Brakes crap , MOT next week, new disks and pads.

If they had stated To British Gas P9 procedure, I know a few guys who could...

There are a number of 'common' leak points on an LT230 transfer box. They are all relatively easy to fix with the intermediate shaft being the most time consuming and requiring the box to be off the car. It really needs a good pressure...

If that is your only issue with a 20 year plus truck you are very lucky. Only a thorough clean up will disclose the exact cause of the leak. Also I think the oil has a red hue which says main box oil. Anyway it will be basic fix of gasket or...

The TD5 engine should be fine, you might take ancillary items such as an alternator and water pump. Oh and a spare ECU as they are now starting to fail without warning and you won't repair that at the side of the road.

Did mine two years ago, it was much worse than that. The whole bottom rail gone as well as some of vertical ones. Did fix it in the end but a lot more faff than doing a front door. Looking back a new door would have been better despite the cost...

He can either clone or use the data to make a matching key with different key number. Had a long chat with him about it a while back. Hence 4 options on the website.

I did say "usually" the universal get out!! As you know from anuvva fred I'll be getting more fancier soldering gear soon to mend 8 thermostats, so I'll have no excuse then.

Hey guys and girls! We're about to dabble our toes into the world of defenders following being stung for a hefty chunk of money on another vehicle and getting fed up of the non-simplicity of fixing it.. Anyway, we've found a 2002 90 we like...

Yer better watch you dont knock your drink over with that growing nose of yours. 🤣 🤣

No matter how well you wrap things in tape water always gets in. better plastering the block in ct1.

Got a self igniting soldering iron gun 🤣 🤣 Well you click the button & it lights it doesnt do it on its own. :p

Method in my madness, if it's not that it would be some thing else

Ok look what the cat dragged in. 🤣 🤣 Nice to see you to see you.......... :):)

There is a splined boss which is held onto the winscreen washers drive spindle by a small grub screw against a flat (so it doesn't rotate and fall off. The windscreen wiper arm fits onto this boss and there is a small spring clip that stops the...

Well I must admit that if that was the case with me I'd just do it, it don't take long and she is prolly really sufferin. :(:(

Didn't let the W read this for the last 10yrs every 2 weeks she has a pop about this my response is when I catch up with all the other stuff she also gets blisters with the bites 😯😯

Oh sorry it’s a 95 N reg 300tdi

Ok so I’m taking my wiper arms of , and they looked like there held on with a grub screw which wouldn’t undo. So I attempted to drill it out after drilling out attempted to pull arm off the collar with the grub screw which has been drilled out...

Just been looking on Ebay, Td5s are still been advertised for strong money. Going by that the one in the link seems reasonably priced .

Thought I would show you a little bit of rust for your amusement I've run out of gas so I cant weld it up, got the bits though. Hope you are all well anorl.

and that keeps making me feel tied

it was an x3 box, you would have to change both diffs as the transferbox is not a true diff

This ^^ In a 90 you can carry people, things,, the dog. But only one of them at a time. If you need to carry more than one thing at a time you need a 110.

How many can weld to the BS5135 spec? ;) Great info though

I grasp that fact but I have said maybe 20 times that I do not care about acceleration because that will be only before entering the highway or exiting the highway hours later. So once again my idea won't work because of something that I am not...

Hi mate I'd just like to thank you, I've rebuilt the valve block and after some fiddling around with a split compressor pipe it air up extremely quick . Cheers 👍👍
