Could it not be that the leak was caused by someone getting the timing cover bolts mixed up and winding in one that was too long forcing it through the end of the bolt hole or causing a crack there allowing the oil to find it's way out ?

Why is it that if you knock over a tin of paint on concrete it's there for all time, but if you paint a concrete floor it wears off ? I painted my garage floor about ten years ago with red floor paint from B&Q. It's still OK on the areas that I don't walk on and where stuff is stacked on it...

All is not lost. There's still probably not another disco with them letters etched on it so parts can still be identified as yours, but write yourself a list of all the parts marked and note where the marks are on the part. On my Series, I etched the headlamps, and instrument glasses as well...

Yes, please post it for me as I am unable to get on Landywatch these days. Thank you.

Seen at 06-10 this morning in Birmingham. A medium to large silver car, possibly a BMW being driven at speed, closely followed, ( with less than 2 car lengths between them ) by a very shiny black 90 truck cab with black wheels. It's the sort of thing you see when road rage and the vehicle...

I don't suppose you are related to Indian Larry the famous motor cycle customer who died after falling from his bike at a show when he was riding the bike no-handed standing up on the saddle. A great loss to the world of motorcycle customising.

As you know part of the MOT requires the tester to verify the Vin number, what's he going to think if he sees the Vin has been tampered with ? The law requires that every vehicle must have a Vin number. The DVLA send out inspectors who drop in unannounced on MOT stations to check that the...

Once a vehicle has been allocated a 'Q' plate you will not be able to transfer any other number on to it. DVLA have the Vin numbers of all Q plated vehicles and will not allow it.

Oh... yes, you're quite right. Just shows how long it's been since I took a headlamp apart. LOL

I think the scrotes have the edge anyway just by looking for vehicles with little or no security.

I wish people would have the courtesy to reply to your questions on security. It would be a great help to the rest of us knowing what security is effective and prompting us to fit extra security if we already had the same as the stolen vehicle. They want help to find their stole vehicles but...

Don't waste your time trying. I worked at Land Rover 40 years and knew loads of people in senior positions, but was still unable to get a blank Vin plate for my hybrid build. Main dealers will not sell you a blank Vin plate either. Tou will not be able to buy a Vin plate with your Vin already...

Better still, like I did... remove the headlamp screws and the plastic inserts and replace with stainless steel nylock nuts and bolts with the nuts at the back of the headlamp bowl inside the wing. Yes.... I know it's a ball ache when you next need to change a bulb but at least you will...

Looks to me someone started with a 1971 109 station wagon..... kept the tub (old type door latch visible), kept the roof complete with tropical panel though usually would have alpine light glass in it, kept the windscreen (2 piece glass). Fitted 110/90 rear chassis member. The rest of the...

The holes in the Raptor version need more metal removing than yours did to enable the gauges to fit and I seem to remember that the speedo was the worst amount to do. I avoided doing it at the time as I thought I might end up with the holes being on different levels or being over sized or I...
