Apparently I need a 8 new office chairs from Ebay at this moment in time.

I hope you get some joy soon, it is a bit soul destroying at times.

Clean all the oil around the injectors, run the purge cycle and carefully watch for any diesel leaks around the injectors. In my limited experience leaking injectors doesn't stop it from starting a bad crank sensor or interference from a bad...

If you can see diesel then the seal must be leaking or the head is cracked surely. I don't think that would stop it from starting though.

The bearing press kit for the front main ball joints top and bottom had a perfect fitting sleeve + a dump hammer which I used

Well I am pleased some of my advice was useful to you. Out of interest what did you use to knock the new seal in.

It's not just you

Yes, common enough. I did that very job for a mate some years ago. Also many have had drum brake rear axle replaced with later disc brake axle. Box of chocolates as Forrest said.:):)

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...

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.
