many thanks for this advice. The guy put it one of those test machines and the machine said "Fail" i thought it was exempt from this but he didn't seem to agree. also the sheet does say blue smoke whilst idling and blue smoke at high revs. so it could be both the machine and the eye test that...

Hi. Yes, it is the 2.25 diesel early s3

Ok. how do i play with it exactly? i noticed a screw on the pump. would that be the bit i play with? ta

Hi. Taken my 1972 diesel landy for MOT today and it failed on emissions. He said "some parts of the emission test don't count, but some part of it does.. its the part that does that's failed". also said "there's too much diesel? you need to get the blue smoke reduced" so. with this mass of...

Great advice thanks. It seems i haven't got everything after all. I got etching primer, but not normal primer. I have ordered some 1k high build etching primer with good adhesion (especially aluminum) and high coverage... sounded good to me :) i am now off to practice filling a few dents on a...

many thanks. but it because of this article (and others like it) i have bought so much stuff and have so many questions. most just isn't applicable. the choice of paints in land rover marine blue is limited to us average folk so i have purchased the (recommended by another member) synthetic...

Hi. Ive decided to paint my landy with a gloss roller but im a bit confused as to what goes where and in what order. I have read pages of bumph on body repairs and paint but it all seems to be different or not applicable or.. not exactly clear? the car has never been repainted so there isnt...

Great! Not sure which i put in the front diff. I just had enough and chucked the bottle.. don't think there are any brass bit in there though. So i need to get fleet disel mineral oil for the engine & EP90 GL4 for the diff & boxes. any idea on how much i need? My mate said 25 litre of ep90...

Panic Over. We have just tracked down the previous owner who had removed the plate to get the paint off. He just hadn't gotten round to putting it back on and still had it. the acid trick did confirm it was the right plate. wasn't ground off, just hard to find/read. so all being well and ex...

Hi. Ive read a few threads on oil and it seems putting the wrong type of oil in the wrong place is baaaaad. it also seem that the right type of oil made by the wrong peopl or with the wrong numbers isn't so good either. So far i have only done the oil in one Diff (when i changed it last week)...

Finally got some diffs. I managed to get a pair of 1972 range rover diffs wit filler plugs. very clean inside. I did the rear diff today. old diff came off fine, no broken studs and the replacement went without a problem too. Now driving two wheel drive only until i get time to do the fronts...

certainly a possibility. could be a replacement front chassis? but the fact that the plate is missing and the drilled off rivets are still there doesn't look good. & the number plate is recognised on the DVLA database I have the link to the advert and it looked legit enough. also the...

Hi. My mate has acquired an Ex RAF series 3, 2.5 (not 2.25) landy. We are looking for the chassis no so he can apply for the V5. the seller was supposed to do it but doesn't appear to have done so. The number plate on the bulkhead has been removed which looks a bit iffy but there should be a...

thanks. ill get this one then. the disco is 1990/91 so should be a safe bet. all i have to do now is fit em and get a landy halfshaft ill post photo's eventually to show it all.

Great! just to double check.. the "LAND ROVER, DISCOVERY OR 90/110 10 SPLINE DIFF" for sale and the 10 spline dif on this 200 tdi can both go on the same landy and they wont rip it apart?

ah. that's interesting.. so i can use this one. and then look for another one the same. i was looking for a pair on the net, but some peoples sell them single. update: seen an advert for "LAND ROVER, DISCOVERY OR 90/110 10 SPLINE DIFF" 1 off am i still correct in thinking.. as long as it is a...

Given up for now. after crawling about in a field all day, nettle stings on my bellie, arms & legs all to find 1. a set of 24 spline diffs that wont do. 2. a set of fat axles from a a rangie and eventually.. after dragging the 200tdi off the field and onto the ramp, then removing the diff to...

ahrgh!!. ok the rangie (my 1st choice) has very thick half shafts compared to mine. i didnt go any further assuming it would be a diferent diif? The Disco.. both half shafts have gone so i cant count the splines.. the flange is the same square/clover shape as the landy so at least the flnage...

Yep. they got 24 splines. ok. i have a choice of another two cars to get diffs off. had a check and both have 4 bolt flanges. one is an old v8 range rover 1982 ish. the other is a 200 disco H REG? WHICH IS BEST

Ok. got this donor car on the ramp. the rear flange is different which could be a pain (hopefully this doesnt mean its the wrong diff type), there's a lock hut on the wheel and no spanner for it. still trying to find a way to get it off with brute force. thanks for the number by the way, i...
