Classic. I’ll PM you mate

After window trim for the rear quarter windows defender. anyone got some Lying around?

Assuming sold?

Are they not standard metric size bolts? I seem to remember just cutting down some bolt I had lying around. it’s a PIG to get it all connected. I had to use a ratchet strap to pull the whole exhaust backwards.

As has already been said waxing the inside is the most important as they rot from the inside out. For the surface you can basically use any chassis paint.

I woul Could be anything and as said not necessarily clutch. I’ve had similar symptoms with a sticking handbrake. I would start at the wheels and work backwards to the tranny checking for play.

Yeh that’s odd. I would tend to agree and say a fuel issue. If you’ve done the injectors and pump just got to work backwards from them.

Another one down. Always sad to see a British business go under.

Hard to tell as what you’re describing is quite subjective. You should get a reasonable amount of suction. If the brakes are **** and not much suction then thinking about the vacuum pump isn’t a bad start.

These vehicle came out of the factory in a standard fashion for a reason. The standard filter is more than adequate. That’s assuming they’re checked regularly to ensure they’re not blocked.

Get the vehicle on level ground, start, put in gear with hand brake off and look underneath to see which prop is turning. This will tell you front or back. Then take to plastic caps off to see if the shaft is turning in the drive flange. If neither is pull the half shafts out.

Also, I know this isn’t the point of your post, but doesn’t red oxide make it difficult to see where it’s rusted through? Being that both are red and all? I seem to remember that one of the reasons red oxide was used so prolifically on bare metal was because It essentially made it harder to see...

Im assuming you wax the inside of your chassis in that case? They rust from the inside out as I’m sure you know. I’d be surprised if a bit of primer makes a huge difference and I’d suspect it’s more the regular cleaning that’s of benefit but all welcome as you say. Pull the half shafts out and...

You need layers of security. Peddle box, ignition barrel guard, tracker, cut offs etc if they want it they’ll take it

Plus 1 for above. Keep it looking like a shed

Why do you paint everything in red oxide? That’s a primer? if it works in diff lock it won’t be a tranny or gear box problem. Most likely culprits are snapped halfshaft - easy fix. Or shredded hub splines - also an easy fix but check splines on CV joint as they are likely worn as well.

I used that stuff once. It ended up just cracking. It was on the roof so perhaps to much flex.

And failing to read the manual correctly. And doing the same job twice because I balls'd it up first time round

TBH mate I would reinstall what I had when it came out of the factory

I have to say my favourite part of Land Rover ownership is the satisfaction of fixing an issue that was entirely of my own making
