    Any tips on gettin me propshaft bolts undone?

    I put a full set of new 9/16" ones when I did my props last summer. The old bolts are perfect for spring seat retainers when you shear them off trying to change yer springs ;)

    LR V8 help me!

    Aye, GEMS v Lucas Hotwire v Flapper airflow meters v twin 1 3/4" SU's would be a ggod un. The May edition of LRE went into detail about the casting process of the blocks and heads and how crap the LR manufacturing was as they weren't too fussed about the positional centres of the bores, which...

    Any tips on gettin me propshaft bolts undone?

    Reet, you want flat spanners, quite slim profile - I've got a little stumpy Britool one that you stick on the nut - might require some persuasion with the universal persuasion tool. Thin flat 14mm ring on the bolt and turn the bolt - yes, I said turn the bolt. If the other end of the prop is...

    Newbie (LR wannabe) seeks urgent help!

    Disco 200TDi has same power output as Defender 300TDi (slightly tuned down the engines in the Def.), has an LT77 gearbox instead of R380, a little bit rougher round the edges, and you need a Steve Parker downpipe to mate the exhaust to the turbo - Defs have turbo on top, Discos have it on bottom.

    Newbie (LR wannabe) seeks urgent help!

    I know a lovely black 110 up for sale next month. Had a full rebuild 2 years ago by Ray at 4xfortyone - was originally ex-army 110, but not frontline vehicle so still had 4 doors. Disco 200TDi engine, drives sweet as a nut, but a surplus of Landies is forcing my mate to sell it (his wifes...

    I would like to Vouch for REDEX!!

    Using LPG, prefer Morrisons to Shell as it seems to give slightly better mileage. Putting expensive stuff in, I use Shell Optimax or Sainsburys superplus unleaded (98 Octane).

    I would like to Vouch for REDEX!!

    Once you've cleaned yer diesel injectors, use a bit of Millers Oils Cetane booster/injector cleaner in every tank. Works out at adding an extra 3p per litre (so what) but cracks off without glow plugs first time every time, runs better and gives better economy. I use that in me Deepender 200...

    V8 out of sorts!

    Not too much of a job - a full weekend if it doesn't rain/Doris needs to go shopping etc. While your at it, I would check your rockers and tappets at the same time as these will be due for changing as well. Tappets are not expensive and you can get a full kit including various shime, it's just...

    RRC Body Panels

    Haven't got my RAVE disk to hand, but roughly speaking, what is the procedure for removing the rear body panels on an RRC, specifically to check for tinworm around the inner arches. Any special tools/adhesives/fasteners required? TIA

    Buying a Disco

    £4.5k for a Disco ES W reg - get yer bumps felt. I walked away from a really tidy LPG converted W reg at £3.2 as I was gettin me eye wiped. If you go for a Disco V8, make sure it's very low mileage or LPG converted, and don't pay over £3, save the rest for repairs.
