    Having issues again this morning, turns out I don't have a spanner that fits the fan, looking online it should be a 32mm but my 32mm isn't big enough...

    300tdi crankshaft puley bolt - Urgent

    Luckily didn't drive anywhere, started it, heard a horrible noise and switched off amid much swearing. Struggled to get the new one in, and still haven't, might have to strip down the front end to get to it which I really didn't want to have to do.

    300tdi crankshaft puley bolt - Urgent

    Thanks guys, managed to get one, haven't managed to get the new one to engage though so bit worried the internal thread is damaged as well... As for how it got damaged it involves adjusting the valve clearances, getting distracted by a phone call during reassembly and then starting the engine...

    300tdi crankshaft puley bolt - Urgent

    As above, don't suppose anyone has one spare in Herts or near by? Or know where I can get one at short notice? The threads on mine are screwed and I can't get it to engage.

    Any members near Sunderland able to change steering knuckle joints or lend me a press??

    No need for heat on mine. It was a two man job though, one on the breaker bar to screw it down and one to stop the clamp rotating.

    Soft brake pedal

    Bit of a weird one this, had to do quite a bit of work on my D2 to get it through it's MOT (steering knuckle ball joints, front shock bushes, rear pads (ended up needing new calipers, carriers and discs)) Having done all of that thought I'd be ready for a retest but the brake pedal is now soft...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Today I have spent the day wrestling with the front suspension. New shocks and new steering knuckle ball joints was the plan, got shock and ball joints done on the drivers side, had a break for lunch, then things went downhill. Jacked the car up wheel off, caliper off, carrier? Nope not a...

    Cruise Control

    Hi all, I've been looking at adding cruise control to my TD5 but the main cc switch retails at over 50 quid which seems outrageous. I've been told I can use a heated seat switch from a defender which is a possibility. However I've found a cc switch but it's from a Disco 1 that has the...
