You can get the instrument panel out with the steering wheel and bezels on, well mine you can and also my son's. Should mention there is evidence to suggest both of ours have rubbed slightly at sometime in their life. Steering wheel isn't really...

I'd take it to a garage, it's almost impossible to diagnose otherwise.

Pretty sure I left the manifold on the head, be aware it's rather heavy to lift off.

Just so you know there are some core plugs in the head under the rocker shaft that can leak. Handly I found this out after I changed the head gasket!

Strange isn't it, fitted a new VDO one to my son's and it's so quiet you can hardly hear it.

I don't know why you presume a noisy pump is faulty, mines been noisy for 4 years.. My son's has always been quiet and was still quiet when it stopped working

More likely invalidate since it's illegal to remove the dpf.

I wouldn't be presuming it's the injectors without diagnostics, seems like an expensive guess to me. With regards to fuel pump are you fitting cheap ones or VDO ones? A duff starter will affect the cps and make it hard to start, once stared it...

Camshaft front cover/grommet/seal on front of head. Rocker cover gasket. Fuel pressure regulator Power steering pump. Clean it all off with brake cleaner and start from the top down. Two different rocker cover gaskets depending on the year.

Wolf rims fitted!😁😁

Okay so I think I've sorted this - clearly not looking properly at 11pm last night when I was trying to fit it. If you look at the sixth photo, you can just about see the stud from the mount sticking down, this was resting on the chassis leg...

Keep us updated so we can share the journey.

That's the same answer I got.

As far as any authority is concerned it's legit. I had endless problems getting the police to understand that a local TD5 registered as a tdi was most likely a ringer. I had to speak very slowly to explain to them. It took almost a year and...

I reported to Ebay, the Ai reply was there is nothing wrong with the advert.

Didn't realise Ebay sent your details to another person if you message them

When was the last time you got stopped by the police? About 35 years ago for me.

You can get repair panels for the bulkhead and chassis parts.

You are right.

Why hasn't it got a cat?

Mine is stock, except centre delete pipe and it doesn't whistle at all. Think you will find your exhaust probably isn't stock

Oh, I guess you are trying to fit one to a TDI then?

Probably not. When you look on Ebay for parts and you see private sellers randomly selling a couple of doors or bonnet or whatever you know its most likely stolen. Or specialists come to think of it. Or Defenders pretending to be a Series, so on...

It's usually Land Roverists stealing them but can't hurt to do that.

I disagree, Britpart can be various things, aftermarket (blue box), oem (also blue box with oem on the label, genuine is in a Land Rover box. Anyway regardless of that I haven't had a propshaft fail but a UJ can fail which I presume is classed as...

Genius idea, why did I not think of this - will try this first. Thank you!

Another idea would be them sun shades you can get in Halfords (and other places) to put on side windows to protect babies and such like. Quite often held on with little suction cups, easy to remove when you want to use the sunroof.

Aren't the early diesels just a little bit crap?

How about getting it tinted? Must be a suitable option out there.
