If thay is 20yrs old I would say thay are past the sell by date and you will soon be p------g plastic 😯😯

Just start at one end of the vehicle undoing anything going from the body to chassis. Take your time and you will be fine. You have pretty much done the rear end before. You will need someone to degas the air-conditioning, it's illegal to vent...

Readliy available for anyone to buy the suitable bit to remove them.

thanks for that appreciated, can i get at these if i unscrew the centre dash and pull it up a bit, so theres no interlock with the ignition on the diesel, just these two grubb screws, thanks brian

I took the plunge today and took the FL1 to have the codes read. The prob I've got is that after fitting a replacement clutch I had the 3 amigos :( Managed to get 2 of them to 'go' but was left with the yellow HDC lamp on. I've recently replaced...

I already have torx bit fittings

Dont tell me what to do............

While a joint is ok, I'm not sure a reputable garage would use one. By the time the joint was made a complete pipe could be installed. A pain on axle stands to get in but probably easier on a ramp.

for the price of a rocker gasket change it and find out

There are two small grub screws holding it in, one holds the sheath from the back and another holds or acts as a guide on the bit you pull.

With everyone ignoring it this is the thread to finally come out of the closet to.

Help needed 1974 landrover 88 series 3 diesel.i stopped the engine with the pull cable and its come out of the barrel location linked to steering lock. I cant get it back in .ive tried rotation of the key and disconnecting the battery. But there...

Several times. But it only appears after a run. I want to believe it's the rocker gasket, but I can't find any oil ABOVE the plug well so far.

I wondered, but I am always very careful, and I had the "leak" without pulling the stick.

They is plastic cups which hold 500ml. Got about 10 from sainsberrys near 20 years ago. Logical fing would be to change to glass. Me pipes were lead and water contamination were high enuff to taste. Running the tap cleared it but water standing...

http://www.discovery2.co.uk/Oil_pump_bolt.html Hi Stanleysteamer please paste this into your search bar it gives you all the info you need on replacing bolt and gasket. When you have removed the sump you will notice toward the rear there is a...

It is a HIF44 SU carb. I am willing to believe it's the HG, but I cannot track the oil down from there so far. If it was a cracked head etc I would expect other symptoms too. No blue smoke or steam either, but the radiator was a bit low when I...

Well, it is a bit liking posting on here with “don’t ask me how I know”…

Morning All. :D Supposed to be a scorcher today, but no signs of that yet. :) Our "free" day except for feeding sons cats, and getting HIS kids from the school. Have a good day. :D

It could end up being the longest running thread on the site...

Loving these warmer lighter evenings. Did a quick service on the RR last night, (Oil, Air, Pollen, Fuel filters). MOT today and then this weekend will be new discs and pads all round, parking brake shoes, rear shocks, transfer box and diff...

I should hope you do.

Maybe go to ornery porcelain or china ones then. We take glasses of water to bed with us, just use a drink mat on top of the bedside cabinet to not damage the surface. But if we ever have drinks down by the pool we have a massive set of all...

replaced the daughters( originally mine ) jointed under chassis rail but you will have to remove and cap pipes at ABS pump ( two different sizes but they are marked RL & RR on pump housing )and drain them as the flaring tool will not grip the...

Nope

Is there a special reason why you use plastic ones?

Mornin all, up but not quite as early as we wanted. Tis V hot already, I am dreading going out and working in it. Also cannot find my hedgetrimmer, yet. Yessdi sweat got in my eyes, a lot. I rinsed them in salty water then in non-salty water...

Photos of before and after would be helpful. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply Andy, it is indeed the bit in the wheel arch that has rotted. I'll update when sorted in case it may help someone later.
