Afternoon all, I'm in the Peterborough area, and basically my timing belt needs changing which I'd like to do myself or more importantly learn how to do it....so if anyone feels kind enough to come show me how its done I'll get you a box of beer or bottle of whiskey or something....eitherway I'm...

Excellent find mate!! This will definetely be stuck on the garage wall!

Yeah i think they are the same part, at least this would suggest it is anyways.

And oh god, that heat shield that got shattered/burnt/buggered costs over 120 quid from land rover :( lame

...evening guys, mine bloody broke on me today, destroying most of the shroud that goes over the top of the exhaust pipe. I need to get a spare bracket on monday but don't know the part number. Anyone else had this bracket go on them? Have managed to bodge it with a piece of copper wire for...

yeah Marshalls in Pboro knew the size, its 300tdi's that are apparently sods as they actually have 2 sizes of sump plug, with no records of which has which!

Yeah I did read your post, 29mm or 1 1/8th inch. I know there isn't much in it but I was confirming its defo 1 1/8th....nevermind.

If anyone wants to know, 200tdis (defenders at least) definetely have a 1 1/8th inch sump plug, at least thats what Land Rover service guys at Peterborough said and it worked on mine.......that is all.

torque settings I've found for a 200tdi and 300tdi were 35nm I think, will have to check. And as for the plug size, I'll get the vernier out tonight and see what it is!!

Surely it would simply be better to have a socket so that when you put it back in I can torque it correctly. Anyone know off the top of their heads what size the socket needs to be? I read somewhere it was "near" 28 or 29mm, so its obviously an imperial measurement.

Believe me, getting oil in my mouth was not my first plan, but anything I tried to pump it with wouldn't budge it, oh well. Am sorting out a correct socket for the sump plug today and I'll get the oil changed asap!

Christ sake, what a fun evening this has been!!! Tried using the petrol pump for my model helis, not strong enough, so tried to syphon it and got **** loads of oil in my mouth, so decided to take oil filter off and now its perfect :D Thanks so much Trew, no matter how much hassle this has...

ok cool, just going to drain it, only problem is I don't have a socket that fits the drain, I have an adjustable but that obviously means I can't use the torque wrench. Granted this isn't gonna need much draining (me thinks) is there anywhere else I can get a small amount of oil out, as aside...

Evening guys, I noticed earlier that my engine oil wasn't even registering on the dip stick so I paniced and filled her up, checked, then filled again and obviously was heavy handed the second time. She is about 20mm over the H mark on the dipstick, ironically over the word DANGER. Should I...

Evening all, I have a few 40Ah 12v batteries, they are half the size of regular batteries and in my research into getting a second battery for my 90 I realise I want something like an 80Ah 12v leisure for my second battery. These are deep discharge high cyclic sealed lead acid batteries, and I...

Forgot to mention, after lots of ****ing around I managed to get it all wired up throught the bulkhead, got the relay mounted with the others behind the fusepanel and just waiting for more wire to get to the battery and its done :D
