(Whats wrong with my bleeding technique! Lol)

thanks for the reply! Could be air, agreed. Bleeding follows the book broadly, as described at point 1. Head not warped, engineer who did pressure test confirmed that today. Also, if warped, it would probably show on compression test... The stat only fits one way. (and I make sure toggle valve...

Symptoms. A couple of month ago I noticed that my 300tdi engine was showing warmer than normal on a long run. Not into red, but up on normal position. Since then it got gradually worse, now going to ¾ mark on long trips. Engine has had nothing serious done for years, oil change, new filters etc...

Yes, YRM. Think if I'd known what it was wrong I might have driven more carefully, lol..

Problem solved. Not Springs. Not Dampers. Not Brakes. The Radius arm bracket/Panhard bracket was broken on the axle. Although it didn't look like that could cause the movement I'd seen, as soon as it was welded (temporary fix) the problem was solved. I'd not heard of this, nor had he. But as I...

Nope, No changes to suspension at all for several years. Last MOT front discs and calipers (9 months ago).

As I'm away from home a bit limited to what I can do. Took it to a landy specialist I know 30 miles away. He wasn't sure either, but suspects brakes not working on nearside. He did check (bounced) the dampers, and looked at the springs. Not convinced its brakes myself as both calipers are less...

Just been out and bounced, all seems fine. Bounced each corner, plus a fair amount of side to side rocking. the dampers seem to damp as they should. Fair amount of crawling around underneath, all looks fine. Odd, as its a very pronounced dip at slow speed.

Heres a pic of it, a few years ago, but nothings changed (apart from roofrack)

HI All, first post of an oddity I had today.. Landrover 90, pretty standard. At slow speed, halfway to work, I noticed that the drivers side dips significantly under braking, measured in inches. By slow I mean under 10 mph, higher than that and it's not noticeable. At a crawl its really bad. I...

HI All, new to the site, I normally lurk to find solutions to my land problems, never needed to actually post a question. Brief outline of Landrover. Standard 90 county, fitted with 300 tdi, 1987, no real mods, lots of rust. Owned for 4 years, done lots of things to it (mainly putting right what...
