^^^What marjon said. Which engine & vehicle?

Quite a few bottle jack stripdowns on youtube, worth a look if you want to try it with yours.

Probably. This?: www.roverparts.com/tools/jacks/KAJ100571/ Looks much like a normal bottle jack with a 'U' piece welded on top of the ram. You could probably cut the top of yours & weld it onto a new one - for a lot less than LR want, even for a Britpart one! Or just buy a small trolley jack...

I think the silicone RTV ones that release acetic acid fumes as they cure should be avoided upstream of Lambdas. Never used RTV on exhausts, just firegum or trade equivalent - the name of which escapes me but comes in one of the cartridges that requires a gun, same as household sealant stuff -...

I'd suggest dealing with the exhaust manifold leak before you do anything else. Need to eliminate known faults before doing anything else. If you're using the individual gaskets - one per port - then they do have a right way round. For your problem port try Firegum. I have s/s sports manifolds...

I can't remember the brand but one of the things that people put into the coolant system to block up leaks has exactly what you describes as 'glitter/sparkles' in it. I think it's to help it block up any holes. Some just put it in as a 'just in case' even if they don't have coolant loss. Not a...

+1.

Good quality ones! FWIW I learnt a long time ago the hard way that cheapies - or even good quality non-genuine - are best avoided & usually use ones sourced from a franchised dealer. That said, when I did the hgs on my 3.5 Classic I used Elrings which were recommended & have been fine. I also...

The ad says: "Camper converted by the previous owner. The chassis cab is ex utility so well serviced. The Ambulance back was added and modified by the previous owner" So could even be an amateur DIY. Assuming you're not the seller, your first line of questioning should be the seller.

If the current garage still won't co-operate & there is nothing actually wrong that would justify the fail then you've really got two choices: 1. Appeal the result www.gov.uk/government/publications/complain-about-an-mot 2. Try another MOT station.

Fingers crossed!

They do. Both types of connections - post or plug - are available. Mine - 1986 EFi - has the same post terminals as yours did. Ordered that type when I needed to replace it two years ago. On holiday at the time so not got the tools to refurb the old one. My old one was a Magneti Marelli.

Can't help with the colour but having used Martrim for a kit for my Classic headlining (normal grey) I can recommend them. There's a couple of how-to's on LZ which would be worth you looking for. Be sure all traces of the old foam are removed from your backers, it's the foam of the material...

What happens when you fit a known good fully charged battery? Have you fully charged your existing battery with a battery charger?

Pity. You could try taking the box off - you're going to have to do that anyway if you're going to fit a replacement so nothing to lose - & doing it like the video using a blunt screwdriver to get the outer lip in.

Common for the area of the shaft that the seal seals against to be worn and/or pitted. Mine had the black seal which I replaced with the blue one plus I speedi-sleeved the shaft. No issues since & it was several years ago. There WAS a very good 'how to' that someone had done which I followed &...

It's VERY tight. Last time I had mine off I started with an air rattle gun - not a hope. Didn't help that the compressor's only got a small tank so it was a quick blast before the pressure dropped. Finished up doing it the old way by jamming the flywheel starter ring with a piece of angle iron...

As far as the metalwork of the car is concerned, there are a number of companies that do replacement panelling. Easy On Panels for Land Rover & Range Rover from Froggatts Land Rover & 4x4 Specialists Home - YRM Metal Solutions (yrmit.co.uk)

The 4CU doesn't do anything with the ignition, just the fuelling & basically controls the amount of time the injectors open. They open in banks of 4, not individually. On LPG I don't even need the ECU connected & that's proven handy as a diagnostic tool - if it runs badly on petrol but fine on...
