    Propshaft UJ's. Greasing the spider

    My 90 eats UJ's for breakfast changing them every 6k. I always fit OEM gkn items which seem good quality. Granted it did have a 2" suspension lift until a few months back, not many off road miles though. Why though, every time I come to bloody grease them, does the grease only go into one or...

    Variable hand brake

    Evening all. Finally managed to get round to tackling this job today, had to replace a propshaft UJ on the rear prop too. When I first took the hand brake off, I couldn't see what the issue was, it even looked fairly clean in there too. On further inspection and some time scratching my...

    The 2nd issue with mine as well as earth trouble was also the sender wire, I'm not sure if it was chaffing somewhere on the engine or whatever, but new sender wire. Cleaned all earth's and it's now perfect.

    Is it engine lacquer?

    Thanks a lot chaps. Forgive my lack of knowledge here. I've wired brushed with an electric drill all the alloy parts. They look great. If I leave them bare will they corrode any quicker than how they left the factory? The alloy isn't treated on new items such as water pumps and ancilleries...

    Cylinder head removed and progressing into rebuild

    Mini update Finally lapped the valves in today, started with course grit paste, until the note of the friction changed, repositioned and did this a few time. Then changed to fine grade paste. What do you guys think of this one? Also cleaned up all aluminium engine parts with a wire brush...

    Is it engine lacquer?

    Just in the process of cleaning all my alloy engine parts up with a wire brush in a drill ready for painting. Suprisingly they've cleaned up really well, and i was wondering... What is it that land rover use out the factory to protect the bare aluminium (or the whole engine evem) that...

    Wanted 300tdi crank gear (cambelt)

    Odd request really. I damaged the one I removed the other day. Has anyone got a spare timing belt crank pulley going spare that they want a beer token for? A complete one piece pulley from the modified kit. I know they are available to buy, they are just expensive. And wondered if anyone...

    Cylinder head removed and progressing into rebuild

    Thanks mate that's perfect. To be honest I've been avoiding lapping/grinding them in but that made it look fairly easy. Granted he was only just cleaning them up, but I think that's all mine need in all honesty. This engine has had an EGR for 150k so the inlet bores are a sorry state. Is...

    Cylinder head removed and progressing into rebuild

    Managed to do a little over the weekend. Got the new shells in and resealed the sump with rtv silicon. Hopefully it seals! Cleaned up the valves with a wire brush in a drill as suggested, they all look pretty good with no pitting. Should I also clean the valve seats in the head? Also did...
