I think they released the drive shaft to move it around so would this point towards handbrake or box?. Just a bloody shame to see it rotting in the field.

Evening folks, visited my bother in law today and came across this in the field... ..he was left it in his girlfriends dads will. Any ideas on what it would be worth as it is. The gear box is seized and the canvas is wrecked. He has no love for land rovers and I reckon it would end up...

Take it from me as I have just gone through this. If you think it is the head gasket then deal with it before it's to late. If you cook the head to many times it will be scrap, £300 plus for a new head. To strip down and replace the gasket isn't to bad a job to do. Looking about £100 for parts...

Like that bb? For one minute there I thought you was going to offer some advice on fixing a land rover!

Ok so this fecking cnut of a vehicle will not give up spoiling my day. Everything is now back together. Took it for a few miles last night, all appeared well. Took in to work with me today to do a few things, like final flush of coolant system and refilling with antifreeze etc. Noticed a bit of...

Note to self.......... . . . . before torqueing down the head ALWAYS ALWAYS ensure that nothing like, lets say, the temperature gauge wire and block is not. I repeat, is NOT lying across your new gasket and hanging down in to cylinder number 1 , or you will have to strip the...

Ah so just leave it standing as is ?

Which fits???? It looks like it is in a position to fit somewhere near the back of the head. Dose not reach the injectors but can push half way down the head if that helps!

Which fits on top of the axle?

The coolant won't necessarily boil if the gasket has blown. Have you got white smoke?. Also when you torqued the head down how many nm did you do, also did you wind on a further 60 then 20 degrees?.

It's the little black plastic pipe that sits by the heater plugs!

Any ideas as to what this fits on? Back left hand side of the head!

Right then, head is back on and tightened down. Next question is, I have put the push rods and rocker bar back in, should the push rods sit in the hole tight or do they flap around a bit untill I bolt the bar down?

One of the core plugs from under the turbo. I have changed all apart from the bugger at the back of the block.

Had the head pressure tested today and thank god it wasn't cracked, so had them face it. Back on tomorrow hopefully, with new head bolts as well.

And how the **** to you upload pictures on here?

I cant get to the one at the back of the block without having engine out?
