Re air supply for suspension, there's usually a Schraeder valve in the boot under the compressor cover which hides under the spare wheel.

Got my car back from Bexhill, the old starter was jammed with the armature out so would never have worked anyway. They fitted a new starter and replaced a couple of earth straps that were showing signs of wear. I got some change out of £800 for that job. There's just the suspension joints to do now and the car should be good for a bit longer. There's a lot of clonking from the drivers side. The pot holes along our lane don't help.

I got my vintage AEC coach engine sorted, reset the camshaft timing sorted, it took a couple of days, then reset the pump timing, it now sounds a whole lot better but still has this annoying knock. One specialist reckons it's one of the cam followers not being able to rotate. The noise seems die down once the engine's hot. There's a 1970s AEC lorry in our storage shed that has a similar but quieter knock

Dont think so, if so its not standard. I have rebuilt my compressor so have been in that whole in depth and didnt see 1.

Today I'm planning on replacing the in tank fuel pump so I can use all the fuel before it cuts out, bodge up a retaining pin for a handbrake shoe, replace the siren sounder module and stop a coolant leak on the TD6 top hose branch thingy.

That's if it all plays nicely.
 
Update on my parents van.. despite the fiat garage telling them there was nothing wrong with the clutch, i pulled a dtc which says there's a thrust bearing problem. Seems like there's plastic bits on the clutch plate which break off and jam the mechanism

Can you get a hose through an inspection plate or similar and give it a blast whilst very slowly easing the clutch in and out?
 
In true Land Rover style, I fixed one coolant leak only to find another, on a stupid preformed BMW plastic pipe.

The old plastic pipe i think I was very lucky with. Undid the 3 bolts holding it to the block and the branch off it just fell off. Don't think it would have been much longer before it gave way.
