Sounds like air in the fuel to me.

flat battery :)

landrover will tell you the eka code they have on record. it may or may not be correct. Id be looking at the key radio receiver box under the headlining. behind the rear sunroof if you have sunroofs :) same place if you don't but harder to get to. check the earth.

its best to give it full throttle for maximum smoke output just as you pass a cyclist :)

couldn't tellyou about a defender td5 but a disco td5 PCM needs a signal from the body module or it wont run. I guess a defender is similar...needing a signal from somewhere. There are ways and means round about it but nothing free :)

1.5 Ais quite a drain. A modern day ford car would be less than 0.3A thats enought for keep alive stuff like clock/radio/alarm. The little wires....one is the warning light. The other is rev counter. I doubt its either of them. I'd connect an Amp meter and pull fuses and relays and see...

its automatic....just put it in PARK and forget the handbrake :)

buy a d3.....d2s are worthless now, They are all rotten. At least a d3 will hold some of its value for a while yet :)

Doesn't make any difference if its abs or not. Changed dozens of abs pumps/blocks/modules/pipes they all bleed just fine. I know most diagnostics have abs bleed routines...but the really are not needed :) Leave all the bleed nipples open and have a cup of tea. job done

the immobiliser works on the pcm so even if the engine cranks over it wont go, Might fire for a second then cut off but it wont run. :)

worked in garage for 30 years and we never needed a brake bleeder,,,,gravity works 99.9%of the time :)

transit batteries are under the drivers seat.....they have a little vent pipe from the battery through the floor to outside

im just in the middle of an auto conversion....that looks like a good place for the shifter :)

Anyone interested in a 3.5V8 injection and/or a lt77 manual gearbox. Its being removed from a 90 but was originally a range rover engine. Engine will come complete with all ancillaries/downpipes/control boxes etc. All I can tell you is it starts and runs. and splutters and coughs but...

I guess it does it with the wheels on under normal driving conditions? The transmission can make evil noises if its not actually driving anything :)

A compression test would not be a bad idea...might be a valve or a lack of compression but if the cam lobes are knackered and the valves are good you will still get some compression Rocker cover off and turn the engine over, watch the rockers to see if they move the same distance as the others.

camshaft :)

did you park on top if that oil patches or is that whats dripped out will its sat there :D:D:D

no but first thing that springs to mind is swap the seats side to side then the switches will be in the middle

Thats how I do it, same idea to put the new one in :) When putting the circlip on the bottom I use a jack with a small socket to push the cap up. Its easier than removing the drop arm. :)
