My 2003 TD5 has developed a diesel leak. First investigations indicate that its coming from (bear with me on the description as I couldn't get a photo!) a small item at the back of the engine. Basically behind inlet port 5 (the last one counting from the front) at about the same level there is...

I've recently had this on an old BMW - I completely stripped and re-conditioned the callipers, new bleed nipples etc (they are only pennies from a motor factors so its not worth struggling with old ones) and it still wouldn't bleed. Turns out that the flexi hose had broken down inside and...

First thing you need to do is check the tracking. A mechanical track guage is pretty easy to make and very accurate. From memory a little toe-in is best. Always better to go for a little toe-in for on-road stability IMHO. This is adjusted by the rear track rod (opposite threads on each end...

Personally never been a huge fan of the jacking and axle stand method because of the risk with all the jerking and jolting of something giving way. I would think this is particularly so if all 4 wheels need to be off the ground. Not heard of any drive train issues though. I've never had a...

I suspect this is like the 'which kit' question on the cobra forum! What sort of power should I be looking for out of the V8 for manageable power? I was thinking with a cam upgrade, mega squirt (which would hopefully solve some of the water logging problems too) with an edelbrock inlet...

hi guys, New to the forum but not new to Landys. Grown up with them in their standard form. Want to rebuild one myself now from the ground up for a little bit of green laning / off roading. Probably the start of the build is a little way off but just trying to get ideas about what to do...

Thanks for all the replies. Changed the oil pressure switch and everything appears to have returned to normal. I'm sure most of you have the same view about main dealers but I rang up this morning to get a rocker cover gasket for the 300 Tdi. Hadn't got one in stock so he looked at his...

Thanks guys. Couldn't just tell me where the switch is could you! Jon

Hi guys, Sorry to put urgent in the title of the first post I write but I may be up the creek with the paddles being washed overboard if I don't sort this out quickly. I have a 1997 110, running the 300(?) TDi engine. It is the original engine and has only done 35,000 easy (but probably...

Thanks guys, I am a member of the cobra club forum too and you are just as helpful! I think I might just take it off seeing as I live in the UK.

Hi Guys, Got a 2003 Defender County. The light that is meant to indicate that there is water in the fuel is coming on. I think I have had a problem with this before and after a lot of p***ing about found that the sensor was knackered (tried draining the filter and no change). Can anyone...

Hi guys, Just saying hi. Am looking for advice on a landrover. Not new to landrovers, nor mechanics (currently building a cobra) so not afraid of a challenge, but want to know what you guys think as the assembled knowledge I am sure is vast if the cobra forums are anything to go by. As I...
