It's Petrol ;);););)

get a mate with a battery powered impact driver to come and release it :)

Pumpkin OBD2 Scanner, WIFI Car Diagnostic Tool Fault Code Reader Wireless Adaptor Auto Check Engine Light Clear ELM327 (from amazon) with car scanner pro app (as I have a windows mobile) researched for ages to find one that would work with a windows phone and this one fitted the bill and well...

Never used on a land rover (have a series), but I bought a blue tooth engine management plug in thing and downloaded a reader app to my phone, the whole lot cost me less than £15 and I've read and reset codes on a VW Amorok, SAAB 93, Vauxhall zafira, honda crv, with no problems. Really useful as...

I used to have a P38 and got a lead and disc so I could look at and repair my suspension, they don't cost a fortune, might even still have mine somewhere. my issue turned out to be one of the sensors was broken, but until I took it off you couldn't tell as it fitted together perfectly when...

Range rover classic with 300 TDI engine was the best land rover I ever had, did virtually nothing to it in the 8 years I had it. Greatest car EVER.

Think this might have gone off topic a bit :(

Interesting (to me anyway) fact about the P38 V8 with automatic gear box. We had one a few years ago (lots of issues) but the main one that lead to it's sale was very odd. At it's last MOT I mistakenly asked the local garage to do a full service as I was short of time. A few days later we...

I know all this as I've been using these for years, but I love things like this that re-enforce that I am in fact doing it correctly, as I bought one of these and by guessing and trial and error and the odd bit of internet help have sort of figured it out. I really wish I had had something like...

If you haven't got space then leave it, as you'll need lots of room to put all the bits that need fixing as well as the car, mine sits at the back of the drive out the way of everyone, would be better in a garage, but you can't have everything.

My experience of owning series 2's, is avoid having them as a car you need use of as most jobs take longer than you think they will. If you have the room and can have it sitting there while you tinker then why not, you can always sell it on if it doesn't work out..

I "lost" a really decent mig welder, Hd Ramps, work lights and a whole myriad of tools. When I moved I lent them to a really good friend as I didn't have room at the time, but now I do, he doesn't speak to me or return any of my messages. BUT to be honest it's my friend that I miss not my tools.

I've just done one, (using the timing marks) on a 200 DI, never done one before and took my "time" with it, main one, was half the bolts were rounded from whoever did it before, so ordered a new set from Stig Fasteners they were all fine except one that I had to use 4 washers to pack out...

Well that's it back together, and it runs, took it out for a spin on Saturday. Now that's done, time to make a list of what needs doing, might be a long list !!

Not the same car but had a similar problem with P38, Air suspension would just randomly drop, no air leaks, and the compressor was fine, I bought the lead and software and it would reset correctly straight away. I measured all the sides and everything was fine, but it still kept randomly...

Hope it's good, got someone coming to look at repairing mine first

The Crank pulley bolt, but borrowed a torque wrench and did it last night (in the amongst the thousands of midges and drizzle) , so just got to put everything back that I took off to get at it now. This could be the longest timing belt change in history, the book says about 4hrs :)

nearly done, new timing belt is on and the covers are back on, just need to "find" / borrow a torque wrench that goes to 350nm as mine doesn't :( Then I can put the radiator etc etc back on

my torque wrench is in foot - pounds can anyone tell me if I've converted these right 21.7nm =16 45nm = 33 25nm = 18 and 350 nm = 258 thanks

Help I've somehow stripped the threads on my connector at the bottom of my fluid bottle anyone any idea where I can get another ?? The old style metal shared bottle
