I usually know if the cats been under the landy (cleaning the underneath) :D. Oh and a gravel drive is the best choice 🤔 J

Got an oil pump for the bonneville engine I am rebuilding, off the bay. An original item, cost 5 sovs. Compared to unbranded repros at 70 sovs or branded for 120+ sovs. Modern ones made with brass bodies, originals in bronze. Checked with a...

Afternoon folks :). Well Air BnB are us, yesterday. Flyin use the facilities have breakfast and leave:p. Its Stork (big chicken)time:p We have had a few late arrivals today as it started to be drizzly which is not helpful for the flying, so we...

When you park it up after a long drive see how much oil is on the floor.the next day Most of these leak more oil than they burn.

Update for anyone interested: So I worked out with some testing with a new temp sender (PRC2505) and taking the gauge out to test separately that there was an earthing issue with the gauge. Connected up on my bench to a power supply and the...

For big trips. Few bits of straight pipe(various sizes(slide in each other to save space) Straight metal joiners for pipes electric fuel pump 2xujs(make sure they fit front rear props) Diesel filter That’s about it… all other stuff I could...

Wheel spinning is a necessity to check the, erm, diffs, erm, for the MOT? 🤣

Ah.. I hadn’t noticed that, to be honest I wouldn’t fancy turning this over by hand you’d certainly break a wrist trying

Ooo the good old starter handle hole….

It's more likely to be that the swivel ball will be damaged (worn, pitted etc) which in turn wears the seal. To get everything back to 100% i'd reccommend that you change the whole lot, bearings, seals everything. If you have any sort of lift...

An older style mechanic told me years ago to make sure to pack the spring channel with grease before assembling to protect the spring from water

Yup normal. Took the balancer off the front, got some flat bar, rotated the crank till 2 of the bolts where vertical (had to turn the steering full left), marked the bar, drilled 2 holes. Made a cut out for the crank bolt. Bolted the bar onto...

You’re right, diesels weren’t fitted with them and early petrols were. Seems a bit daft not having one - the last lift pump I changed had a load of crap inside that was causing intermittent fuel supply issues. The one I have looked at getting is...

Chassis build up is on hold again for the moment as I need to focus on completing a different project first. However I have been looking at developing a new warning light cluster. My original idea was to remove this cluster and the smaller...

Switch off keyless entry, it stops the doors being unlocked by people using scanners. Later model Land Rovers have all had extra security added during software updates making them difficult to steal hence insurance premiums lowering. Ghosts are...

Took my TD5 out for a drive. It is now pretty much rattle free after adjusting the rear end door and passenger door. Also the new drop arm seems to have improved the steering kick back on pot holes. I'm happy with the little improvements.

The list keeps growing…

Bit harsh to use the dog!

Yes

Slow…. But have a few friends checking some routes/lanes next week. Gave a few locations for them to check while they are in wales. Need to hop on the Motobike & spot some lanes. Been doing too much driving,even last weekend with no time to sit...

If it’s weeping grease the ball may be pitted/scored Are you using 1 shot grease?

Swap the 12v over and see if the LED is at fault. Only 3 cables go to the lights. Earth Dipped beam High beam

I wouldn't change anything just for the sake of it. A 20 year old Genuine hose is probably better than a new Britpart one, same with the water pump. Mind you water pump isn't original, what make did they fit last time?

can’t see 1… or the other 3.

Bump stop? 🤔

At least it was warm, but had the help off the dog,need to plan 1 more day to convert the rear tub to accept the bed for a camping trip

Busy day… Removed the tunnel to get a lot of work done easily. Hi/low lever not holding low correctly so rotated a collar a bit(road test later) Easy gear box oil acsess(top up) Grease prop shafts from above Remove middle seat panel for the...
