Fair enough.

You say that but td5 ecu earth is on the seat box.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/376123348536 How about something like this which is a 2 pack but uses a normal cartridge gun?

https://twinwoods4x4.co.uk/product/alr9022-defender-bonnet-stay-genuine-land-rover/ I don't know what a kit is, do you mean the bonnet prop?

Still the same vehicle with the same emissions.

There must be a tube of single pack adhesive you could use at a reasonable price.

You could fit a new wire and inline fuse from the battery, just remember to switch it off.

Really it would be a good idea to take the mount plate off and deal with the rusty chassis, might need to get the welder out by the looks of it.

I've just found out it's for the air conditioning, but I don't have it anymore so it's redundant!

I ended up grinding the bolt heads off, there was about 5mm bolt to get hold of with mole grips and surprisingly they came out easy.

Additional front spotlight loom maybe?

If you mention the year and model I am sure someone can help.

How did you remove the damaged timing case bolts in the end?

There is a locking tab on the side of the injection pump to lock the pump timing before removing. Set the timing correctly,, undo the bolt remove locking tab and tighten the bolt. You can then remove the belt and pump.

Ideally yes.

It is and thank you. Build #280. Had it 9.5 years now, still good fun too.

Is it a Boss, very nice indeed.

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...

On some happier news I have found a registered company who charge only if you take their advice. So essentially they will look into my pensions for free and if they come up with a plan that involves moving a pension then it's a % of the value...

Good luck, a time machine would be fantastic.

You were lucky. 😲 😲 😲 😲 I/we had 4 of the sods. 3 taken out with my ex, one for each time we bought a house, then the last one when we divorced and I bought her out. The first two did as they were advertised, came in at more than the basic...

I got caught up in the "endowment farce" all the time I had the mortgage I ignored the red letter's warning me to pay in more (in failing endowment, good idea!) and in the end it paid out exactly as it was predicted originally. Must have been...

Which advice exactly?

Looks good. I quite like the Bilthamber stuff. Should last well if it doesn't get a hard life.

Valve of some sort in the steering box maybe?

I do have some of them and it recent years they have worked out in comparison to savings accounts available. Brings a moment of joy each month when you win something.

The first thing I did was take the little steering wheel off and put a proper one on, I then fitted the steering wheel lock and pedal lock. The next thing I did was take it for a drive I then ordered a fuel pressure regulator repair kit as it was...

If you have a removable steering wheel, the thieves can bring one with them. A 90 went missing not that far from us, pedal lock, alarm, removable steering wheel and column lock cover. It took just over a minute to be stolen.

The bloke seems nice enough and easy to get on with and I'm sure his advice will be sound. I am in two minds whether to just put the additional money aside, ISAs for example, or into a transfered pension. I have a feeling he is used to clients...
