that this could possibly be a cracked head or does anyone know of anything else that cause this? Also with the sump filling with diesel would this have damaged the bottom end? I am unsure whether to find and mend the fault or try and sell the vehicle...
