If you take the water pump, power steering pump, just unbolt it and push to one side to make room and take the support bracket off you will get down to the p gasket. 2 second job to change. Didn’t take me too long to get down to it. Get a replacement from turners. It’s better than original. Give...

Hello mate. Good hard sharp tap with the spanner going clockwise to loosen. Maybe lever a piece of wood on one of the other pulleys to stop engine turning. 👍

Temp sender is a thermo resistor- need to match it to the engine. Put a new sensor in my 300 tdi and it went off scale. Old one back in just fine. Complicated beasts eh.

Engine crane…decent set of tools…Haynes manual…Land Rover forum to ask questions…good safety practices…careful sourcing of quality parts…bit of common sense…nothing you and your lad couldn’t do. I’d get stuck in if I were you guys…git some!

Naand Meneer, I used to have a 90 with this engine, what you describe is normal as far as my experience goes. They are smokey old lumps anyway. Blue smoke on start with mine would go away quick when the engine warmed up, going down hill same deal with a bit of smoke, wondered if a bit of oil got...

Euro car parts sell a OBDII scanner for under 20 quid...worked for me.

If you’ve got a bit of a Land Rover that’s working…just leave it 😂

Went back and looked at my old pump. the piston has about 3mm of play back and forward in it. Hate to say it but that loud ticking could be a head gasket. Your describing the same sound I had and the head gasket was blown at the back of number 4 cylinder. I put my hand round the head and could...

Thats funny, delivery guy that brought my rebuild stuff was there so often he knew more about land rovers than me...dude was even coming in for his coffee on a saturday.

Ok. I did mine when it was getting rebuilt so it was easy to fit. Even doing it to yours wouldn’t be the worst job in the world. Just a bit of a dig to get to it but the actual column out- new one in was no time at all and worth doing. I much prefer the old style wheel. I managed to find a...

Short ones were issued to infantry…long ones were on the motors.

Not bad. Chassis looks spotless bro.

If you want narrow I’m sure the Avon Traction Mileage would do your job.

I’ve just changed mine on my 300tdi. I had a hard brake pedal and braking was a bit dubious. No play on the old pump or new one and braking back to ‘normal’! Was your braking being affected. I got a new one from Turner’s.

It is quite short and yes it does lock, I only use this now at home and im very aware of the need to take it off if i go into public spaces, like the lads are saying it could be illegal under certain circumstances. Ive had it for a very long time and a bit of an heirloom to me now, old man gave...

Here you go mate, Buck Ranger 112 with finger grooves. Good piece of kit. Been a few places in life with me, stuck beside me when no woman ever did😂

Thought so. I have one too Good knifes, brown leather pouch for it. Old boy gave it to me when I was 10 years so I’ve had it for a fair old while. Your mate has a good bit of kit there. 👍

That a buck knife your mates got on his belt… looks like it…zoomed in on the knife and not his (nice) butt by the way

Hi, don’t know if this will help you much but here’s some info. My 98 90 had the same wheel as yours and was pretty done. I changed it to the older 4 spoke (36 spline) style wheel. To do so I had to change the steering column to get the wheel to fit. Think the old 4 spoke looks ok. It was only...

Yeah not bad. I did my 90 on a new chassis last year and changed very little except the doors. Changed them for lift up handle slidey window types. Much prefer them. Changed the steering wheel to the old 80’s type 4 spike as liked them too other than that it’s all original. Only other fancy...
