Hi all new to the forum,I’ve been gathering parts for the puma forward facing rear seats in my 90,does anyone know of anywhere that does the seat belt brackets that fit under the wheel arch for reasonable money,the ones I’ve seen are around £300...

different screen from yours but merged some hopehelpfull ive it uploads it wont except it but got pics to follow

Amazing, thank you

Well……I found the rattle. It was a strange noise, more like two pieces of sheet metal contacting each other rather than a heavy clatter. Anyway….the rattle came from the n/s front. By sheer luck I noticed that the shock absorber had no threads...

+1 to (most) of the above half decent bucket looking at 10-12k for fair deal. It’s a RR so it’s gonna have something on the to do list. I’m a diesel guy but when it comes to Classics it’d be the VM if available everytime

Cheers will give that a try

They were in mine from new so after 30 yrs they don’t budge you just slot them in as if they were magnetic or stuck by magic

Help, I am having an absolute nightmare with the drum brakes on my series 3. I noticed the front left hand wheel cylinder was leaking badly so decided to replace both fronts and the flexis while I was at it. All done and then I couldn't get it to...

That looks like a chafer beetle. They lay loads of eggs in grass and the grubs destroy the roots, ruins lawns. Took me a few years to get rid of them here and get the grass back into condition.

Do it in stages. Put it in the hall. Then move it again morra.

You read the Ah Eye generated instructions on solving the "Please Ignore" issue with Freelanders.

Yes, I feel the OP has acted very irresponsibly in hyjacking a technical forum with his trash thread. He should hang his head in shame. However, I hope our mighty leader does not shift this thread to AG, as it will descend into AG level of...

Hi all, I have a 1999 discovery 2 automatic The vehicle will not start, I have replaced the tank pump and various other bits, new internal and external fuse boards, new bcm and coded, the vehicle turns over, no lights on the dash but will not...

They take up the space at the sides behind the wheel arches when you have the ridged boot liner, so not fixed in place.

Couldn't agree more, would match the Blue Coolant lines too!!

50th Anniversary blue is essential.

Yeah, definitely my plan, it seems that the one I have found does 3 sets of flares, SAE, DIN and DUAL which is apparently a flare that can work with both almost "universally" I will be sure to ask them about it and report back. Will also update...

Thanks yes. Agree, ill have a go tomorrow afternoon and see.if i can drive a tappered drift through to raise the paul, if i can do that ill make a tubular tapered tool with a split in to feed through in front if the cable shaft to get it back...

No idea ! Depends who makes them and what you ask for I guess. Safest is to contact a supplier and either buy some or ask them for the threads. Maybe you can specify threads and keep them the same as the rest ofnthe vehicle ??

Thanks guys for all the advice....turns out the lock was siezed and so was the replacement,actuator was trying to work but couldnt 🤬 good lock with only 75k on it and all is working great

There is a mechanical lock that prevents the pull going back in until the key is turned to the on position. Perhaps because it came out to far [ location screw lost perhaps] the lock pawl is now in the way for the pull shaft to go back in. I...

Most folk are 85 round here, but I get your point.

I heard this forum had gone downhill and it kinds of shows here used to be people tried to help each other or have a crack now it's just kids. Such a shame

And as I've already said if your older than 20 you will remember when you couldn't even give then away

Not really kid, breakers used to give them away for 50 quid everyone wanted diesel hence all the perkins, Jap and tdi conversions. You were probably messing around with fisher price toys back then

Two days ago I replaced my last two injectors with low milage used units... smoking has reduced drastically, and my power has returned quite a bit. Having said that, and accepting that at least one of my remaining injectors was probably faulty...

Similar issue with rear door on D2, it was the plastic clip that holds the actuator rod.

You don’t need to do a course. As long as you have a methodical way of taking things apart & can weld you will be good. Have a look through of the threads where people have rebuilt these & you will see what’s involved. Good luck & enjoy.
