Probably more bother than it's worth, increasing your cooling system to cope, a new head gasket to lower the compression if available, the turbo system if available and exhaust system. In all honesty a fortune. As said already above better probably to get another landie that's rotten and...

If it were me I would just clean them up and paint them with some hamerite.

Any good quality semi synthetic to be honest, the engines on these tend to blow up with alarming regularity so make sure the oil is kept clean and that there is plenty antifreeze in it.

At least that one that's spinning anyway, the other wont because the drive is lost inside the diff

Heat the exhaust bit cherry red and then cool it quick with water, hose/bucket, this fooks up its molicules and it will come out, but work the coont back and forwards don't commit to "come out yah bastid" or it will snap off. You need to be careful screwing it out red hot coz it might pull...

Went through all the fault codes and can't see any that say anything about 5 volts, "faulty heater circuit, high voltage, low voltage" etc. Once you have the proper code you can investigate the reasons for that failure with a meter. Been down this route before with coonts that tell you ****.

I normally cut the plug off them to get a good socket or ring key on them, might have to heat them though, but don't go mad and snap the coonts in. The 5 volts reading is strange though, they work by heating up metal plates and then reading the resistance of the flow of gas over the plates...

I wish they always broke at the hub end, personally never done one that has though. All the ones I have done on trucks have broken at the diff end and got stuck in the diff. The energy that broke the shaft can twist the shaft a little making it stick in the splines anorl. But be optimistic it...

Lift a wheel and spin one at a time, you will know what one is broke, but the diff is gona have to come out to get the coont out.

From what I have seen the piston has to come out, the boot is slid over the piston and then the boot is located in the grove in the caliper, you then fook about for ages trying to get the piston back in without tearing any of the seals, sliding it through the boot and hopefully the boot locks...

Only because you say you cant and will never learn that way. It would surprise you the fun you would have fabricating a set, a learning curve. If you are gona go off road then you need to learn DIY.

Do the diy stores not do that stuff with the foil on it.

I made a set out of box section and flat plate, should be a photo of them on here somewhere. Cost next to fokal, keeps the mot guy away from the sills coz they are covered with 4mm plate and gives good protection and something to jack and stand on. Fixed them by drilling through both outer and...

It must have drawn in all the ****e when you ran out, so you changed the filter and fuel pump because it was slugish, and now it wont go properly. It sounds like it has fuel starvation, make sure the lift pump is lifting the fuel and that the pump is not one of them that has the inlet and...

Simples just connect up under the bonnet, one jump lead to the engine block and the other to the live on the starter or alternator. If its the alternator you use open the boot and connect up there after dont start it from that. Ok to start from the starter main though.

Are you talking about a lift pump and not the injection pump, if it aint any of the pipes then replace it, sure the ac cable aint chaffed through the pipe. Job for a clean off, torch and mirror.

I always heat the coonts up to fook cool them down quick and then off they come. If you try and take them off red hot they tend to take the threads with them. If they are gona break cut the down pipe and take the manafold off rather than sheer a stud, bash fook out of the nut and it will shock...

Loads of white smoke is unburnt fuel, low compression or timing retarded as mentioned above. Black smoke is overfueling or lack of air, blocked air filter.

These engines start without heat no problems, stick a new fuel filter on it and make sure the fuel aint running back. Also make sure the engine stop valve aint sticking since its been laying for ages, or the lift pump has died.

Has the arse not fallen out of it with the old rust bug.
