That looks like a puller vs a hammer, I reckon that would risk breaking them. I cant believe how hard I spent trying to remove mine and then when I finally saw a pro's slide hammer, it took him 60 seconds.

Just make one they are easy enough I think I welded a long nail with a socket on it and it was sufficient.

Awww such a shame you lose your garage sounds like a great collection and hobby coming to an end.

Yup you are right.. quite normal for country which uses KpH over MPH. Not sure but I had a UK Series3 and it was the same.

Its funny you should say that I have spent the last 4 weeks drilling out about 40 rivnuts from the fibreglass/epoxy body of my other car in the luggage compartment. It has inspection panels which are rivnutted on and sh1te. Clearly weren't greased on first application.

If it were a fuse I doubt the light would come on.... broken wires are common I was speaking to a mechanic chap who said the passenger seat heated seats often went and the cause was mums kneeling on that seat to sort the baby out in the back.

Eyes of a hawk.... good spot...

Ahhh that hole isnt one of the fill plugs its the hole which says if its charged or not. Usually looks green for charged or black for flat. I wouldnt use it and would swap it out for safety. Gases are given off when batteries are charged and as you have smelt fumes, as you drive it may well...

No definitely not what has popped out is one of the sealing plugs which are perm sealed during manufacture...Back in the olden days you would pop them and top up water but they are all perm sealed now.

My Defender 200TDI has been laid up for 5 years, It was always serviced and oil changed etc and was a good runner until 5-6 years ago. CAMBelt was last done about 10 years ago. About 8-9 years ago I did all oils, gearbox/transfer box etc. Last started and ran 2 years ago for about 20 mins then...

Welcome, once you get to the UK you will be able to buy from any supplier in the uk and get it delivered. Even if you are mobile there are storage bins etc you can always rent for a few quid. There are a fair whack of decent parts suppliers but I suspect 90 percent of folk get mail order now.

welcome

For what its worth I had similar and picked up a volt meter/fuse adaptor then just went through the fuses to see which was pulling. It was pennies on Amazon.

Looking at those pics I dont blame him....Thermostat on any car should be a mandatory 30 mins max.
