She's been a pain for years and years and the council will do nothing about it. Everyone I know avoids Standon ford. It's not worth the hassle. Plenty of other fords in the area, even if they are shorter.

It's not supposed to go through the hole in the outrigger with the steps fitted. How you've got it is correct. The hole is where the splash guards bolt to when steps aren't fitted though.

Undo that jubilee clip and put the pipe going to the radiator onto the other pipe.

I wanted to but the D2 is currently parked over a puddle of gearbox oil on my drive. If the new pipe turns up before Saturday lunchtime then it might be doable, but otherwise it's not happening.

The pipe in your hand is the one that's supposed to go the radiator. The other pipe is the one that's supposed to point down. I'm not sure if them being the wrong way around makes any difference though.

The flange on the front of the cam has indicators for when each the injector lobe for each cylinder is at full lift. There's a picture here: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/injector-timing-marks.203615/ RAVE doesn't mention them as part of the procedure for adjusting the injector...

It is the bracket for the side step. Those probably haven't been available on their own new for years but the part numbers are here: https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/parts/index/part/id/14.55780.56174.59670/brand/land-rover/

Absolutely. I'm not saying he shouldn't go and look, or even that he shouldn't buy it, just that he shouldn't pay £3500 for it.

Yeah but those advisories mean there's welding needed in 2 places sooner rather than later. The rear arch is easy access for welding, around the brake servo probably less so. It's not a £3500 car, especially with those advisories.

Getting the injector timing right when refitting is important too - use the timing indicators on the cam rather than eyeballing it.

As long as you've capped the connection on the pipe from the vacuum pump to the brake booster then yes.

You need to blank the connection in the middle of the vacuum pipe that goes to the solenoid, then you can unplug it and remove it if you want.

It's fine without the top nut, a lot of people leave it off.

I normally avoid pay & play but going with other people who don't want to go mental is tempting. I'm up for this if the D2 doesn't break when I'm out laning the weekend before. I know a Shropshire route that's non-damaging, optionally via a pub for lunch. Possibly a Warks route too but I've not...

Latest update from the FB group is that the issue causing it to be down is being looked at currently.
