The entire day, apparently 😱

Have to ask @MGT …

Been staring at rubber grommets for too long...Google is great but the amount of slop served up leaves a needle in a haystack type search. They are close enough. And cheap enough to have a punt and see. And...the brackets are still at a point...

Tbh it is no bad thing. Letting the torque spin out protects the driveline to an extent The issue with the m57 is that it makes a lot of torque very low down I have put a pneumatic centre diff lock in but I doubt I will ever use it unless I get...

Undo that nut on the top, in the middle, the bottom and canister will drop out ... Heres what a new one looks like ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222520618352 Other sellers exist

Get a V8 110 of an 85 landrover.(if you need a reg number to order I can give you mine) . same shape as the facet(barrel type) and a lot cheaper. Mounted mine in the engine bay by the brake servo. I do forget to turn it on some days & it still...

I've seen this mysterious starting behaviour before. The Landy concerned had two bad segments on the the starter's commutator. This means a lottery when going for a fresh start, as it depends on where the motor stopped rotating the last time it...

Already done ..just putting feelers out in all directions lol

Who are we ignoring?

I was just replacing those ones with black poly bushes as I knew I'd be struggling to replace like for like without a press etc.

Progress so far... Air box etc out of the way. Upper intake manifold off. Lower intake manifold, coil packs, fan, belts, pulleys, coolant hoses and rocker covers etc. Heads off. The problem cylinder, all liners look and feel ok for...

Look on fleabay. Are yours the same size as the LR standard bracket?

Finally got enough bits together to re-fit the rear wheel carrier. Forgot how heavy the wheels are when I had to lift it back on though 😂

How about putting board on top of the seats ?(either on the seat part or back rest) Put a few uprights to support this. Make it so it folds in the middle or in 2 pieces (then You could slide it onto the floor for storage)

Before trainers were invented, it was a gym shoe, for those who remember them. 🤣 But that was in Avon or Zummerset, or Glowwwcestershire!!

I've seen worse

OK, so here are the very sooty BP6ES plugs. All equally awful, no special standout cases. I shall pop some BP5ES's in (hotter plugs I think). I hope they don't do any damage, and it might burn off the carbon. :)

Put the boards on top. Less stress on the metal work. If you done the angle iron method bet you would catch your legs on them unless you remove these after use.

How could you tell he was camp ?

It’s a dap for a trainer in Wiltshire

It had a bulky case on it but it landed face down, the shock must have killed it as it just flashes. I'll have a look at them cases ta much. ;)

Take the spark plugs out (distributor cap seems to be missing ??). Then crank it on the starter motor & check the oil pressure and get the oil circulated where required. Then I would put sparkies in & get it to fire up & idel before revving it up.

Just a thought... On a non standard engine throw the reference books away :)

I have an excess of soot on all plugs. I will pull all 4 tomorrow and take a picture (hopefully a decent one) to show y'all. I have a set of BPE5 plugs I could put in to see if they stay cleaner as they run hotter, but the book does say BPE6's...

I've had more than ten Minis, gave up counting I've only ever had one that ran with light brown plugs and it burned an exhaust valve out. If you're anywhere from light grey to black without soot then it'll be fine :)

Crap old pics, but you can see what I did, pics dated 2015 and all still okay. Just wired to a toggle switch under the dashboard. Car runs fine even with the pump switched off, but will lack power on hills until you switch the pump back on. Also...

Can confirm that bypassing the lift pump with something similar has done the trick. Many thanks!

Lovely night in work in royal mail an area that noted for being a sweatbox😟 Only thing keeping me going was to ignore it. When all around you are speaking a foreign language I blank it. When I get back home to bed. I eventually ignored the din of...

Here she is

Funny how "I might as well do this at the same time" leads to multi-day work projects. After finishing the installation of the Roamer OD, I thought I'd add some heat/sound insulation to the bottom of the centre seat panel, which lead to doing the...
