hope all is ok with them

I use heat shrink tube for the ends of the leak off pipes, I believe it tightens them up slightly

Keep your return lead as close to your work area as possible. this will reduce the chance of the current finding a better path through electrical items and keep the return tight to the metal. the less resistance the better your results. your material should be as clean as possible as you do not...

How much simpler can it be. first post says it all-------- As heading suggests as a temporary solution to my head gasket troubles, I have bought another p38 diesel.. The plan is, to get someone to remove my engine and I can rebuild it from the ground up. . Or I may swap the best bits of 1...

I wopuld expect them to read the words before commenting

ITS NOT ME THAT IS TALKING ABOUT PUTTING ADDITIVES IN THE ENGINE . READ THE BLOODY POST PROPERLY. THE TEMPORARY SOLUTION IS ANOTHER R/R UNTIL I SORT THE PROBLEM OUT PROPERLY.WHATS THE MATTER WITH YOU?

I wish you would just read posts instead of continually using inane comments.NOWHERE have I said I would use " snake oil" I have however said that I may remove the old engine and find out the cause of the trouble and rebuild it. AGAIN if you have nothing constructive to say then SAY NOWT

Fair point thanks

Hi, my " new range rover" is at the moment on Springs (UGH) but will shortly be returning to Air suspension. I purchased a set of air springs a while ago, but appear to have misplaced the "collet" that sits in the top. any ideas where they are available from? please.

Yes Iwill use th parts off the old one to sort the bits on the new one

the old car is a good car , but the cost of replacing the engine is about the same as the newer car plus the newer car has only had 2 owners and much lower mileage

Hi all, your help is needed yet again. I have purchased a 1999 2.5 dhse to replace my problem motor. I have now to decide whether to swap all the best bits of my old car on to the new one and scrap the old one or to sell the old one "as is" and buy what is needed for the new car ?

Wammers you are as reliable as a clock and as boring reading war and peace . if you have nothing constructive to say then shut up.

As heading suggests as a temporary solution to my head gasket troubles, I have bought another p38 diesel.. The plan is, to get someone to remove my engine and I can rebuild it from the ground up. . Or I may swap the best bits of 1 car into the other. At least I am mobilev again and not having to...

Any fab shop could repair yours at a reasonable cost

doing mine tomorrow
