    Unable to bleed brakes (SOLVED) - Custom Brake Thread

    Or the very simple rubber tube with the bolt in the far end and the slit in the side. Cost peanuts and I use them all the time, I have even made one when I couldn't get one. Eezibleed is an oxymoron. Gave up on mine when it refused to work but sprayed the engine bay with brake fluid. Tired it...

    Unable to bleed brakes (SOLVED) - Custom Brake Thread

    None other than, yep, put new cylinders on. If not properly bled the air in them, which contains water vapour, adds to any rust problem. Also they work over such a tiny distance that even if you take them apart and hone them, they often simply don't work again properly. If you do take them...

    Locking wheel nut adapter missing

    The cover to the one with the lock nut on should have a dimple in the middle, and be the only one that is removable! It is faintly possible that, once given all the security info they ask for, a LR dealer may be able to tell you which adaptor you need. If not, get 5 new ones and the key, then...

    Is it still one of those where when it rains you mustn't touch the material from the inside?! 🤣

    Disco 2 Stalling issues.

    Well if it happens standing still you CAN try a gravity tank and see if it still occurs. If it doesn't you know that it is something in the fuel supply.

    It is so flipping hot here that we can neither of us be bothered to go down to the pool. This sounds mad, but we made the decision from the off to not have one you can nearly, or even probably, dive into from the living room french doors. I'd like to swim later on, but W gets bitten by every...

    Looks great! Totally get what you mean about a tent you can stand up in. We too used to camp at shows in one you couldn't. got to be a right pain. So wishing you many more shows in which you can use it!!:):):)

    On what is likely to be a final remark to do with this as I think you have got it aabout right now, this trubble you have had reminds me very vividly of the same trouble, sort of, that I had with W's Porsche copy kit car. The engine was a tuned 1800 version of a VW flat four aircooled. Built by...

    So, up at dawn this morning to make a start on the apple harvest. Dreadful this year compared to last. We will get a fairish bit of juice but nowhere near the bumper crop we had last year. We still have stuff to spare in both countries. Good thing!! We have stopped now as the heat is starting...

    I have to agree wholeheartedly with this. Trying to get perfection without an ECU etc is flipping impossible with a carb.

    Did I? I thought I just said that I thought the rolling road guy was a cowboy. If he tunes engines as you say, then apart from the exhaust analyser, then he is doing it the same way as I would. I don't have a Snap-on strobe, my strobe is a Gunson one, but very good, and a Gunson general...

    100 thou. So 1/10 of an inch. Without measuring it, just looking at by eye on your pic, that looks to me a bit more than that. Just saying. Have you actually measured it? And I am not sure who you are referring to, is it you, being ironic about yourself, or is it the rolling road, jockey? So I...

    Defender TD5_Gear Shift 1st-2d

    " it allows the synchros, which may be slightly worn, to disengage and engage." This is a bit mad, but I only learned the other day, and this is after having rebuilt a few gearboxes, :rolleyes: ,that the synchro rings do not stay stuck to the gear wheels once the change has been made, so they...

    No, SW but far east corner of the TARN, touching on the Aude and the Herault. I'll have to look up 32! 🤣 Aha, the dept which contains the famous place Condom!! I think another member who lives over here may be a bit closer to you than we are.
