Now worries. Happy to help. Happy building

EsSEX way. ;)

I reckon, if it comes to it, I'll just buy one new. What bothers me in this plan is that, a while back, I mailed an eBay seller who's (complete) cage had gone unsold (id not seen it, else I'd have bought it). He told me he couldn't get rid of...

Well done. Never say die 👍

Depending on how good you are with a welder… get a kit form & build yourself. Now there are 2 ways. Front hoop across the front screen or up from footwell/bulkhead outrigger going rearward to the hoop behind the seats.then weld a straight tube...

Aha I remember now, big rubber grommet. Is it lhd in Canada? I think it is. There should be a bleed nipple in the top of the slave cylinder next to where the flexi pipe goes into it. You might be able to undo from inside the engine bay with...

Is there a grommet you can remove on the bulkhead/tunnel area to get to the slave?

Horn in location Uses these bolts to fix in place Looks like purple/black for the horn feed. Earth off the nut that hold the horn.

Hi all, Any help would be appreciated. I have a 2011 Freelander 2 which has a wooshing noise when accelerating and under load. It’s seems under powered and running rich at times. Idles rough especially when air con turned on. I have changed all...

Some photos: Turbo didn't look very well. Bellhousing, engine both soaked with oil. Head looks ok, scores in the bores !!! Looks like cylinder 1 and 2 have had a prolonged wash !!

stud extractor broken inside :mad: i wasn't straight. I tried to put water ...and of course big leak...so water pump removal work in progress... I will purchase tungsten drill to remove all this ...

Bread and cheese hill ? or the one on Essex way ?

Looks good. Had a shot at recovering tired door panels this afternoon. Looks to be quite a success.

Looking at the front.. Right hand side,attached to bonnet release slam panel,behind black grill. Held up by 6mm bolts. Feed is in the same loom as the lights/side light/indicator. You need a photo?

Made some forms to fit the headliner map recess similar to yours. Now waiting for the weather to cool a bit before doing the headlining. Board is already in the garage & cleaned up.

I know everyone (there is only eight houses on my road) will be suffering with damage to some degree but i guess some people just accept it.

It's all really comming together, and looking concours too 👍 I need to build a shed for the 109's parts, so I can get and restore them as I go. But my 300tdi farmy pick-up had me busy for some time rebuilding the front axle and putting new...

Sometimes in life, things don’t happen quite how you want them to. It is how people respond when this happens, that counts and from the PDF Jake attaches, he seems to be polite, and offers as much information as he can (in the snippet), offering...

Hi, fellow smoker. I also have a 19J. My problem is similar to yours. When I start it, it smokes a lot and I smell burnt oil. Once started, after a good acceleration, the bike cuts out and no longer smokes. Except when I go down a hill in gear...

I've tried to open it with Nanocom CSV viewer, but I got error message saying that "The file contains invalid characters"

hello. thanks for your interest. the smoke is white on blue. it comes out of the exhaust as soon as you start it up to the first acceleration, then i have a feeling as if the engine is uncorking, after which it stops smoking. except on descents...

The slave cylinder is vertical on the clutch bell housing right? But I'm having a hard time getting to the bleed nipple, which I assume is on it? Also in Canada, so it's fitted with a heater on the bulk head cabin side.

Maybe Itl improve kpg

... still keeping my eye out for one of these.

Sorry to bump this thread back up again but to help me make a decision on replacing the rear subframe, I have two follow up questions :- 1. Has anyone replaced their rear subframe and found the mounting points needed welding ? 2. Do the front...

Sounds like a poor idea to me.

Sorry, what do you mean, what are you trying to do bleed the clutch? All I did was release the bleed nipple and let it flow through, make sure the master cylinder stays full of fluid. Have you even located the slave cylinder?

Leave the bloody thing alone🤷😜

Yep, like vw and audi use aluminium bolts on small engine components like the water pump.... Money saving tactics 🤷
