It was @biketeacherdave That had the write up with pics.

Planning for a 50 acer reservoir is a bit different to permitted development and putting a plastic green house on the back ov yer castle. A new reservoir pushes wildlife out the way and destroys the abby tat permanently. Tis not naturally there.

It was @brianp38dse I think. The injector head at the back of the pump can be done on engine and only undo the injector head piece until you can just see the oring. Any further and you run the risk of parts inside dropping out of position...

Ah , that makes sense , hopefully I can get this running. I don't want to have to switch to coils.

The big leaks are economical to fix. They won't get smaller unless they run out of water.

I don't know if I'll be able to explain it to you in my present state of wine induced affluence of incohol!! Imagine you have a thing, like a pulley wheel, or an adaptor for a splined wire wheel, which is going to be turning anti-clockwise as...

Basics. Excellent.

I thort "doon the toon" was going to be quiet but I fell in with a crowd of very interesting folk, to the point that I had to shoot off to get up here to make a WhatsApp call to a mate, who, it turned out, had completely forgottid about it! Still...

Were the ring gaps equally split around the circumference. Is there some black marks in the cylinder pic running down Have you honed the bores after new rings

Sorry mines a L322

Sorry Stan this makes no sense to me at all. With a CW or RH thread, if the thing it holds in p!ace is turning in the 'tighter' direction how can the opposite work? Hence LH threads on NS axles.. Or not, as your numpty mate found out.. Edit...

My need may be more urgent than you getting around to this and running them for a bit but keep us posted incase you do it before I swap out my disks

Wondering the same.I need to go back and start over with the timing.

Google Dixon bate series hitch.

You can get a a spacer plate.

They are poor quality, low cost items.In the UK, often they are called ****part The Orange shocks that Britpart do are better quality. https://www.britpart.com/parts/suspension-and-axle/shock-absorbers/britpart-cellular-dynamic As are the oil...

OK, I'm bored! @kevstar jump on and amuse me, plese! 🤣

Hi All How do it fix and what kit do I need to fix a tow bar at the correct height for my series 3 please? I think the chassis to tub fixing which is proud of the rear x member will obstruct the normal bracket. TIA Lee

Ughhhh…. I’m losing the will here. A few days of glorious weather and all dried out, one morning of rain and footwell drenched again. The water seems to be getting in quite high up, just below windscreen level and I don’t have the time for...

If there is one positive to be had from this thread, It's got me proper interested in the L322. I like all LRs but never really paid much attention to the RRs.

Few more and electric F1 is possible !!

This is amazing

Started on the least favorite job, getting the dash back together ! Oh and ordered a set of black billet aluminum door hinges from exmoor trim, saw them in the Newak show and they looked well made and with show discount relatively cheap in...

haahha indeed it can! i can see how it looks out of wack!! rest assured its my big fat thumb xD

I chose Britpart yellow "Super Gas" and three months later am sorely disappointed. No offroading just French towns- there are some similarities.. I now have to change shocks again..

Basics. Why can't you get the rotor to align? Is it tdc on the power stroke?

Yep, starting like a dream. The green/red indicator on the old battery suggests it's okay but at 8+ years I'm not so sure. I did wonder about keeping hold of it or offering it to @Nodge68 for his projects? but if not it'll go

thats my fingerprint and i took the rings off to test the clearance between tbe piston and the bore by taking it out and outting it in inverted like the manual says

Having fitted yellow Britpart "Super Gas" rear shock absorbers (dampers to our American brothers) I have to say that after just three months I am rather disappointed, one started squeaking after just two months, now they both are, and the ride...
