tank pump is common apparently.

sorry for the million questions at the moment folks but im looking for your opinions. The DSE has had the new engine fitted by myself and i have put the battery on charge (not sure what state its in as i bought it from a salvage company) but the starter isn't catching its just spinning (fairly...

not bought it yet i saw a link to a free download but can't find it now. anyone know where it is?

2.5 DSE Manual there are 2 extra pipes that go to the gearbox and go into the bottom of the coolant radiatior, does coolant get pumped around the gearbox to cool it? or is the radiator divided and oil ran through it?

my fuel flaps not working either eeek!

nah bmw's are always chain. Ive just been building one to put in my 2.5.

theyre on a chain and shouldn't need replacing.

tell them to sit backwards on the back seat.

yeh im starting to learn my lesson more recently. a bit of patience can save you a great deal of grief down the line.

Hi guys, thanks for all your help so far with my rangie that ive been putting a new engine in, its the first land rover product ive worked on, bit of a change from working on clios mainly. by tomorrow i should be at the fluid replacement stage and i was just looking for recommendations on...

thanks for the advice folks. i was using the original clutch etc, but after a lot of bashing i thought i might have damaged something so dismantled and rebuilt the clutch/bellhousing setup and with a bit of careful persuasion this time its all in :) just the ancillaries to fit now and see if she...

should be covered by the warranty.

your going to lose money imo, i would ring a local car delivery/recovery firm and have it taken to your nearest local specialist. Sort it then sell it. Probs have it done and dusted for 200 or less including transport.

if it was straight prior to having the rod end(s) done then just take it to be tracked otherwise your tires will wear out quick due to them not pointing square. Take it to somewhere with laser tracking/alignment setup. Usually between 20 and 30 pounds.

do you need a pump? as ive got one.
