I'll try and compare to stock ones and see if there is any difference.

Moved all his stuff out and his ex coming for more cash?

Remember @Slooby ? https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/a-series-of-faults.371050/ He’s getting rid of the lot for pennies. Spares tools vehicle the lot. Dawn sawf

Christ! they've gone up, iirc mine was £138 mind, it was 2012.

The n57 has plastic timing chain tensioners annd are not as good. Without very regular oil changes with proper, expensive oils they fail

Fitted the Hella horns. Seem to work OK.

The nuts on the diff to housing joint had a habit of coming loose on one of mine. A good clean and Locktite eventually fixed it.

Was that an engine fully up to temperature idling?

Took it for a quick spin to Tesco. Never had so much anxiety in my life! Eyes spent more time on the temp gauge then they did on the road. Temp looked to be sitting nicely in the middle when I arrived home: First run in a few months and...

Week later update... Fitted a new rad and very slowly refilled the coolant (well just plain water at the moment), and let it run. 15 minutes later, engine still running, and temp looks like it's sitting in the middle: I didn't let it run any...

The cables will be on full stretch to get it in.

I only payed the price of the MF31:D

Looks like my rotary coupler (or spiral cassette) is on the way out. Anyone seen the prices?! More than some cars cost!

Hospital rang yesterday to say all my test results are fine even blood test cancer count low. So as a reward took the old gal for a spin onto the Pennines and called for a spot of pub lunch. :) :)

Doubt it will help. Water has definitely been getting into my front diff somehow and pretty sure I used Copper grease last time I had the hubs out.

I had a couple of 530d E39s and they were both brilliant, only issue I had was a MAF on of them aside from that absolutely nothing. I will concede that the 530i was my favourite though, less torque, less fuel economy but far and away a better...

Good evening everyone, it has been raining for 5 days now, today I dared to put my hand under the carpet. it's all dry!!!! I am very satisfied! Thank you for your support!!!

Top candidates: RF interference After market stereo Headlight wipers not parking correctly Sticky ignition switch not popping out all the way. Clear out with electrical contact cleaners, blow out with air and then a quick puff of graphite powder.

Dixie!

If #4 is acting up, try unplugging it. I think it will run on default values off the crank sensor.

Yep. Much better battery in my opinion.

Fault hasn't recurred since I cleared it. Hoping it was just a gremlin.

I always fit NGK plugs and I've never had an issue. I'd recommend not to buy Champion plugs as their quality is terrible in my experience.

I never found any there. I have a mystery leak on the driver's side and I suspect it is that rear window, right at the top near the roof. I think the glass bond is leaking.

Your motor is a wind-up artist.

I think you can see what I am thinking but those horns take up a lot of space. There's just about room behind the fuel filter and above the chassis leg. Need to make up a bracket to attach the arm to the bulkhead. Compressor will sit inside the ring.

Hmm. MPG was underestimating slightly since i changed the value in the config.. it's now slightly over estimating again!!

Update on the camper tyre saga.. My friend has had the tyre fitter out 5 times now.. 5 times they brought the wrong tyre!! This is tyres on the drive/halfords

Done a lot of towing today helping someone move house. Performed flawlessly.
