Quickest , drop in brick acid for 2 hours I do like the look of that and the best model, cleaned up the original patina will look great

Strange, can you post a pic what you have , mine comes out rhs of tunnel and that’s normal Manual here http://smithies.co.nz/land_rover/ You have original gb and transfer box ?

Isolate the spotlight wiring for now and concentrate on finding your headlight problem first.

This is, for me, at any rate, the peculiar joy of a series. No matter how bad it is, no matter what the previous ten owners did, it can be fixed by me. And, if I do it right, the repair will last for longer than the life of most modern cars.

I'm an amature mechanic at best , how difficult is it to do the cam? I've purchased some land rover workshop manuals to try and teach myself, so I have a minor understanding.

Some here, tempted with the ‘auto’ / max torque one myself...

I'm talking of an ECU tune on a dyno , if I have that done before a cam change , would doing the cam cause any issues?

Aye, that’s the sod :vb-hangin:

So, just to close this thread with a defenitive update: She will get new 4-2 exhaust manifolds (the old ones are gone), a Weber / Edelbrock carb, full heat shielding and sound deadening, all of that this year. Maybe even a roof top tent...

Something like this? https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/gts004-single-half-tow-step-black-finish.html

Thanks for that. Even as a non starting pain in the backside she suddenly looks like Sigourney Weaver towards the end of Alien II. Battery taken back without a whimper and replacement checked in the shop at 12.8. We will see what tomorrow brings.

Hi All, My rear right window has decided to stop working, drove home with the window down and wouldn’t go back up when I stopped. Fuse and relay are fine, window regulator is working fine after testing. Strangely the drivers switch works in the...

Time for a Toyota Yaris

I would have thought so as a cam change will effect the characteristics of the engine on it's own. Thread carefully as the factory engine would have been to a spec. suited to the model. Remember Newton's third law :rolleyes:

Best? Electro rust removal. Cheapest? Knotted brush on an angle grinder.

I have a 4.0 1999 P38 , I am looking into getting the engine tuned and was wondering is it worth waiting until I have changed the camshaft for a torque cam would it effect the tune?

It’s not a steering protector at all…it’s a hand rail for getting under it/ back out under it when those brutes break down 😎

Hello everyone, I am brand new here and have a problem and need help. I need an original map for a TD5 with NNN500020 and ABS, preferably without ECR and without catalytic converter. Background: I have a problem with the ABS block. Every time I...

I’m leaning towards this as a solution. I have seen S3 with the right hand side cut off.

Got to be air in the system if you only put 2lt in and the manual says 2,9 lts was it all draind out if so do as@Anaconda says wheels of the ground

Yes, all topped up.

When we could have mumps, measles, cholera, chicken pox, no NHS, not to mention 'itler 🤣

Whats the best way to clean the bolts coming out?

I am told by the galvanizing company to sandblast in order to remove the paint and the primer. Rust does not interfere in the galvanizing process.

Still have one on mine. It is a standard Land Rover tubular steering guard to protect output arm and steering rod from knocks off road. Mine has a length of scaffold inside. [ met a rock or two in its time] No issue with its removal for road use...

Have you checked the fuses?

My harness is connected just like that attached. Given that I don't have any instructions as I purchased the spot lights 2nd hand from e-bay the only wire that remains is that of the High Beam. Where does that go? As I mentioned previously i...

A glimpse back to the good old days before the sun set on the empire and the whole world was a much happier place 🤔

Hi guys! I’m new here, and hope you guys can answer this question for me! Whilst in the works of restoring my defender 110 (the last defender garage i went to thought it was a G4). This front ‘bumper rail’ kind of thing, located under the front...

in terms of rebuild work yes - they're slowly selling off their pretty massive stock items but not taking on any garage work from what I understand.
