I should buy one. I've got the removable steering wheel, but not the lock. I never really understand why the orange bits come up for sale separately, but they do (sometimes) Anyone want to flog me one? I wouldn't mind the storage mount...

Always thought it odd Land Rover fitted it using two of the head bolts.

As above, the bolt has a tiny hole in it to maintain the internal pressure on the pump. Its non standard. Which stuffs up my usual suggestion of getting a longer bolt and doing a double banjo, as you won't be able to get the bolt longer...

A bit clear tube can help with detecting air drawn in

I think I got about 22mpg out of mine when we spent a week driving about France. 2.8 international engines tgv Mostly motorway, rather than nipping down the shops. I had to spend 17 euros on French diesel. The rest I took with me (cheap...

Order up some banjos in the right sizes and some clear nylon pnumatic hose and make up some fuel lines. I don't mean the whole lot, just bits and pieces. It will let you, very easily, see air ingress etc. Even if you just do the final bit...

Iirc the sender is just a temperature dependant resistor. I think it works by sinking current from the gauge, through the sender, to ground (negative). There's one wire to the sender as it's grounded through the housing / body, back to the...

I didn't refit one when I did the bulkhead, thinning I'd get loads of drain back and I'd have to activate the pump for a while to get any water (this wasn't intentional, I just didn't have th valve) Curiously, the performance seems no different...

Thread revival (via my google search on looking to remove a tip) - Ive been running my 300 on and off (not many miles) for a couple of years now, with a stuck tip. Not many motorway miles, but devon hills on boost. Tip still stuck. Was...

autosparks. but the bulkhead loom is about £1k if your bulkhead loom is salvageable, get it all out of the car, and onto the kitchen (etc) table, with a battery connected up, the bulbs etc in place, and a wiring diagram. go through it all, and...

ps bare in mind that a 300 loom from autosparks is insane money, so look up the costings before you get too carried away

Id go 300 loom, and get blade fuses etc. If you change the headlights to LED (either a drop in bulb in standard housings or all-in-ones) you dont get the heat at the connector. I can see no bonus to keeping the older loom if your going to be...

I just looked it up. M12 fine thread has a 1.25mm pitch. These use a 12x1.0mm thread. So, yes, 12mm but not standard. Again Ali express has the tails. eBay probably does too.

Wanted: Pair of 88" van sides, with small rear windows only (no side windows) I don't care about the paint job at all, but I'd like the metal to be reasonable. I'm at J27 on the M5 (tiverton area) - anyone got a pair close-ish? They seem...

seems to be working again for me now...

Thank you. That's exactly what im getting too. Im guessing that their server is just stuffed, rather than theyve gone bust - if they had gone bust, then the server would (in the short term) still run. Ill see if i cant ring through my order -...

My usual go-to supplier's website isn't working, at least not for me. Is it just me, or is it broke for everyone? Eg - https://www.island-4x4.co.uk/check-strap-channel-britpart-mwc5018-p-24657.html (google is still giving hits but when I click...

If you need the actual tails, you can get them off Ali express (they are an unusual thread, I can't remember the details but I can look it up if you're stuck)

Someone has been posting the same problem on one of the Facebook forums. That's not you, is it?

The cost of landrovers now... Morals aside, would you want to risk loosing the truck for a bit of cheaper fuel? Instead of kerosene blends, maybe just take the time to learn how to run an engine off vegetable oil? On the animal fats topic - I...

Haha... Is that because when you crash you're stuffed with or without air bags? (I have a 110 - I won't take my 5yr old daughter in it as I value her life more than my own)

This doesn't help with your original question, but, if the bulkhead is off, and repaired, really, dont put it back in. Brace the bottom, get it blasted and hot dipped, and youve instantly solved yourself a load of future bother. With regards...

With the updates to the 300 timing chest (moving the lip about etc) the belts last well enough for most that I'm not sure the gears are that desirable? This, coupled with, the lack of real damage when the belt goes (some pushrods and, if you're...
