Thanks, in the end I gave it several coats of Raptor and used plastic washers under screws.

Check your battery make sure its fully charged or not ancient, when my 3.9 had been standing for a while it is sometimes difficult to start, there appeared to be only intermittent spark. I replaced coil , amp, distributer, leads and plugs(seeing as i'd changed everything else) still no good...

Hi just about to replace front wing, how do I isolate it to stop the electrolysis? I have plastic washers to isolate the screws. When i removed the original there wasn't much between the wing and the inner wing along the top. All that there remained was tiny pieces of some material near the...

I had a cracked cylinder wall that did that. Water was disapearing but no mayo in oil finally started to leave vapor trails when hot

looks like there is a problem on even (OS) fueling /lambda sensor. Is an injector just pushing fuel through?

Has anybody got an OS front wing near Dartford Kent. Can anyone tell me if the wings are the same as a D2 mines the later 300tdi shape Just noticed they have lip around arch. Just in case would they fit? Thanks

The Diagnostic plug give access to other ECU's ABS SRS etc but uses JLRs own protocols.

I had very rich running on my 3.9 and it failed test off the scale and exhaust smelt of petrol. Mine turned out to be a blown fuse in the engine bay which supplies power to O2 sensors. Just incase you are not aware the D1 is not OBDII compliant so a "normal" code reader wont connect. The ECU...

Also replace brake fluid, it sounds like it has absorbed water adding to problem.

The reason that the parking switch is a feed and then is connected to earth is that when the motor gets to homet it shorts out the motor windings. This action stops the motor like a brake. If it was to just disconnect the power occasionally when the motor came to park, inertia in the motor could...

I had early D1 that kept stalling when cold, it turned out that was blocked. Fixed it stone dead.

Update....they are imperial bolts the same size as seat belts anchors etc.

If the bonnet lock is free then the cable is probably rusty/sticking and not returning completely and leaving lock only just engaging. Release from lock and make sure it's free to move easily.

You could use "rivnuts" instead, m4 should be plenty big enough. You could then paint the holes
