I keep nothing in the car but a big and a small shifter, I never venture far from home. At home I have a set of spark plugs, a fan belt, fuel filter, bulbs and fuses, a battery and air bag

I've never noticed that it was the same land rover twice in get carter. A few of episodes of the professionals and minder feature range rovers as the baddies choice of vehicle. Nearly every episode of hearbeat has a landy in it.

What's the worst that could happen, take the difficult bolt out first and see how it goes from there.

They also said that the classic was the best one ever made and the brand new one was runner up.

With a big job like a clutch your as well fitting genuine or oem parts. It will save you a lot of grief

People in diesel audi's and bmw's who sit up my arse and then overtake on a blind corner only to run out of steam when they see the lorry on the other side and then have to swerve in front of me

Would it be possible to weld a smaller diameter bolt onto the sheared stud and then get it out with a spanner. Just a few tacks with a mig welder

Probably going to need a new alternator

I've only used one britpart thing and it will be the last. Replaced the tailgate struts on my P38 with britpart ones. Only a tenner for the pair and not much to go wrong with gas struts. Lasted for a couple of days before one snapped

Left a note to the tester saying not to lock the P38 because it had a bad battery drain and the immobilser kept coming on

It was an Esso actually, i think i'll just have to buy the reciever i cant keep filling up from a jerry can and leaving the car unlocked the whole time.

Probably the brakes sticking. Might be worth stripping them down and having a look, clean and grease things up and replace bits if needed

Stick an air jet in the hole where the pipe goes and keep your hands well clear.

If it's the track rods ends that are knackered then it would be a replacment track rod that's required. You will also need to get the wheel alignment done. You can get it as near as possbile using a tape measure then go to a garage to get it checked.

Raise all 4 wheels and then get someone to drive the car whilst you stand with your ear very close to the wheel until you find which side it is coming from. Shake the wheels and feel for play or use a lever under the wheels to check for play. You could just be lazy and wait for the noise to...

Opened the door, if the interior lights come on i know my battery hasn't drained again.
