Hmmm, never thought of food colouring before :D

It's all character building stuff ;)

Ahhh, i am sooo thick at times :D I'm now going to lie down in a cold dark corner :eek:

The engine wouldn't crank at all if the spider was at fault.

I run 245 x 70 x 16 on my v8 & they just touch the radius arms on full lock. I still need to adjust the steering lock bolts to stop this. Apart from that, they fill the arches out a treat.

BFGoodrich All terrain's work well & last for ages. Try googling BFG tyres

What are we voting for ?

I had the same problem a few months ago. Firstly, chuck the easy start away, it's better saved for old diesels :D I read that you've changed the rotor arm, does it have a big "brass rivit" on the top ? If so, put it in your hand & throw it away as far as you can ! They're fine when new...

I had the same prob with water coming in the sunroof winder. Replaced the front sunroof seal, £10 from L/R dealer & 10 min job to replace. Just had a heavy shower here & its dry as a board. Just the rear one to change now......which is not leaking, but for the price, isn't gonna break the...

Yeah & all the brown stuff flying out the window ? Worse than cattle floats at times pmsl ;)

It says in the handbook 10w40, but if its done 163k, i'd use something a bit thicker like 15w50

Take it back to the dealer mate. If its the same leak, they should replace the regulator foc !

Sounds like the pump, but i'd change the fuel & air filter first, ( cheaper to replace ) pour some diesel magic down its throat & take it for a good blast.

I'm looking for the same, but without the lift. I wanna use Bilstien or koni's but unsure about the springs. I have already ordered the polybush kit too, just to tighten things up & stop it floating about the road.

Yep, as long as you're stationary at the time. Should be enuff to keep the linkage free.
