My guess, yes.

Yep, the previous owners failed to keep rodents out and suffered with catastrophic power and water leaks. I on the other hand had a regular pest controller out, had the bottom two rows of tiles wired and wire wooled and expanding foamed all...

Will box them up this weekend & calculate postage. Truro is a bit far from Langley to pop over !!

ok definately seems to be the camshaft, ticks are lining up with the exhaust rocker of cil 3 edit: typed crankshaft instead of camshaft.

no improvement when adjusting the valve lash. i guess all that remains is pulling it again and inspecting the crankshaft and its bearings.

Hi, 1st post here. I have a 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 manual, about 100K miles. I've recently noticed the revs rising in higher gears when accelerating and after changing gear – the revs rise, then drop back a couple of seconds later. Feels as though...

not the exhaust. dismantled it and listened to the engine with a sthetoscope. still a tick. indeed does seem to come from the camshaft side of things. also indeed does seem to allign with the valves opening/closing. going to set the valve lash...

Mine has the type that just clips in, never seen yours before. Even my 86 plate 90 didn't have those

Thankyou mystery, mystery solved! I'm surprised no one sells a replacement for series landrovers. I'm sure the rubber diaphragm deteriorates above the hot manifold and can cause running issues. I'll take mine apart and inspect. I've ordered the...

Them with stalks are the RRC type. Love the old type lights.

common on the MGB so easily sourced

Ooer, I'd of thought the end bearing will be around 2" in diameter. Unless you fill it with JB weld just to fend off a leak😱 You may have to put it together a d monitor it... 🫣

Not standard fitment in the UK! Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

hello there, looking for some insightful advice 😃 Whilst I was at war with my spigot bush my first attempt was to drill the end cap off. In doing so I have drilled into the crankshaft it appears?…although it must of been made of cheese has never...

How low can you stoop? Dashounds! :oops:

Bloody things ... My 1994 has the long thin ones, you need to pull them away from the wing and then twist the bulb and holder out... The orginal ones were stuck on with double sided tape. Not right IMO. So after a friend of a friend pulled one of...

Can you bend that low to get in…?

Hull is cold in a different way, when you walk into a pub EVERYONE turns to look at you..... you wonder why but its the fact you don't have webbed fingers.

Er actually you don't just take it, you respond at excessive length to the slightest comment or opinion. You also did the same on the other forum, when anybody mentioned fuel economy, even though your first post on here and there mentioned it...

Had a nice run out in me tratter today, 60 mile round trip to visit dottir, and do a couple of jobs while I was there. Took the country roads there n back, lovely drive. Back at Wimblowdriver Towers now, second chilled Guiness drunk an off to the...

Admittedly I have never been to Hull, so not necessarily colder, no :)

@iSanttu Might be worth putting this AC issue into a separate thread. Do you know if they used the correct quantity of R134a ?

Reminds me of a job I was on in the early eighties. The old boy who was the tea boy and breakfast cooker was a soldier in North Africa during WW2, told us that they were rationed to one square of bog roll per day (the slippy, hard type). They had...
