Quote (it's my daily car and only car.) brave man most of us have a back up motor or two :vb-biggrin:

Thats the king doo ribs in that foil tub, I chuck the bones back in & bin it as one of our dogs was a bin raker so no chances taken. It would be better if they had see through lids as id keep em for nuts bolts n screws.

Are we talking manual seats or electric?

I wouldn’t use the tin foil trays though!

Ive got a half a spicy chicken choo mine in the cooler. :D

33 quid plus delivery for a wee tray. I can get a meal deal for 2, delivered with 3 quid change so thats 6 chinky tubs & a round tub but thats the curry sauce one. :p

Chow mane ones do fine 🥷

With all things considered I am tempted to see what my local specialist would charge to do the cam for me, while this will be expensive it's cheaper than a new engine or car. Being new to working on engines this isn't something I want to get...

Hello, I have a D90 ex-carabinieri, I have an intermittent problem that only occurs when I take a highway and after about 20 to 25 minutes, it starts to emit smoke that is between white and blue. I stop and wait about 3 minutes and it stops...

Ok so we talking about a 2006 TD4 M47 FL1 yes, if so then try unplugging the MAF sensor to see if it makes any difference to your power going up hill, as nodge (John) says they are not complicated cars. Also flywheel on the M47 seems to be...

Hi and welcome! Any pics of the landies? We like pics…

Some clubs will be more responsible than others then. GLASS is the best bet for green laning or pay and play sites for off roading.

I’ve got one too (a metal locking cubby box, not stained curry tubs!) to fit to my 90. You can but internal trays for cubby boxes from the likes of Mud Stuff, but at a price.

Emptied the interior yesterday and today, isolated the transmission tunnel, got the rear carpets in, the transmission tunnel carpet as well. Reinstalled the drawers in the back. Plugged two holes, one in the driver foot well and one in the roof...

Ive seen someone in pain with kidney stones wasnt nice. Best wishes matey. ;)

I tried to get into a cage with a woman once, bloody terrifying creatures.

K-line rings a bell.

Mr misery guts 🤣 🤣

Yes, I realise that but those 3 know the procedure all the way from capturing the code to sending a code to start the car. iirc the Thor and diesel are similar in that there's a single code held in the BECM and the chip in the EMS. GEMS is...

That’s the issue I have found. No replacements or aftermarket seem available for the second row split doors. Only the originals which are either wrecked, in use, or cost more than a whole Land Rover!

I use a set of four 3 ton stands like these, although for most jobs two of the car wheels are on the ground with blocks holding them from moving. Quite stable with either the FL1 or my P38 on them. Wouldn't touch or trust those ratchet...

Depends on the Cam profile, but yes does need checking & doing. It's whether the heel of the cam is same or lower than the standard that matters. All the guides I have seen requires the tappets to be empty of oil & the gap about 40 thou with...

New rear propshaft fitted. All the needle bearings in the uj had disintegrated and fell out, some interesting noises driving along there. Need to find a replacement spider assembly now to keep it as a spare shaft.

According to his facebook page, he has closed down RPI now, but might respond on FB.

In A+E getting pain killers for kidney stone pain. 15 hour wait 🤨

Sounds daft but try some fuel cleaner (Redex) if the pump is in the tank +gauge it may be sticky or possibly as easy as a sticky lip valve,what ever it is ,a £5 quid additive wont do any harm,and if it works ,your quids in.

I just bought a bottle of diesel system cleaner for my 128K TD5 had it 2 yrs now,so thinking that maybe the injectors need a clean and all the fuel bits I filled up the tank and threw the whole bottle in !,,, 250ml, (2 shots) , 1 week later the...

Personally, I wouldn't spend time under a car held up by axle stands. Especially if I'm yanking on rusted up nuts and bolts and possibly rocking the car. Sod that for fun.

An alternative for those wot don't care to watch wimbledon
