Don’t dig a pit… to easy for the mrs to make you disappearDig a pit - or install a Four post lift
When she finds out how much you’re spending on it…
Why do I have the feeling that buying this Landy I may never take the family away on holiday again!
Also what do you think of this advice?
Which advice exactly?
Hi Anaconda,
It's when he's took the top of the TD5
- Wiring harness into the injectors
- Change rubber gasket
I've also heard that if you have the top off to also change plastic dowels to metal ones - would this be correct?
Also is there a PDF available for like a workshop part list? (and the winning lottery numbers for this evening!)
In additional is there a guide for nm when tightening up bolts on the engine and any particular order, so not to over tighten etc.
Sorry another question too - whats a good sprocket set for this kind of work?
Thanks again everyone for your advice and helpful input.

The dowel issue is when you remove the cylinder head (he only removed the rocker cover) and Is also a subject of debate as to if to change so be cautious.
You need to search for a Land Rover manual online loads of free 1s out there for download which give details of torque for bolts and how to.
As for a socket set, for starters Halfords do great alround sets to get you going, You will need more depending on how much you are willing to attempt
There are a few 1 of odd tools that you will collect on you ownership journey.Start with a big garage that you can get it in with plenty of space for tools and lock it to keep the OH out

Check the ECU under the drivers seat for any oil in the loom. If the big red wireloom connector is covered in oil then you need to change the injector loom, otherwise don't bother. Oil was dripping out of my ecu wire connector when I bought it. I forgot to check when I went to look to buy it, I was too excited..Hi Anaconda,

Seriously though if I was you just check all fluid levels, look for leaks, jack up each wheel to make sure it's not falling off and drive it.
Halfords pro socket set is a good shout, as mentioned by others, get the big one when it's on offer.
I agree 100% on the secret switch. I had it installed back in a 90s car, pre-electronics complication, and it always gave me the piece of mind. However, it does not stop some robbers from lifting the car and getting it away if left overnight somewhere accessible.I dont actually use any (but then we live in a totally different place
Removable steering wheel is good. Pedal locks I like the big plate that covers all pedals and applies the brakes. Anything very visible may make the scrotes walk on.
Secret switch is always good and easy to fit.
And a good tracker if it actaully does happen. Cos if they really want it they will get it.
There are a few threads here if you search and many have differing ideas.
Did you get any sort of history from the PO as to any work done?
It looks ok, go enjoy it
