Has anyone done this? How difficult is it? I have seen a video of the intake manifold removal which seems like a pain because of all the things to detach, but it doesn't seem that difficult if you have patience lol. However, I can't seem to find a video specifically regarding the fuel rail...

I’m planning to replace the oil cooler on my L322 4.4 TDV8 and wanted to check if anyone here has done it before. I’ve heard it can be a bit tricky due to access issues. Any tips on what to watch out for? Do I need to remove the intake manifold completely, or is there a way around it? Also, any...

Glad to hear it passed! For the noise in third gear, check the gearbox oil level first. If it’s fine, the issue could be with the synchros or bearings. After that, focus on the differential oil, engine service, and auxiliary belts as planned.

Looking on auto traders at older cars, often one owner examples, and they are described as having "Full-Service History" only if you look a bit further into it, it had 8 services in 20 years. I get it that it is probably a full recollection of the service history for the car, but can a service...

Looking for community reference on what the best exterior outdoor year-round car cover is. Looking for decent fit/non scratch/water/wind resistant. I do have a very large duckbill wing on the trunk however. Thoughts? Can't seem to trust anything i see on ebay/amazon because they all look generic...

It sounds like finding a reliable mechanic for your 1988 3.5L V8 Defender is challenging. You may want to look for a Land Rover specialist or a classic 4x4 mechanic in the Norfolk area. Try asking on Land Rover forums or local 4x4 clubs for recommendations. You could also look for a mobile...

Is there any other oil, beside Zf Lifeguard Fluid 8, you can suggest me? I've seen many that seem suitable for our Jag, but would like to know what you think

Given how Land Rovers depreciate and my intention not to keep the vehicle for more than three years, I would appreciate your insights on my reasoning. If I choose to finance the vehicle, there's a significant risk that I could end up owing more than it's worth when it's time to sell, especially...

All of the sudden both key fobs stopped working. any suggestions? Is there a fuse that controls it? Both key fobs show the little red light flasshing when a button is pushed so I do not think it is the battery. everything in the truck seems to be working fine. I did have a little rain get into...

I'm thinking of doing an oil change on my 2002 TD5 90. I have the space, time and tools and was wondering if It's a relatively easy job or is it fiddly and best left to the pro's? Any advice and/or piccies would be really appreciated.

I am selling my Getz to a work colleage as soon as it passes its MoT test which is booked for Saturday coming. I had the car checked over and all it needs for the test is two tyres on the front. The cheapest new tyres I have found fitted are £36 each (£72 for pair). However there is a plce...

Some clean air zones were cancelled and some went ahead, such as Bradford. Will those cancelled clean air zones be brought back with the help of bayareafastrak, it would be a bizarre situation if some areas have them and some not, although perhaps London is a case on its own. Can these schemes...

Checked the oil yesterday, she's got 5200 on the clock now, and has had one oil change at 1500. OLM indicates it has 56% remaining and the oil level needed about 1/2 - 2/3 of a qt. Is everybody else seeing similar oil consumption? Motor was hot, and had been shut down for 5 minutes. I'm a daily...

my fuel tank has fallen prey to rust at its lowest point. It is leaking, not a lot, but I know its there and will only get worse. I am using Ethanolmate now, but the damage was done in the previous ownership. Is there any patent cure for this, some additive to pour in, like a petrol tank version...

What's the best and cheapest source for OEM accessories?
