Think You can get lockers that are assessable above the wheel arches.

I’ve just got some more photos particularly of the underside. To my untrained eye it does look pretty bad under there, and probably worse than I expected after seeing the initial photos on the advert.

No it won't, the fuel cooler gets flow direcly from the bottom of the radiator, the return from the matrix goes into a T piece at the end of the cooler where it meets the outlet flow of the cooler when the thermostat in that piece is open cos...

I read it as they came down the section to the left of the waterfall going downhill, which is slightly less steep

Well now I’m confused. You are aware of the downhill VR but you didn’t drive the waterfall. Since there is no other way out I assume you turned round. Therefore doing most of the lane against the VR. That’s totally against the spirit of it...

Once you agitate the rubbers they come apart. The connections are tight

Im looking for a Discovery 2 TD5 with a 15P engine to use as spares for my Discovery im taking on a trip next year. The Discovery in my profile picture is the vehicle i need spares for is a pre facelift. Looking for a spares or repairs vehicle...

I think it's too rusty, by the time you have got rid of that rust, treated it, painted it, you will hate the sight of it. Remember chassis is always worse on the inside than the outside and it's hard work to do anything with it. It it's local...

I’m not concerned about the security side of things. We live down in Cornwall and I haven’t locked the car since we’ve head it, usually leave it open with the windows open and doors unlocked in car parks, gracefully it’s just not an issue down...

Do you have a code reader?

lt's cheap for a late 110XS Station Wagon, and looks basically okay. lt will probably need a rear crossmember in the not too distant future and it definitely needs rustproofing underneath. I would also expect to replace the mid crossmember...

I can’t get a Foley converted auto 110, and I’m not starting the journey again as this car is exactly as I want it aside from the seats. Thus the questions

I'm now properly in the market for a TD5 (110 probably, but still have one eye on 90s) after selling my car and meeting Bankz the other week who was unbelievably helpful, gave me a defender crash course (things to look for, quirks, common...

I do find experiences like this to be very encouraging, it's great to know you're managing such long trips. Fingers crossed I have a similar experience / opinion of it all once I get going. Quite pricey, but good to know such options exist (the...

It's all those illegal immigrants, coming over here and drinking all our water.

I think that would stop the flow to the fuel cooler though?

I double checked the coolant flow diagram and i am convinced now that you can simply stop the flow toward the matrix from the top hose with a simple mechanical valve without affecting the engine's cooling nor the fuel cooler's function, cut the...

It’s is.. but it’s so tightly on..

Makes me laff that the Lake District is in drought :eek:

I am using 15wxx (i think 50) oil. Is it worth rebuilding this and running it with a thicker oil? That seems to help solve a lot of issues for people experiencing piston slap. Especially since my PSI readings are all fine and dandy. Thoughts?

Funny thing, those old Land Rovers, aren't they? Just checked the new wiring loom, did a quick comparison against the THREE (!) diagrams in my repair manual, which is so badly printed most of the color codes are unreadable. Need to check against...

The longitudional lines shown in the picture is exactly what i have...

At least been the nominated driver you always get a comfy seat. Nuts to the others & let them battle over the crap seats

hm, yes. i agree. The thing i am mostly aiming for is that it laterally ticks the same spot every time? thus making that score. or is that a bit of a wishfull thinking kinda thing... Since maybe that means it should ALSO be on the other side.

There is 1 road from the airport into town otherwise you wait for snow and use dog sleds or snowmobiles

First Welch plug on the left was replaced by myself. Which had some sort of glue on the leaking hole to cover it but I missed the Welch plug under the Turbo was not visible to me. Middle welch plug had same temporary treatment with some sort of...

Call them what you like, but Land Rover call the buckles 😊

Today I learnt if you take a door card off a L322, make sure the mirrors are out. Confused the hell out of me when the mirrors were in opposite states to each other, one folded, the other out. Press the fold button and they swap over 😂

Doesn't seem to be many roads there ?
