… After 4 pages of “I want a D3”, and then culminating in “I’m not getting a LR for a few years” 🙄

He, she, it, wears you down 😁

Welppp This comment aged like milk 😂😂😂

Evening I’ve just finished a conversion using the bmw six speed xx gs6-53 ‘box The Land Rover boxes are not really up to the power/torque An r380 can be made to work but it’s definitely heavy on them. No idea about the auto. The bmw auto (6hp) is...

I like waffles With maple syrup!!

No We dont want or need a Jimmy. We own a very well maintained and reliable 4.4 L322 for the long stuff and a D90 for the fun stuff. Then obviously your "so called" landy specialist wasnt. What are you going to read it with and do with the info...

Here we go again :rolleyes:. Look if you couldnt sort the "small" problem on your D1 then how are you going to approach a D3 with all its tech? Buy a Jimmy and have done with it. J

Looks dead to me

A new one then!

My thermostat has a gap when in the cool, closed position, a couple of millimetres, is that a gonna then?

What is the code that triggered the check engine light? Guessing is a waste of time.

LZ is more than just a car forum. It's therapy too.

Its been a mad 3 days. I've had to deal with this episode and at the same time another van that has a type of handbrake that makes it easier to get to the back from the front of the van. When you engage it, it then goes floppy and the handle...

You gotta love dealing with the public. 🤣

Had to call the police today to stop 1 of our campers/customers. We've had a customer complaining the brakes on the camper he's rented are really bad. So we tries to book him in to a garage to get them looked at. We managed to get him in to 1...

i had a very worn cam (in the end) it presented as popping under acceleration.it was actually blowback into the inlet when the inlet valve opened, as the exhaust valve wasnt opening

NGK. I've never had trouble with them. Dad used to have a marine shop and used many, many thousands. Had one faulty one, ever. I run NGK in my VWs and the Disco 1 (actually, everything, in honesty 🤣 ) High RPM misfire can be a worn cam too, if...

I've had dozens of various Land Rovers vehicles with V8's in them. For the love of God please don't waste your money on Champion plugs. The quality is terrible in my experience. I only fit NGK, or Denso. Get a set NGK BCP6ES for a road car or...

Chuck it in the bin and start again, I spent an age recovering my 90 headlining and reinforcing the bit by the alpine windows, this has now sagged again!

Probably the thermostat stuck part open - that's the more usual way for them to fail, so warmup take ages, if at all...

Doing the above is not good for the alternator and can result in damaging the voltage regulator.

Huh? Guessing you haven't owned one then, or maybe didn't know where to look? There is a MASSIVE range of "aftermarket" parts for BMW, even from the manufacturers who made the originals: Lemforder, Valeo, Bosch, Bremi, Beru, etc, etc, etc. They...

It's trying hard to reduce the fuelling on the even bank. A new sensor does NOT gaurantee it's OK. Also needs the wiring checked. The 14CUX is pretty basic, A lambda sensor fault is NOT usually caused by a reading that's a bit out of range, but...

I keep thinking this thread is about a Freelander that does 2 mog!!!

You have no excuses for dirty smalls now! Hope the job works out.

Really Anaconda? A 20 year old original hose with 20 years wear / tear and temp cycling, will still be better than a new Britpart one? Are Britpart that bad?

Holy crap. Opposite of up here! I was sweating my balls off! Must have been 90% humid, but "only" 26C. Prolly doesn't help that I changed jobs - no longer in Public health, where you get to do stuff-all for double the pay... I now work in a...

I took my 1.2:1 Disco box out and fitted a 1.4:1 with the V8 5th gear. The D2 box was awful, made my 300tdi as flat as a pancake in the get up and go department. My mpg was lower too as I was always pressing down with the right foot, any hill...

Because they snap cranks and they snap cranks and if you have been on the receiving end of a snapped crank on two occasions in the same vehicle in short succession, then looking at alternate engines for an otherwise very nice and comfortable...
