True lol. Oh for a simple landy again........!

To answer your question, yes. I have installed a eight chanel relay in to my 300 tdi. It is designed to remote start, stop, and some other extras. You can install this easily, with the option of bluetooth, infrared, or a couple of other wire less connections.

Brake and clutch fluid becomes water logged after a few years and then it becomes fun. In brakes when this happens, as the water heats up,(due to use), it turns to steam therefore pushing fluid back in to the bottle, which inturn leaves gaps in the line, and crap brakes.

I would check the shocks for leaks then. :)

It is worth looking at the shocks as when they go they will give this effect. Also check the anti-role bar bushes.

I had the same issue, but I found it worked if I used photos up loaded on to the cloud. I think it is something to do with the size of the photos. Try down grading the size of the photos. :)

Hi, as for causes, it could be several like: Water in the fluid Air in the fluid Dirt in the fluid For the above the best thing to do is to bleed it right through, it will only take 10 mins or so with two people. Or Seals gone on either the slave or master cylinder, if its seals you should...

Today I spent two hours, stripping down the hydraulic pack hull down again, and replaced the float switch. Then the new one packed up too. Aaaaaaaaa some days I cant win!

Welcome :)

Hi and welcome. :) :)

No I agree but, dont forget she will be in salt water and this may add extra issues. I have redesigned the rear suspension set up and this will allow me to remove it easier.

Lol, she has to have a dual sump to be used in inshore waters, so she is not allowed to leak in this environment. Well I hope she wont.

I plan to fill the axels with grease, and have spare axels, as I realise she will get through wheel bearings, often, and I dont want to have to change bearings over a weekend. It will be a lot easier to swap the axels. :)

Well I work in Portsmouth and I live on the isle of Wight, and I a fed up with the ferries and the lack of choice on times etc.... so I decided to change that. It has developed along the way in to a lot more than that so in time I want it to do the channel crossing and we will see what else. :D

It will do at the moment, but I want the Rangrover Sport V8 twin turbo lump in time. 270 HP. Nice. :D Photos are here on my profile. ;) Land Rover Zone - Amphermiser's Album: Amphermiser

Chassis looks fine, for the moment, but I agree, it will get worse. Always clean any rust up with a wire brush / or a grinder. Coat it with Phosphoric acid (Rust eater) then protect it with good quality paint then stone chip over that in the hard wearing areas if you want it to last. Most...

Well mine started out as a standard 300tdi.# She has now under gone:#A 500 mm chassis/ body lift, yes half a meter not a typo. Here is some of the mods I have made: Fully amphibious capabilities, Intergrated Desalination system (for fresh water), 26 separate water tight /sealed compartments, A...

Hi, nice to meet you.

I machined up the front spring hangers, and tomorrow I have to make the spacer blocks for the coil over conversion for the the rear.

I agree with PTK. If it is the 1.8 ltr K series, then it WILL BE, the head gasket. In my experience they tend to go about every 40, 000 miles or so. A couple of things you can check are: Refill the bottle and remove the cap, and rev the engine, sometimes you will see bubbles forming...
