If it didn't leak it wouldn't be a proper one

So, WTF is the score with this? Does it work now?

Bollocks to waving. I've old series, disco 2 and new defender and only get waved at in the series and defender. Why should a model make a difference? On my bike I will nod at all, even Harley riders and mostly get a nod back.

Mine is always in the same spot, at the bottom because it's broken In all seriousness they are so delayed that when they are at the top it can be too late.

You mean fitting it back in? If so a little bit needs to be trimmed from the seal to allow it to be inserted.

I hope production doesn't end this week as I've been given a build date of 12th Feb for mine!!!!!!

It must be Friday night, after beer o' clock :) :p

Can you elaborate? This has been sealed everywhere, I'm passing on 2nd hand information from the chap that's doing the work for me (and no I'm not paying him, so he's no reason to steer me the wrong way) :)

Hi, We've come across a bit of a snag removing an engine from an ex military winterised LR. It seems that the engine and gearbox are bonded together with some magical sealant that is resistant even to brute force and ignorance! Does anyone have any knowledge about what these units are bonded...

I too have had the 'grinding' type noise, seemingly only when the left wheel is dropped off a kerb or similar. Lots of googling seemed to indicate that if the TC itself is working, it's best left alone. (Disclaimer, this is based on lots of other opinions, I cannot offer definitive fact, however...

Good man :) Herts or Beds region?

Oh, and Bettsy64, members of Herts GLASS are very active around the lanes and plan regular trips, including bank holiday weekend to exotic places such as Yorkshire and Wiltshire, worth joining.

Be there tomorrow. It's looking like a good show. I seem to have got the bug since buying one of these Land Rover thingies last November, already bought a Series 2A for personal use and 3 others for restoration :) p.m. me if you're up there tomorrow, can shake hands and grab a cuppa.

And don't forget to check the chassis :) Also, the sills at the bottom of the body, they can rust

Under a plastic housing at the front right of the vehicle (or left if you're looking at it from the front). ECU is a large metal housing, you'll see the connector sticking out.
