Injectors tend to last longer than the rest of the engine, the fault codes suggest to me that the Lambdas might need looking at. Peter

We actually have two! Trouble is that they block access through the factory yard when they are erected. We did use one extensively when we did Rob's 109" Safari chassis, but that wasn't as big or as bulky as the Rangie. Peter

Rain again! Got out later in the day and started on getting some work done at last. The wrong water pipe that goes into the lower inlet manifold had been delivered, and once that was fitted I could get the power steering and aircon pumps bracket fitted up. The idlers were pretty good so I've...

We took pride in our work when I was working on trucks, plus you were working on rather bigger and more expensive lumps, the DS14 Scania V8 diesel for example. You couldn't send out a heavy truck that was going to drive to the Middle East without being sure it was safe. Scania and Volvo were the...

Here is the Thor crankshaft pickup housing, EIQ100020. It locates on a roll pin through the hole on the edge, and is TIG welded in one spot to hold it in place. Peter

Silver Sparkle. Peter

No need for us to keep it, we bought a spare wheel as ours was breaking up on the rim, so just bits that weren't used. This was 3-4 years ago, we don't throw anything away! Still got the airbag etc. Peter

GEMS block has crankshaft pickup in a slightly different position to the THOR block. We fitted a GEMS block to our D2 in 2009, found out at the assembly stage that they were different. The small alloy housing is/was available to convert, I have a new THOR housing but don't know if the GEMS one...

Agree, it's there to be used, so I don't want to come out and find it won't start one morning, or find a tyre near the limit. If you buy one, spend money sorting it out, don't wait for things to go bad, change all the oils, sort out leaking sunroofs if fitted, check belts etc etc. Pre-emptive...

Another day dodging the rain: One part we were waiting for was wrongly picked by LR Parts Centre. Dealer's label had the right number but the part label was totally different! Marshalls were very good about it, wasn't their fault, replacement will be here tomorrow. The recalcitrant exhaust...

Your numbering/colour code looks correct to the RAVE circuit diagram. Peter

Looks like it's a good one, the r/h button is glued up but the l/h one is OK. Message me your postal name and address, I'll get them posted today. Includes the wiring loom. Peter

I've got a one or a pair on the desk at work somewhere, you're welcome to it/them for the cost of postage. I'll have a dig in the morning, I know roughly where they should be! Peter

Yes, a Cuckoo in the nest is a possibility, but I've looked back through the big stack of bills, the last time the heads were touched was at 66k miles, we are at 115k now, so I'd have thought that any colouring would have been masked by now? Difficult to tell, but a few months on diesel engine...

Thanks for that, but let's wait until it is running before we get too excited :) :) Peter

Put your (approximate) location in your user signature, you can't forget it then :) Peter

Having a bit of a struggle with the offside rear exhaust manifold to head bolt. We will get there, but it's been called a few names this afternoon! Lot of tension on the manifolds, wondering about pulling off the support rubbers underneath. Peter

Where are you located? Helps if we know.... Peter

LPG burns at a higher temperature and has none of the cooling effect that petrol has when it is atomised in the inlet, so an LPG engine needs to have first class cooling and coolant. Peter
