Fitting a shiny new turbo at the moment, and it was recommended that I crank over the engine without it firing until oil can be seen coming out the oil drain pipe. What's the best way to stop the engine firing whilst cranking? Done a few searches and didn't find the answer yet.. Thanks in...

Hi , I've just seen your ad for range rover LSE wheels. Are they still for sale? Whereabouts are you located? cheers Rob

I'm interested in these if they're still for sale. PM on the way.

This one has got me a bit stumped, so I'd appreciate a second opinion or two .. I have an '02 15P Defender, does lots of motorway mileage, now approaching 200K. Its always used a little coolant over the last 5 years but never enough to be an issue. About 18 months ago, I had the head off...

I've just made an impulse purchase for some tasty alloys and will be putting on some new BFGs. :D Is there any locking wheel nuts out here that are any good, cos it seems you can just go on eb*y to buy unlocking tools (either genuine ones, or others that screw or grip the lock nuts) ??

How do you know if the flywheel needs replacing?

This came through my letter box today. Good news that they caught one of the low-lifes . Hope they get what they deserve :fighting:

Received this message from Dorset police yesterday: Last night the Land Rover that was stolen from the Furzehill area recently was located. It was initially seen by Officers in suspicious circumstances near to Blandford, and then following a Police pursuit it was recovered in the Horton area.

Did a recce of the eastern side last weekend, and had a superb day.
