Almost a year since I’ve been on this thread. I still have the landy, even though it doesn’t look much different. The last post was clutch issues, the clutch had completely let go, so that was replaced over a few evenings when the snow was really bad last year. There has been no other...

Welcome! I agree it is a marmite colour. And I’m not a fan :rolleyes:. It might be a rare colour because no one requested it :p Which pub was it parked behind? I had to have a nosey at your profile when you mentioned Lancashire, only to find your from barlick?!? Cheers Ash

There’s is a click everytime it’s turned on and off. I’ve been using it every day for around 12 weeks though without a single issue, just having to stall it to turn the engine off. Surely that rules out everything apart from fuel solenoid no? For an intermittent problem to stop completely...

I actually thought of this after I’d removed the plunger and refit the solenoid last night. I shall swap it again and try that. I was sulking at the fact it wasn’t working and wanted to go home I think, so didn’t bother taking it out again. Fingers crossed! Thanks Ash

I thought I’d been back to update this thread. The problem is my stop start solenoid (not sure if I’ve mentioned it) Has anyone had any experience with these? I’ve now tried 2 replacements and it doesn’t start, never mind intermittently. It refuses to start with my old one in also. The...

I don’t really know about the td5 sounds like almost the exact issue I had with my 200tdi, it would work for a week the just be very intermittent for the next week then work randomly. A lot of people suggested fuel issues and air getting in the system but it didn’t explain the intermittent...

When you come to sell the boosts please let me know. I’d like a set for mine. I’d happily just buy them without the tyres if needs be (depending on price) I’ll have to have a look this week at the unit to see if there’s any modulars, I think there’s just a lot of weller wheels unfortunately Ash...

It’s been mentioned. But that still doesn’t explain it? Essentially if the filters full (surely it’s full when the engine runs), when the engines turned off, it stays full, surely half of the fuel in the filter can’t flow upwards into the housing and back down the pipes, it’s physically...

So I haven’t touched the landy since Thursday night, went out today and it started immediately after not firing on Friday morning. So can’t really do any diagnosing whilst it works fine. I can’t understand why the filter would essentially empty itself, surely with the motor running its full...

That engine looks the part :rolleyes:

I know, It didn’t look that old! Unfortunately I have no idea, no mention of a clutch change with the paperwork I got with the car. So I came home tonight and it didn’t start (woooooo). The first time ive been happy it hasn’t started. Took the fuel filter off and it was only about half full...

So am i :confused: Yeah I put a brand new battery on it which I thought had solved it, it’s been fine for a few weeks. But now it’s turning and not firing (yesterday morning and this morning) but last night it started fine. There was some grey smoke when it started last night, but I think it...

Apologies for the lack of updates I haven’t been on here recently. So the slave was removed and the fork felt fine, but the clutch on the end of it wasn’t right, so over 3 evenings me and a friend swapped the clutch. About 3 hours a night, everything removed on night 1, clutch swapped and the...

As a very rough guide.... If you are priming then finish with a 240 and a red scotchbrite to key the area. Then prep primer with a 500/800 wet or dry sand paper and a grey scotch. Without knowing the ins and outs of what your doing it’s hard to be specific. Depends whether it’s base and clear...

Yeah I remember them being hard work on the disco. We managed it without the use of a ramp, twice and an engine swap but none of it was particularly easy. Okay cheers. If the arm has snapped, how come it still feels as though I have a pedal? I would of expected no resistance as someone has...

Yeah if I was doing the clutch and fork I’d probably do a the master and slave aswell. Me and another lad have changed the clutch and gearbox in a disco 300tdi, r380 box, I’m presuming the 200 and lt77 is pretty much the same job? Or is something drastically different?

Not good news then :(. I have put some cardboard in the footwell and there are a few small drops from the master? Guessing that will want replacing then aswell

Oh yeah, I never thought about putting a longer pipe on the bottle :oops:

Upon inspection there may be some drops of fluid in the footwell. But I couldn’t be 100% sure. I’ve shone a light up to where the pedal is and it may seem a bit damp, but I don’t know whether it’s me wishful thinking. The pedal doesn’t seem much different, maybe slightly heavier. I’m going to...

The love hate relationship is definitely hate at the moment. Something’s gone with the clutch, won’t go into gear with the clutch down whatsoever. Hopefully my luck will change at some point
