Cheers! Everyday's a school day! Will have a go if it stop raining for more than 5 seconds today.

Aha sorry mate I'm replying to all these separately and they keep rolling in! Cheers for the replies! Aye, always been told opening a turbo is nearly last resort. Bushes defo could do with being replaced soon but was curious if that's what might cause the squeaking noise, or if I've got...

Ah Delphi actually rings a bell now you've said it. Think that's what I've got in. Makes sense RE the tank wash. Will have a think about that one.

Cheers Dag. Yes it's plastic so the worn lines are just an absence of crud than actual wear 😂 Not the easiest to do stuff like take my hubs to bits with my set up / toolset so will leave. Good to know the pads are decent quality then!

Thanks Lynall. As they're both doing the same thing, safe to assume its just how they were installed and it's not a cause for concern? Or should they be sitting squarer within the system and not rubbing like they are? Aye, she's been sat in the absolute ****ing rain for a couple of days and...

Hi all - got 4 qs hoping you can help with. 1996 Defender 90 300TDI. I've got a basic mechanical knowledge but limited tools / space to actually inspect and play around with stuff much so hoping you guys can do some keyboard Sherlocking for me. Thanks in advance 1. Brake wear 2.5 years ago...

Related point - anyone know why the same PN is sometimes suffixed but a D, and sometimes a G? Sounds really daft but 2 identical looking delphi pumps, one £20, one £34, both from known LR parts distributors, only difference is cost and D or G at the end of the PN. Don't want to buy the cheaper...

Brilliant, cheers mate

As the title says - looking for some recommendations please and thank you! Had a trying few weeks with break downs etc and fault finding, made a few threads about it. Long story short, fuelling issue due to lift pump was the culprit. It's royally fumbucked. Don't want to buy a cheap and nasty...

Just had a play around - parked out the wind and managed to start and get round to sniff the smoke before it went. Definitely a diesel-y smell to it. Have checked the oil filler cap, no mayo on there so thinking not an oil / coolant gasket leak. Timing-wise engine seems to be running...

Cheers for the reply tottot, I got to admit I hadn't thought insurance route as it might be difficult to prove. My mechanic said he'd had a jag in with the same issue who he thinks filled up at the same place as me. Engine & tank drained (I got it back will a gallon, just enough to shimmy down...

Hi all, another one for you. Apologies for length explaining this. Recently I filled up and trundled home, next time I took the old girl out she started absolutely fine, until about a little down the road where she lost power broke down. I made a post about this and got it sorted or so I...

Legend, cheers mate! Knew I wasn't quite right in the terminology / my understand of what's what!

Hi all, Another fun one. The old girl choked and started misfiring on a pootle to the shop this AM. Engine block was wet and first thought was head gasket / cracked head. Realised no water oil mix on removing the filler cap and realised wetness was actually diesel combined with filth from the...

Cheers for the reply saxa. I've got an N reg 90, so 1996 300 tdi. Yes it was working fine before the change of handle. In terms of it all fitting internally, it's all correctly aligned as far as I can tell. Seems to me, if the bolt is screwed too tight it is a pain to turn the key, but if I...

Hi all, about a month ago I had some scrote try to rob my landy; https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/attempted-theft-now-need-new-door-handle.377616/#post-5324198 After a bit of going round the houses figuring out if I'd ordered the wrong replacement, an angle grinder on the spring button...

Cheers mate - fingers crossed it won't be necessary for you!

Thanks slomofo, will see if any are suitable
