Most need an air compressor and application gun. Don't have such things sadly. Unless we could borrow ?? Cavity wax seems the thing, but high pressure needed for the distances.

Maybe a Dinitrol product??

Found these. I took a 3 Door FL1 sill which I made some cross section photos from. Maybe useful for rust proofing and wax injection. Note that the grommet in the rear wheel arch covers the back end, the plastic door trim screw mounts get you...

All sorted and ready for new owner. Really nice vehicle - NOW :) https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/5-door-td4-manual-new-clutch.399156/

As stated. Vehicle has had a replacement engine (112k) and new Borg & Beck clutch. Tyres are as new, well worth a look if you want a 5 door TD4 Manual. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/317016824076

Tis only the rear ??

Made up your brake pipes this afternoon. 😀

On a FL1 I had one with a pin hole in the breather pipe. When the fuel went up the filler pipe (when it was filled to cut off), it also went a small way up the breather. Just enough to find the hole. The hole, had been made by the self tapping...

Can you not change subframe and rear suspension as a unit from a scrapper ??

15,000 mile update. Front 5.5mm Rear 5.9mm Dropped tyre pressure to 30 psi all round. They are still wearing 0.5mm more in centre.

V6 has a different VCU to TD4 and 1.8 petrol. No damper fitted. 3 door and 5 door are same length wheelbase. If yours is missing do a search and check IRD and diff are not damaged before fitting then do the one wheel Up test afterwards to...

Is that a filter in the brake reservoir or has it been filled with tomato soup? 😃

Two very different emotions guys !!

Not very often, fortunately, I get "one of those jobs" ! Offered to replace a strut top mount for a mate. Both strut to hub bolts and nuts seized solid, like they had become one piece of metal. My 350 + ft lb impact driver wouldn't touch it. Nut...

FL1 is auto trans fluid which is red / brown. Think OP has FL2.

Hi, Thanks. I only had one and got that solved thanks. If we could work out the pattern it would help others. Assume you'd need a list of serial numbers and lock codes that match ?? I'm sure the forum could provide.

Before you condemn the top mount or bearing, whip the coolant bottle off and check the top nut is tight. Allen key in centre to hold. I had one that needed a new lock nut and unscrewed on its own !!

Yes Sat night camping is the plan. That's not to say Friday night is a no no if you have far to come.

Similar threads are available. Just to keep.it balanced.... https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/duplicate-please-delete.398546/

50th Anniversary blue is essential.

No idea ! Depends who makes them and what you ask for I guess. Safest is to contact a supplier and either buy some or ask them for the threads. Maybe you can specify threads and keep them the same as the rest ofnthe vehicle ??

On my 2002 onwards they are M10 x 1.0 except 2 larger ones on the ABS which are M12. Search my thread as there are double and single flares which require SAE and DIN flare tools and you MUST use the correct nut. A double flare requires a...

Photos of before and after would be helpful. Good luck.

It's a bit like remembering what you have to forget

Put double layer of cling film over brake reservoir and screw cap on to reduce leakage by creating a partial vacuum. Don't drive it !!

You can usually add a joiner just under the chassis rail. It is the bit in the wheel arch that rots. Make sure you get conifer pipes, copper is too soft and breaks when unscrewed at a later date. Make sure all flares on pipe ends are correct...

Anyone tried spraying Vienna Green code 751 ??? Now on second mix to match aerosol from a company I have used many times before and it is still too green. The original colour is a gold / green / grey. The last spray is the best, hoping with...

As you have fitted they are not so far off vertical when the arm is down at an angle !! They are trailing arms after all. Of course, depends which way up you fitted them but as photo I wouldn't worry.

It's a must peep thread. Recall an email and it gets it read too !!
