It's not just you

Drive a bit slower on the motorway. My son has a 200tdi and 1.2 transfer box. It is fine in most situations but it lightly loaded, lots of steep hills can prove a challenge though. We stopped on a steep road in Wales once and had to use low range to get going again.. I have an overdrive on the...

You can't rely on the axles being correct for that year, my son's Ninety has a Disco 1 front axle I do believe.

You don't have a Defender though, maybe the early seats are different in some way?

Have a look at YouTube, there will be a video for it.

How about wear in the throttle linkages.. ours would tickover lovely when stationary, take it for a drive and it would be erratic again, all down to worn linkages.

That's a cheapy random aftermarket one then. I paid £160 for a Denso a couple of years ago, £180 seems the cheapest price now.

I have repaired both mine and my son's FPR with success. I replaced my starter with a Denso unit when it needed replacing

None of the doors open?

Maybe whatever the handle operates has come off? Mind you then you would be able to open from the inside I guess. It seems a little odd that both front door catches would fail at the same time.

That's quite common for the FPR to leak and bugger up the starter motor. Did you repair the FPR or replace it with a cheapy? Good you got warranty on the starter, where did you buy it from?

There are other videos in the series.

I am nowhere near being an expert but from what I have read on here you need to check the readings from the cps when starting.

Aha I remember now, big rubber grommet. Is it lhd in Canada? I think it is. There should be a bleed nipple in the top of the slave cylinder next to where the flexi pipe goes into it. You might be able to undo from inside the engine bay with suitable socket and extensions if not accessible from...

Sounds like a poor idea to me.

Sorry, what do you mean, what are you trying to do bleed the clutch? All I did was release the bleed nipple and let it flow through, make sure the master cylinder stays full of fluid. Have you even located the slave cylinder?

Did they really use aluminium bolts? Never heard of such a thing.

Maybe @sierrafery might have some helpful ideas. I'm reasonably confident he will need some live data to be able to help though.

I have a friend who is a windscreen fitter, it's well known that various RR products leak through the screen, behind the dash and into the loom and ECUs, requiring replacement. I would sell whatever vehicle you have and buy something decent.

If its a 2a with a cross shaft it's pretty straightforward if I remember correctly. Just gravity bleed ours with no problem, guess you could take the transmission tunnel or floor out if you wanted, pretty straightforward.
