I don’t if he clean it but I’m pretty sure my freelander is leaking oil from underneath

Just my luck. I did think the voltage flying about like that was a bit odd I’m popping this here for future reference: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/2002-2005-l322-4-4-v8-alternator-replacement.298304/ I wonder if the smell i thought...

Has it had a head gasket replaced recently, and its contamination that wasn’t cleaned out at the time?

When I took my Kit car club members to Normandy, we had break downs. One chap boiled up so regularly I awarded him the "kettle award" at our Christmas do! Another's clutch cable broke. "No problem", says he, "I have a spare". Well he did, but...

The engine is changed in 2018 the engine the new engine came from UK with 60k kilometres and brand new head gasket

l think you're right. The only Ineos Grenadier classed as "Commercial" with HMRC is the two seat version. l don't think the Puma 110 Utility (5 seat) is classed as a "van" by HMRC l would have to just keep it as a private vehicle and charge the...

The oil cap is clean but the water bottle have this thinks

That's a new one on me, I've just bought a pair of General Grabbers for the back while I have Goodyear all terrains on the front. Oh well!! Thort it was only yellow vests for front bench. BUT if you have to wear glasses you do need to have a...

If its still got the original inlet manifold gasket, that can leak oil into water

Next, I should have spent the time fitting the two alpine windows, but as the rear body upper sides have been sitting here for a while, I thought that I would move on to them instead. If I fit them on the Landy, then they are less likely to get...

And the little word? Et le petit mot? ;);)

help anyone?

Sounds like the alternator is gone which was causing the squealing

After sorting this out, I gathered all the fixings and loosely bolted the tropical roof skin on. The rivet holes lined up well so that was a good sign. I used some aluminium aircraft spec pop rivets to replace the originals. The eagle eyed ones...

Were they not jelly moulds? I have no idea!! OK flip it, I'm gonna look it up! Appaz they were used for both as well as creams and ices. 🤣 🤣 🤣

It's great isn't it.

I had the roof prepped and painted in the original white before Christmas and hadn’t been able to do anything with it until now. When I stripped the tropical roof skin off, I found some of the spacers that give you the gap between the two roofs...

Hi Folks, apologies for the lack of updates. Hope you have all been okay. Been really busy with life and all its up and downs! I’ve also spent far too much and money time on building a garden room in my back garden for the kids. Now that’s done...

The old Victorian copper trifle moulds give it away

Blancmange. Which is hilarious as "blanc" is French for "white" and "mange" which is part of the verb "manger" = "to eat"!! I have no idea how this came about without Googleing it!! 🤣🤣🤣

Hardly 70s, seeing as how they were originally invented in the 1500s odd but came to prominence in the 1700s. We had them when I was a kid in the 50s. But they did do something with Birds instant whip, sprinkles etc. 🤣 🤣 🤣

And a ber-monge. Can't spellit even when askin goo gle fer help.

Worrabout a trifle.

Sadly this looks like oil and engine fumes contaminating the coolant. Best to get compression test and / or a 'sniffer' test where a chemical held over the header tank can show engine fumes in the coolant. Suspect head gasket is failing.

Oh my gawd no! Far more sophisticated than that!!! Salad in aspic. Blue Lagoon. Crepe suzette Etc etc, much served out of a hostess trolley. One of the things was a bloke showing how an Irish coffee was made. Which of course I made regularly in...

Think there’s some adjustment in the latch position so should be ok, probably first bonnet the striker rusted off it’s original position and then bodged

After disassembly and inspection, the hose seems to be in good condition. However, I wonder if the hose between "PMK100130 | Valve - Waste Gate" and the hose was properly connected. I reassembled everything properly this evening and will do a...

Hello all, my original bonnet from a '79 88" has a framework that is almost non existent so I bought a 2nd hand one that is a bit better. However on closer inspection I noticed that the 'striker' is fixed differently. Both are 'Deluxe' with the...

Bet thay had the mandatory prawn cocktail and pineapple and cheese on sticks ?

*possible silly question* So the L322 has been running beautifully, everything was nice and lovely. And then I started to get a squealing from the aux belt (I assume) especially when cold. Was considering replacing but noticed that I was...
