    Why would you park there...?

    Oh my life, I knew this place was filled with self-ritious opinionated ####tards but didn't realise it was this bad. There's people here I've made bacon butties for referring to me as the 'OP'. I'm not reading through the whole thread again now as I have better things to do with my life but I...

    Blimy, what a sleuth. You should get a job as a private dick!

    Why would you park there...?

    The OP doesn't really give a flying frick whether you're on his side or not, he's got work to do and a living to make. Don't worry, I'll be back later to answer each and every one of your points. Oh no, hold on, I've got a life to live! But if I can be assed I might head back over with my early...

    Why would you park there...?

    What makes you say it's badly loaded? Do you know what's in there? And I was going to accept responsibility with the insurance (I was quite apologetic to start with) until she turned on the London attitude. Back to the original question, why would you park behind a battered, well loaded (1/2...

    Why would you park there...?

    Read the fred, you tit. :p But to reiterate and elaborate... When I left the shop there was no-one behind me, there wasn't even really a parking space behind me (they're not marked, it's a farmyard), she saw me in the cab and might have noticed that the enjun was running (Itchy smokes quite a...

    Why would you park there...?

    I wish I had just driven off now. She saw me in the cab and not only parked right behind me but pulled up within 12" of the back of the Landy so there was no chance of seeing her. And when there was an empty car park a few yards away. Silly bint. If common sense was taken into account I'd stand...

    I'm not letting you off though, calling Itchy a Fender.... :o

    Why would you park there...?

    So, I went down to my local farm shop to get some bacon last Saturday. Itchy's handbrake is ineffective so it gets parked on the flat next to the shop. The other side of the yard is a car park big enough for half a dozen cars. I left the shop and there was only one other car in the car park. I...

    Does this look right to you..?

    Give that man half a Snickers! Not just rotted, it looks like it was only half welded on in the first place. And then welded to rust. Didn't need to cut the old one off, it dropped off on its own accord. That one inch of shiny stuff on top was were we wangled it off, that is all that was...

    How very dare you! The Fender is a SIIa.:mad: First time I've taken her round something like that and she needed a few more beans than Boomer's shiny compooterised plowing machine.

    matchams this sunday

    This afternoon I'm going to try and change my rear diff, prop shaft and fit the x-brake that's been sat in my garage for six months. If that's done successfully, I've got to shift a couple of tons of crushed limestone for a shed base tomorrow. If that don't brake it then I might be along to bust...

    2.25 doosul - what size are the fuel pump nuts..?

    Apparently ptfe tape is the last thing you want anywhere your fuel system... So, fitted the AC pump and it was still cutting out then wouldn't start. Realised that the problem must have been air getting into the system, which had to be between the tank and pump, stripped it all down and finally...

    2.25 doosul - what size are the fuel pump nuts..?

    On the first pump I stripped the thread that the banjo bolt bolts into, not much pressure on the spanner - I think that's where the leak I was trying to fix was coming from. So that wasn't really overhaulable. The other two are going back for a refund. The AC one has just arrived - a proper bit...

    2.25 doosul - what size are the fuel pump nuts..?

    I was thinking a thin wall socket of some description could do the job. And I think I'll make myself one as the replacement, replacement pump failed too! Always one to see the positive in things, I found a genuine AC one on ebay which (allegedly) is the same as a genuine Land Rover one, which...

    Best make of fuel lift pump

    I've been using Bearmach parts since I don't know when and have never had a problem, until now. Fitted a new lift pump (S11 2.25 diesel) last week and it failed on Saturday. Replacement arrived today, fitted and didn't make it home. Basically it's no longer sucking. (The first replacement pump...
