So plug the hole. Let the pipe hang down and try replicate my circumstances to see if the issue is persistent. I'll also try get hold of new orignal filter for oil breather

Installed Temu dashcam, not bad for 27 quid, got rear camera as well, not read the instructions yet either 😃

Yep, seen the listing, quite a reasonable price too ;)

Also on the perished hoses... I still have hard lines running down the chassis but I know some of the rubber hoses need replacing, to be fair maybe the tank does too as theres a good amount of debris caught in the filter. It could be a case of...

I was trying to avoid a rebuild as the carb itself has been on the Landy less than a year... I can see it has '21' in the casting so its not that old either. The one thing I haven't checked with the carb is the float level needle valve though...

Yes. Or for the protection of certain wild birds. Hence the slightly tongue-in-cheek “stick some rape or fruit tress next to it”. 🙄

I'm sure they need to be damaging to crops to do that.

Yeah I checked it, it had the upgrade mod on it I've replaced rhe rubber seal in tip of cap. I did have a crack in the lid of the rubber seal side but I glued it back for now. That's what I seem to also come back too tho it got be sucking hard...

Smashing - really appreciate the tip and your input. But hopefully I won't be in the market for starter motors for a while ;o)

I have done a lot of that and I empty my inbox etc regularly as I do my spam folder and deleted folder. It isn't just slow it simply isn't downloading new messages at all nor is it letting me send messages. Yet I can read the new ones on my...

That's a cheapy random aftermarket one then. I paid £160 for a Denso a couple of years ago, £180 seems the cheapest price now.

No it hasn't. 😠

I am now reduced to talking to you on my old phone 🙄

I could give you pounds shillings and pfennigs if my blasted pooter wasnt playing up. But basically we are currently paying in £138 odd to Octopus per month for both gas and electric similar to last year. So times that by 6. 😉

Try to find a Denso next time ... They really are buy-well-buy-once .... https://www.lrdirect.com/nad101240-starter-motor-td5 https://www.turnerengineering.co.uk/products/nad10240-starter-motor

Oh the brand! Fahren I think? I've thrown the box away. It was about 100quid.

The RAVE manual doesn't mention using an adapter sleeve.

I've got the specialty tool for removing the pump. But! Before I commit, how does the tool hold the sprocket central after the pumps tapered shaft is removed? There seems to be space around the tool within the tensioner sleeve, so that can be...

Did you ever find the resolve to this. I'm currently the same. Not all time but some reason doing 2k slightly pressing pedal you get a chuffing and juddering from engine and what best describe is grey smoke. Just as you describe above image...

I have repaired both mine and my son's FPR with success. I replaced my starter with a Denso unit when it needed replacing

Hmm, yes, it just played up for me. Their landing page is here, or just go to eurosubframes.com https://eurosubframes.com/pages/product-result

Did the starter come in a Blue box (Powerlite) or was it a Bosch or Denso ? Another clue would be the cost ... how much was it ?

Neither - replaced it with a brand new OEM part. I’m a buy-well-buy-once guy. Same with the starter. Not sure where the starter actually came from, as I sourced it through my local garage.

The short bellhousing can be fitted to the 2.5 N/A, 2.5 petrol and the 200 TDI engines, anywhere the 4 Cyl LT77 is standard so that an R380 gearbox can be fitted. All of the other bits are also for the R380 (or at least will fit between the...

Pretty certain all LRs have that built into their DNA!

Extreme 4x4 shocks and HD lowered springs fitted to the front with galv spring plates and YRM stainless bolt kits

The rear ones and boot will as I haven’t tampered with them

None of the doors open?
