After you fitted it did you ever check it to see if it actually worked? The Diff lock I mean.

For the zebra strip, I was thinking to myself this morning... can you use any zebra strip🤔 but then you have done🤔👍

Take it somewhere else. My local garage is a Land Rover specialist and they never do this to old Land Rovers when they MOT them.

don't forget the teeth sucking!!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Re the Facet, we discussed this a bit when you were having the fuel pump woes. I was thinking more of a flexi behind the engine just before the pump. You can always cut the metal pipe to put a flexi in, jubilee clips will hold it just fine. If...

DD likde a coupla posts recently. WL, hmm. New job etc?

Only used to hold 4 and a half gallons 🤔 😛😛

Hi everyone, I still have to unlock the brake calipers, change discs and pads and bleed, but since I have little time these days and the weather is bad, I took advantage to do some light work. On the advice of user @RobertZ , I checked the FIP...

I don't see why you can't simply make the brackets to fit the mattock head yourself, or have them made. If you have a vice it shouldn't be too hard to bend one using aluminium sheet. Get some cardboard(corn flake box or something similar) and...

Could be. Did it this morning so we'll see what happens this evening.

Not with 7 gallons of Shell's finest in it I can't. :D

Hi, Need some advice please for my D2 Td5. Yesterday I had my Uj go on front propshaft & sheared off, with luckily no other damage to underside. No problem I thought, i`ll remove prop & put it in diff lock & should get me home. I had previously...

This is the smart choice for London, you're saving a fortune on ULEZ bringing that down here instead. :) I'd rather spend the money on the fuel and drive that over a Transit any day. Good work sir.

Nobody a clue? :-(

Thnak You mine is a petrol 3L think its a 1976 model not quite sure got as a scrapy but engine still intact and it starts need to overhaul the fuel line from the tank right up to the carburetor

I am going to come out with the opposite view to the above. I have a 1.2 fitted to mine and it is great. However I will caveat that with a couple of things. I live in the midlands, not the Welsh or Scottish mountains, I have an early LT77 from a...

2 have been taken from her village in the last month.

Yes, the actual sill itself which bolts between the tub and the bulkhead is a piece of steel c-channel. you can get galvanised replacements (LINK). This is the part that the floor panel and seat box bolts along the threshold. It is then usually...

Nice one, thanks. will have a go tomorrow as today have many a chore for 0A...

In a similar line to @300bhp/ton some more information about your vehicle (engine, gearbox's, body type etc) and some pictures (everyone likes pictures) might help with recommendations. If it is as it left the factory the advice is very different...

If the vehicle is in top mechanical order then in terms of upgrades I would start with security. Make sure you have a good steering lock, and good pedal/clutch lock. You can fit window grills but I didn't bother as unless you fit them to all...

"DEF 90 has exhibited a strange overheating issue over the last year" - it causes this. You don't need a mechanic. Look at the sensor which is under the thermostat housing on the front left side of the engine. Buy the other colour unit, ie if...

Only a bolt holding the tank strap though and you can whip it out :)

From memory I think the subframe is in the way

It seems to me that the solution to Dan's dilemma is to find a period correct SU electric pump. The low pressure ones are designed to work with carburettors that have a float and needle valve, unlike many of the modern pumps that are intended to...

Maybe I can intercept the outlet pipe before the metal one under the car in the tunnel. :)

Keep your chin up Steve - progress is progress 😎 Deep bronze green?

Tank outlet in the boot and then should be a metal pipe running along under the car. Electric pump fine but watch pressure as it can overcome the float valve and flood.

This is true, but I think the outlet of the tank might be under the boot floor and I am not sure such a delicate part ought to be so exposed. But I will look to see if there is anywhere suitable. I am told others remove the mechanical pump and...
