    Has the bloke in Halfords got it wrong??

    Aha exactly my thought, useless ****er! Waste of £12 then, they'll be getting a letter of complaint! Shall i say it ruined my steering box and pump and I require immediate compensation? :D. So I need Dexron 2 ATF? I knew what the bubbles were, just it seemed like a chemical reaction was...

    Has the bloke in Halfords got it wrong??

    So I needed some fluid to fill up my power steering since i removed the pipe work when stripping the chassis down so i popped into halfords and got some 'Power steering fluid' as the bloke in there told me i did not want Automatic transmission fluid as my landy is considered old. So i got home...

    Electrical bewilderment

    So I am in the middle of a rebuild and have swapped over to a 200tdi loom from the original TD one. I can only get it started if i bypass the starter relay. I've tried multiple relays and its still the same; it just clicks and does nothing. On random occasions when i go to start it begins to...

    Bonnet repair section

    I'll probably try and do the same if I can find one. I like the idea of the pins and straps but the would still involve me making the metal brace thing look tidy which would a big job in its self.

    Bonnet repair section

    There are more holes in it than metal so patching would literally be re-doing it aha! I suppose I could have a go at making one but there are several tight 90 degrees bends followed by another which makes bending practically impossible so would need a press and I havent got one. Probably just...

    Bonnet repair section

    Hello Fellas, As a whole, my bonnet is in quite good condition except underneath the front where there is a terraced metal plate welded to the frame and riveted to the bonnet; the plate that the catches and stops are attached to. I was wondering if anyone knows of a place that does these...

    Door skin glue?

    hi, I was wondering what type of 'glue' people use to stick their door skins to the frame? Obviously its mainly held by the folded ali however i had to unpeel my old ones so figured a glue should also be used. So if someone can recommend something it would be great. Does it need to be soft...

    1987 2.5TD Brake line routes??

    Hi, I am redoing all of my brake lines after stripping my landy down but I was a bit silly and didn't take photos of the brake pipes. It was a while ago since I took it apart and I haven't a clue where the old pipes are so cannot use as a template. I have managed to figure out the rear pipes...

    Bonnet

    Hi, I am looking for a bonnet for my project. I live in Bridport, Dorset so need to be relatively close unless you'd be happy to post it - i'd arrange courier etc but would much prefer just to collect as that way saves me money :D. Cheers, Jasper
