Sorry to hear about your tumor, hope you get that fixed.

How short a range? As in what sort of annual milage? If you aren't doing many miles, then a V8 may not cost all that much more to run. And would open up a lot of choice. I'd also say keep an eye out for the 2.5 VM ones. The VM unit is more...

That's a good move if you do a lot of swimming 🤭

Hi, Can anyone assist please? Either a contact in LR dealer or some other method. Have a good CD Radio from a scrap car, have the registration number but need the radio code. Local dealer to me used to give them out but they want paperwork...

Thank you yes it is great news

Definitely needs more investigation. You must be the only one with a P38 EAS pump that can produce that much pressure.

ALLO ALLO, I will say this one more time. You are trying like many before you to get an old at least 40 years gauge along with its equally old wiring and regulator to be accurate. If it does happen it will be just pot luck and will not last as...

I like your stud ... 40mm sounds about right, i'm not near mine to measure at the moment. What colour drive is a question and a half. I fitted a blue one, tried a red one and then bought a silly expensive yellow one ... only one I haven't tried...

So, a new Lucas temperature sender arrived today. Fitted. After several miles, the dashboard reads above the cold yet below the N. It took a good 10 mins to register anything and subsequently took a long time to settle in the lower quarter and...

Well, it’s happened again, this time from the cylinder head end, last time from the FPR. The diesel slick behind and the diesel stink made me think something may be wrong!! Luckily I was only a road from home and just got into the drive. The...

They rot in the same places as a disco. Hard to find a nice RRC that has not been butchered. Saw 1 the other week pushed out of a bush make £5k no engine or box(was a 2door but still rotten)

Definitely P38 and 2001 I started to doubt the pressure gauges but I went to the guy and checked, everything is correct. This explains why the pump had to be repaired so often. In the end, I put a non-original ring on the pump, which I took from...

I don’t know ☹️ but if thats that what LR call auxiliary drive belt tensioner securing nut, then its 45Nm.

Great news!

Yep Turns out the new hose was not reinforced, so it expanded then contracted every time. This caused a small hole to get bigger and bigger until it ended in a slit about 21/2 inches long and hence the wheezy noise

Sorry, done that now. Best regards

There's always something, just when you think you are done. When I started To clean up the parts, I ran a plug tap of the various sizes through the various holes. This is Standard practice on old Renaults as they are M7 fine pitch and easy to...

Trying to keep those cars on the road. At the moment BCU problem and chassie rust. Best Regards

thank you buddy, I think I just needed reassuring as I can't picture how it could be wired incorrectly either it was just playing on my mind!! well I've got a new one coming in the next few days so I'll report back, and yeah I think I did luck...

8 The Thatcham security grade of the existing security system will tell you if the vehicle was fitted with an immobiliser system when it left the factory (Google Thatcham) And It will depend on the the immobiliser is active or passive, if...

Diddle you say not long back you could hear a wheezy sound?

Today I did the massive long job of cracking off the big nut on one of my rear trailing arms... I thought I'd see how tight it was as the front bush is well past its best and needs replaced. It turns out the answer is not that tight...

You got some balls 😂 you and Dopey. Do you remember way back the guy that moved the becm to overhead?

Okay so sump off and check crankshaft for damage taking one main crank cap of at a time and then replacing they have stamped numbers on 1 to 5 the only one that was damaged was No 3 where the crank main bearings had spun but managed to get...

Thanks for that will try swapping over tomorrow and test again

I don't have a Landy with a DPF, but I'm very familiar with them from other cars... So as lynall says above, it will be because of something else either failing or not happening. The typical issue you see is people driving around with the fuel...

I do not envy you one bit we watch UK news here my hart sinks every day getting to the point to stop watching it to depressing 😩😩

THAY soon mark the paint if not washed of , good job it hasn't been feasting on elderberry

The only crime lately over here was a rabbit got in the veg patch and scoffed 6 carrots, justice was swift

Best put bars on your Windows, 😦😦
