Right, so there is more than one belt? One that perhaps I cannot see? I did manage to find a number on the belt I can see - its 7PK 1595

Right, will change the bolts while I'm at it. Thanks very much guys, I appreciate the help.

I'm not getting gobby at all, just saying I would rather not use the stuff and want to replace the parts that are causing the problems rather than patch them up..

No I'm not that bad taa.. Would rather do a proper job if I can.

Thanks for your input. I don't expect it to be perfect for sure, I do however expect it to be as advertised and as he described it to me. My main concern is the very loud vibrating despite him telling me it drives 'smooth and perky'. He said I might as well change the pump at the same time...

lol things aren't quite that bad! I've already ordered a P gasket incase thats what it was. I figured if I don't need it now at least I'll start building up a little stock of spares. Will do a search now for a water pump, thanks Beast.

Hmm, I'm not so sure.. if he had told me about the problem then I would have had room to haggle but he lied and said there were no problems thus not allowing me to take into account costs for repairs. So its not just a P gasket then? I need a new water pump? Is it the sort of job a guy with...

didn't think of that, will take a look... What does that mean? There is no fan belt? The car has no Air con..

Thanks for that Discool, I still cant find a fan belt to buy though..

Ok, so I am going to buy a fuel filter, air filter and oil filter from the paddockspares website link earlier in this thread, but I don't know what else I want.. Do I need a cam belt, or a cam belt kit??? Also, I can't find a fan belt on the site, am I missing it or do I need to buy one from...

ok great, will do. Thanks!

What do you need to do to the veg oil before you put it in? Does the engine need any mods to run on it? Does it stink? Why have I never heard of this before?! I really do lead a sheltered life!!

Oh, I hate looking stupid! I seem to do it quite a lot though! lol Not the sharpest tool in the box I'm affraid! haha! Do you make your own? How do you do it? Could you PM me telling me how please? Is it legal?

I'm sorry Beast, you've lost me... :confused:

How to make whats??

Right, I'll get the filters and start with those, buying tools as I get to jobs that I need tools for. I've never ever been bothered with any of my previous cars before but I've wanted and land rover for so long that now I've got one I want to learn how to look after it myself, I've just been a...

Ahh right yes, I hadn't considered the axles, gearbox and transfer box... :o

Oh ok then, I thought I needed some kind of special tools to do all of those things... :o I will give it a bash.. Do you know where is the cheapest place to get the filters, belts, oil etc from? Was thinking ebay?

Beat the discovery straight or the halfwit I bought it from?!! lol At least I'm still smiling (so far!) lol I wish I knew how to do stuff myself, I'd just get on and do it but I'm a bit nervous of trying to do anything following the haynes manual I have - not to mention I have no tools, just...
