Ta mate, so do we! ;)

Lovely, least it's out of the way there rather than going round the box with the oil.....

Ha! Thanks for that warning! I got a pretty sharp jolt since last posting so I guess that means the coil is working! That'll teach me to hold the HT lead near the plug! I looked again at the seating of the dizzy and the lugs are offset...

Because life is complicated (and expensive) the gearbox is out ... and am stipping it down. Look at the crap under the gear levers ... :oops:

Got the GBox out today ... here's a pic of the bell interface. Deffo got some form of sealant.

You never know your luck.

It will installed on a few laptops already. This has been tested before.

I'm afraid I don't have the time to waste, they won't do anything about it I will just loose time and money on the phone or writing e-mails. If anyone wants to try on my behalf knock yourself out.

Thanks Kermit, So it should be possible to fit the dizzy both ways - mine won't seat when turned. This design of electronic dizzy has two wires coming from it, a red that goes to positive terminal and a black that goes to negative. And the...

Cheers bud I did exactly as described and now it’s just purrs

Afternoon looking at the neighbours 2004 Hippo I decided to take it for a run and applied the handbrake. Came back after filling up and saw the brake light on the dash was on. Got home filled it up with 250ml ish of brake fluid pumped the...

I hope you both get better really soon. :)

Happy Saturday all, Mine's not so happy. I have been having running problems with my '75 2.3 petrol. It would run well for a while but then die when it got hot. It would then be fine again when it had been sitting for a while. As per advice...

Mine broke last bank holiday Friday. I wouldn’t have known except for the oil leaking out! The wheel was a little crooked but the “fix” from the recall did what it was meant to. It stopped it falling off completely!

No, I didn’t see any point. If they were going to do anything surely they would have replaced the axle at the recall!

Been chasing down my random mislock issue since i fitted the cage. First thought i must have nicked a cable somewhere... Nope, turns out just plugged the side repeater into the horn 😅 Just swapping that side repeater has solved all the...

If the battery monitor was any good, it would have figured out the battery was new !!

Or this. . . look at post #6 https://www.rangerovers.net/threads/no-dab-signal-any-way-to-test-module.343037/ Lots of people with same problem...

The defender is 1994. Won't be able to get photo of dash until tomorrow.

What type/year of defender do you have ? Can you post a picture of the dash ?

I've just bought my first defender. When I apply the handbrake both the handbrake warning light and brake warning light comes on. Is this normal or should it just be the handbrake warning light

Feeling very ropey at the mo, the pair of us. W seems to have a bad cold or a wee case of flu, I have symptoms which are different in that nothing is a problem in the ENT dept but still have the chills and the sweats, aching knees, fatigue, etc...

totally agree, whatever you fancy to moisten it. Even the fat from the pan you just fried it in and flip the healthy brigade. Personal choice, butter.;)

Just had bacon in briwn bread. It were a bit dry. Hence not remembering if yer put butter on the bread or not. Fergottid to look at the answers on ere before cookering it. Eye dun't do spicy foods so dun't like mustard.

It would have been interesting to see what Land Rover had to say since the failure is part of a recall. Did you speak to them?

If I'm reading this right, it could just be the springs are failing or you might need to get a replacement. Link to springs...

Hit a pot hole the other day avoiding an idiot on my side of the road. When I got to work I noticed oil dripping from the end of the axle. What I had thought was a weep from the eyeball seal recently was obviously a crack in the axle itself! The...
