I don't think you need a lift. If difflock comes in automatically, then raise both nearside wheels. It is not going anywhere then. Chock the other wheels and take off the hand brake as it is a transmission brake.

Hmmm…. I am thinking get another opinion on what will be essential for the next MOT. Stay away from the garage who wants to relieve you of £10K. The welding, steering pump leak, and leaking turbo pipe you may have to give out. The brakes, bearings, chrome ball and seal should be within your...

The caveat was "set amount of cash". Thebiglad asked what was the budget. Still waiting for a reply from the original poster.

Why not with the most obvious. Jack up front nearside and run engine in high gear. Then try with wheel off. This will isolate if a wheel or tyre problem. Then look where the noise is coming from but don't get too close to the prop shaft. You may get a few clues following this process. I don't...

Which of those extras do you actually need for your off road use? They sound more of a wish list. I would prefer to add the extras my self as needed and have all the fun in doing it. Paying for someone else to do it is always expensive.

There are a number of things to consider; 1. did you bleed the system to remove all air after replacing the plug 2. is there still a leak in the system 3. is the pressure cap defective 4. how long did you drive with the engine overheating If you overheated the engine you may have blown the head...

You have burnt the clutch out. If you continue to use it you may cook the fly wheel. The only repair is to replace it and don't forget to break the glaze on the fly wheel. In respect of degree of difficulty, see the recent post on "clutch is slipping". You will probably need an engine hoist to...

Have you tried ezzybleed. A pressurised bleeding system may resolve the problem. I would be extremely miffed if the gearbox had to be dropped again. Not heard from you since Saturday.

Get a Haynes manual and do it yourself. Not a difficult job.

I had one of those kits and it did the same job. Can't remember the size though. For the price, I would recommend it for keeping in the tool kit.

Can this be done as a 1 man operation with the aid of a hoist?

May be the slave cylinder seals are failing. It sounds like air in the system. How is reverse?

Mine is still there and doing its job. I get the impression many are still in use but doubtful if always included in the servicing procedure.

Try paraffin. There was a link to cleaning the intercooler with this product but I cannot find it now. It is readily available and not as volatile.

Drill it out and use an easy out to remove the bolt. I don't know what size the bolt is so cannot help with drill size.

The injectors are different. Also I believe the 200 used the LT77 gearbox (reverse left of first) whereas the 300 used the R380 gearbox (reverse bottom right).

You only need to displace the pistons outwards a little to clean them as they should be clean internally. Therefore put a spacer in before depressing the pedal. If you find the pistons are rusted, then you will need to remove the calliper as the seals will also likely need replacement. Make...

I suggest you get it in writing. Insurance companies try and wriggle out at any opportunity. However the social and domestic pleasure class would cover incidental off road use. That was what the vehicle was designed for. For specific off road use, the warranty may require the fitting of diff...

Thanks, makes sense now.
