I'd start with a cup of coffee. Keep us updated.

If I am feeling brave I shall do that but I am going to ignore it all until next filter change.

That’s what I did but no idea if it’s the right way. It seemed a lot more effort to take the back plate of the housing off as well to rivnut direct to the chassis as there were two more bolts holding it on that definitely would have snapped and...

Welcome, pretty sure you can buy new ones. Try Ebay and such like. Join the Series2club or the Series123 club, sure they could help point you in the right direction.

Thank you for the update. Looking at your photo the rivnuts actually attach to the mounting plate, rather than the chassis itself, is that correct? I tried one bolt and that has snapped off, 100% the other bolt will also break. I have it wedged...

I’m working but will look forward to seeing more of your photos and videos. 😁

Was due to drive strata & spotted loads of motors heading that way. There is a small diversion route due to damage & been authorised etc by council. I do take photos of motors/idiots & have reported them. Normally stop & ask a few questions &...

I can't bring myself to do it.

You are right but they have enough evidence as it is in reality and you cant blame the council. The 4x4 community are in general their own worst enemy, 10 vehicles and not a single person could see anything wrong with their behaviour. I have no...

If you fit a new cable make sure you oil/lubricate the inner cable before you fit it. Britpart ones are OK for a few years as long as you pull the release handle straight out, otherwise they weaken and the handle snaps off. Do a temporary one for...

Did you get anything sorted out?

I was already watching on fast forward, it was at that point I turned off and couldn't watch anymore.

I am tempted but I am sure it will fall on death ears. There are one or two comments pointing out the error of their way, not many though.

Il drop it off at the turbo👍🏻

I have gone with your first suggestion, will be interesting to see if I get a reply.

Or the relevant council.

Welcome, stick some photos up or we won't believe you.

Haven't fitted it yet but it does like as if it's well made, wonder who makes them on their behalf 🤔

Changed the rear diff pinion seal on my son's D2. Everything went just fine, even the centering spigot came out no problem, unbelievable! Didn't bother to look for any other problems while I was under there.

Any progress?

Decided to do some lanes tomorrow, Monday 5th May, if anyone wants to come along. Starting near Reading at 9.30am, yes I know it's half way through the day. Message me if it's of interest.

Filled up with fuel, decided to do a last minute Greenlane trip tomorrow now that the seasonal TROs have been lifted.

It is a screw adjustment or might even be the throttle cable itself, which is also adjustable.

Completely agree with the above and should have said. I was more focused on getting it open. To alight it you need to remove the grill (just large cross head screws) then loosen (not not undo) the tow bolts holding the latch in place. This will...

The cat is on the downpipe, removing the rest of the exhaust is unlikely to make any difference to a blocked cat.

Wedged some foam insulation round the fuel filter, the filter bracket has broken off. Good job it's has a housing round it.

It's these sort of things that people don't bother to sort. Spend a bit of time lining everything up and lubricate every now and again and it should open ok. Let's face it a Defender bonnet needs to be opened on a regular basis.

Try watching these halfwits without throwing something at the TV! Blatantly driving off track on a couple of well known routes in Wales and in general behaving like a bunch of feral halfwits. Note the GLASS decal on one of them, reminds me why I...

Have you tried pulling the cable while the other person pushes down or lifts the bonnet? Otherwise take the grille off and pull/push the catch release over.

Found a nice flat parking spot for the night. And had a good day on the lanes in wales. Friend decides to drag the trailer round to see how it is(done well,but you have to remove trailer electric to raise the suspension to highest settings)
