I would have said start with the basics and get your wheels balanced. I had a vibration that was doing my head in and I couldn't figure it out. I'd had my wheels balanced when I fitted new tyres so said no it's not that. Turned out it was and that garage was just ****, got them balanced at a...

A local garage should be able to make one up for you fairly cheaply. I looked at buying one of those before incase I had to replace it and they're bloody silly money for a length of pipe

It doesn't, the R380 switch is wound in all the way for it to work. He's probably just got a stuck switch, something simple to fix

What gearbox is it? As far as I remember the LT77 has a reverse switch you can screw out and adjust with a lock nut, the R380 is one you just screw in all the way. I'd just replace it, they're not expensive at all

Wai is a well known manufacturer that do predominantly make starter motors and alternators etc... I've had a few items made by them and never had an issue.

You can get a starter off ebay for a lot less. 200 quid for a good quality Wai one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-WAI-Starter-Motor-for-Land-Rover-110-12J-2-5-Litre-01-1985-09-1990-/124563604366?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

That's a lot of wiring :|

Either that or try Gemm 4x4 in Larbert, they used to be really good and do parts and spares as well as have a landy scrapyard which had served me well over the years. Haven't been to them in a long time but the owner George is always really helpful

Gravity bleeding is a bit fiddly to get the hang of but once you do you'll never go back to bleeding the clutch the old fashioned way again

I've shared these before but they're great videos. I followed exactly what he did and my clutch is perfect

Well for some reason it's not letting me post an amazon link but there's one on there that suits what you're after. It's 12.99

Ah the actual clamp that stops the battery moving? Just get some smaller threaded rods, or raise the battery up on something. I've never had mine clamped down and it's never been a problem but then it is huge and weighs a ton so it's unlikely to go anywhere

What size are your current clamps? Here's the sizes for the Red Tops terminals. You may just have to fit a new cable which isn't difficult, either that or cut yours, unsheath the wire and use this https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/positive-battery-terminal-clamp-with-dual-cable-clamps.html

Engine 710 are meant to be really good, out by South Queensferry, either that or Gibsons Autos in Ayr. Both will definitely be able to help and I can vouch for Gibsons but I don't know what the cost will be

Are the hinges gone already?

I'd be dubious. 5 years of very light use then fair enough, the tyres should still be OK. 5 years of lying in a barn I can't see them being in the best condition. Definitely not worth 700 quid

Calm down sunshine I'm only trying to help. I prefer to stick to basics and from what you've said Id be looking at the turbo being at fault. Did you rebuild it yourself?

Lol. Every time I see posts about people saying their 300tdi is smoking a lot and is low on power its cos they've messed around with the FiP. I know you can get more out of them but only so much, itll never go like a rocket and the more you fiddle the more chance of messing things up

So back to standard like I told him
