Thank's for the link but mine's a 300tdi. I spent a long time watching videos andb learning how to do this mod which would give me a bit more power, thought carefully about anything I did. I know all the possible fitfalls and what can be done...

I have recently re-trimmed my RHD 1999 90 seats with Exmoor Trim covers and all went well, except for the passenger front seat back keeps falling forward. I have removed the seat & frame, and it would appear that this is caused by the main spring...

Ooh ooh I want the teddy bear

Today could be expensive….

Our 2a had a mesh on the filler neck, mind you it was so coarse even small twigs could get through it!

I think the logic is if they can stand paint/thinners then fuel should not be an issue. Lots of trucks also have a plastic mesh widget on the bottom of the standpipe.

Good shout, I’m looking at pressure washer filters too. Doesn’t need to filter down to microns, just something to keep the flaky crap out!

Mine was done 18 months ago and level has barely moved

Think series diesel had them on the end of the standpipe. Believe spray gun filters fit?

Very rarely, infact I never have. Really you should be looking at changing it every couple of years or so..

Sounds like a drip somewhere as the level should only drop if the pads are getting worn and the pistons are all further out which should take longer than 3000 miles

It does seem like strange logic for one to have a filter and the other doesn't.

You’re right, diesels weren’t fitted with them and early petrols were. Seems a bit daft not having one - the last lift pump I changed had a load of crap inside that was causing intermittent fuel supply issues. The one I have looked at getting is...

That reminds me, need to top up the brake fluid. Does anyone know how regularly brake fluid should need to be being topped up? I’m about a month and 3k miles in and am needing to top up again. Would that indicate a leak somewhere or is that...

There is nothing on the Ninety, I'm not sure they actually had them. Maybe the petrol version had one?

Yup normal. Took the balancer off the front, got some flat bar, rotated the crank till 2 of the bolts where vertical (had to turn the steering full left), marked the bar, drilled 2 holes. Made a cut out for the crank bolt. Bolted the bar onto...

Todays job list: - Swap out front prop shaft for new - Top up fluids - Swap out front speakers for new set from Amazon which should arrive midday 🤞🏻

Do they want to buy a Freelander snorl?

Now that might be a very useful post if Huf stop supplying replacement keys and Les from Classic Rides North Wales pops his clogs.

I don't think I would want anything spoiling that mating surface from being as tight as possible. Think of the pressure when that gas mixture ignites and how long a bit of sealant might last against those hot gases burning. The valley gasket or...

Morning All. :D Cool out there on the paper run. :) Just made my first Coffee. :) Ginger-Whinger cat is pestering for more food. :) Have a lovely day. :D

Same again. Nothing on the way home. Bizarre!

WTF?! To get the L405?

It’s very sticky and seems mega water resistant, I used it on my old mustang to stick on a news set of door seals. It’s pretty removable too, I had to take the seals off to put in a new windscreen and they cut off through the tiger seal quite...

It doe's sound like there is a lot of "slop" in the system. Can you move arm by hand to full sweep and usual park position? If so there can be issues with location of arm on its spindle or with the drive cable itself. Also can be problem with...

Yes, I considered that, but that leaves the arc with same sweep. I need to widen the arc so it wipes more of the screen both ways. I am guessing this is a wiper gearbox issue. Pete

Well done

Ever thought that perhaps that’s all they could afford… 🙄
