Diesel Dog, you mention that you're realigning your rear door. Mine is sagging so it won't shut. What's the remedy?

Thanks Resto.

DD and MHM, thanks, guys. Brute force and ignorance rules the day.

I understand fully. Finally, after 6 months of good weather not doing anything, I'm once more trying to get the fuel tank out of my Landrover. Do you, or anyone else reading this, have any advice for undoing the thoroughly rusted bolts which hold the bottom plate that supports it?

I like to look for a physical address, and indeed this site didn't have one. Another thing to look out for is a physical address which is a serviced office. There was one advert whose advertiser's site gave a contact address in London, which when I Google Mapped it, turned out to be a Regus...

Remember that laser rust remover which cost thousands of dollars...? Well, I got this advert sent me, which offers to flog one extraordinarily cheaply https://aa.fleeone.life/products/rust-removal-machine?fbclid=IwAR0irBL-cLtO9miSf4V-LMpBsCqCxvULbrBHBKu6G-qeK0PIBuUimsvXH1c It's over £100 so the...

That's not what it was sold to me as. Both it and its other half, were described differently, and I was charged substantially more than I would have expected to pay for "a screw" (although substantially less than I'd imagine I'd have to pay for half an hour with a lady of the night).

That's even better. I won't actually need a coach bolt, there's a piece of metal with a helical groove in it wedged tightly in the hole. It's been there ever since my drill bit broke.

Nothing fancy then. I was concerned that constant exposure to fuel vapour might require something more exotic. It's a diesel I've got, so it's not explosive vapour, but I didn't want whatever I used to crumble like cheese after a few months. I take it chewing gum isn't recommended. Thank you.

You appear to be in need a couple of Euromillions rollover jackpots to get you your place in the wilds. I'll leave you to invest in that, but while you're doing so... I've been trying to remove the fuel tank. This process has trashed a rather smug feeling I've been having. When removing the...

Thanks. All information gratefully received.

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks. I want to make it as straightforward as possible as I have no skill yet.

Advice please. what are the advantages/disadvantages of using flux cored wire rather than gas. I ask because Lidl are flogging a "flux cored wire welder" at at remarkably advantageous price (£79.99), there seems to be no facility to attach a gas bottle to the kit.

The more work I do, the more work I find needs doing.

What? White spirit dissolves that sticky black stuff?

Finally got the side off. Mr. Dieseldog, Sir, those three pages you sent me were most valuable and very helpful (although never as helpful as one would wish). Section 77 of the workshop manual isn't included in the edition I've bought. It jumps straight from section 76 to section 80. Although...

Thanks

Now that it's warm and light again, work recommences after a 6 month hiatus. That means I'm in distress and need... HELP! How are the outside panels fastened to the vehicle? What do I have to do to remove them? How many fasteners are there of what type and where? Here's the picture of what I...
