What would I replace it with…. A BMW M4 competition convertible or a 991 GT3….. (yes seriously… it would demote the current SUV to the ‘do everything car’ so do all the running about , DIY, tip trips and station car and let me get myself a toy and my wife will have a new car anyway). We are...

Sorry, to clarify the welding was £180. On top of that is the work to strip it back to get it done and get the joints done. So a total of around £600 all in (call it £420 for the other work). the problem is mostly - as objectively old hat as it is, it is a likeable thing and it does do what we...

Hello Due mostly to it being reliable once I’d got it sorted four years ago, and been driving, I haven’t posted much. It’s now reached the inevitable point where it’s failed an MOT on rust. And my wife has said “enough, it goes” It seems a shame to simply scrap it when if nothing else it’s...

Hello Does anyone know if any of Britpart, Rimmer or JLR will still stock the fuse box itself? It’s the small additional one under the bonnet that clips on to the main unit and just holds fuses for the heated screen. Mine has melted fuses in it due to corroded terminals and so it’s trash...

Sorry to butt in, if you just mean the plastic rail covers, under a tenner from Land Rover.... I bought a set when I took them off mine. Next day delivery. May even have been under a fiver.

Aargh, 1. Brand new nice 13mm socket from lovely new matching toolkit fell off ratchet and into engine bay somewhere) Parked over mud (it’s everywhere this weekend and car has had to be left where it died). Can’t see socket anywhere and can’t get under car without looking like a monster from...

Nope. It’s still crapping its battery charge It’s bee spot on. Then I got in it yesterday and had battery light on with ignition. Went out the second i touched the throttle. Drove. Within 15 seconds three amigos... here we go again.... Then won’t pull. SRS, fuel light, every electrically...

Oh and some other miscellaneous things like track rods (cable tied...) .... it may as well be done right if it’s got it’s innards out....

So that was expensive... LUK clutch and flywheel and cylinders bell VCU (reminds me, must send other one back to Bell) Brake pipes OEM quality Discs and pads Pierburg Fuel pump and Mahle filter New wheel bearings (garage who supposedly replaced one in July may well not have done, which is...

Thank you. I now have a boot full of bits. Got married, went on honeymoon and came back, jumped in and then.... clutch to floor... the slave cylinders leaking. So that’s beyond me. Anyone have a good reliable specialist who will do clutch Slave/master/flywheel Fuel pump And stick a new VCU...

Thanks guys. As a question, for a replacement pump and filter, is that it, or is there a gaskets and seals kit that’s needed as well? And is there a balance between a cheap pattern part and an OEM (or is there an alternative quality aftermarket supplier.).

Ah. Thank you. The 280k was at idle. Does it make a difference? She’ll run up to 3.9k now. And then I get a flash of EML which goes out as soon as I lower the revs below peak.

Thanks guys So we stuck battery on trickle charge. Restarted perfectly when battery full. Quarter of a second of turning over then fired. Low pressure fuel pump pressure 280 plus consistently. You can hear it prime for 30 seconds. Fault code left and showing same issue as before p1260 ...

hello (2004 facelift td4 manual) Ok, so now I am being told I really should have bought a Suzuki..... shame as it’s be. Running beautifully. It even now has working AC and a soft top. I have three amigo lights on. Isoft says it’s rear wheel speed sensor issue ( I have one so when I have a...

Is there not a poster on here printing them? IIRC, because of lockdown he only had white, but would be making black ones later.....
