In all the years I have driven Land Rovers I have only been pulled once. Try a Golf GTI!

As you have said its got hot a good few times, I would be very supprised if the head gasket is still good. They are not that bad to do compared to some that ive done.(DOHC engines). You will need to get an angulator guage or make one up yourself. If you are a competent diy machanic then it...

Ive got a 97 with air con that regularly goes offroad through water and fords etc. Over xmas I had to drive 130 miles and around half way my temp guage started to rise towards the red. Having blown 2 300's before, I backed off and went to the inside lane of the motorway expecting to be on the...

Me and my big mouth:mad: Thought i would makwe a start on replacing my wheel bearings today. Started at 9.30 this morning and only just finished the first one:eek: Had to call on Dan to come up and give me a lift to Rogers to get a seal for the stub axle. Ive left them far too long and that old...

Can somebody PM me deatails about pub meet as I am off and would love to come???

MERRY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL ! HAPPY NEW YEAR AND ALL. DB

At least with what Ime paying for it it dont matter if i break it a few times or put sum more dents in it. I do need to organise a trailer to get it back up here in January if anybody has got one i could borrow or knows somebody who does.

I dont need luck coz Ive got a mate called Kev :lol:

Ive just bought a Range Rover:D 3.9 auto with a sick transfer box and lots of dents with no tax but a few months MOT for £150 :high5: It has been used lots offroad (thats where it will spend most of its life with me) and its gas converted.

Sorry chaps I got the hump ! April time this year I did a head gasket for a guy who used to be my neighbour at my old place and he managed to blow the engine to bits a few weeks later. He has posted on another forum that he thinks it was my fault due to me not having done the gasket properly...

Was it something I said?

Thanks mate, trouble is I am at work on late shift and dont get home till 11.30pm. Gonna try and get it sorted this weekend.

Did learn a valuable lesson tho. To never get involved again ;) Got lots to do with my disco but no time or good weather to do it. I think in future I will keep all my favours for myself then I wont end up in the ****e like I am now. Don't get me wrong, I have earned a few quid doing some of...

NAH! Much more involved than that. 1st I had to rebuild the engine then fit it and make an engine mounting and this that and the other and .............................................................................................Lots of other stuff :frusty:

Recently put a set on my disco and am well impressed. Very good on road even in the ice. Pretty good in light mud on lanes etc. Had bfg AT's before and I would say they are on a par. As far as wear goes ask me again in a year.

Sounds just like what happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I tried everything and eventually found the plipper had a dry joint on the battery terminal. If you can turn it off with the plipper then god knows. I was told to put the ignition switch to position 2 then switch off and disconect the...

KEEP OUT OF IT BIG NOSE ! HA HA.

And its not as if the apperture for the glow plug would give you much of a chance of fishing the bits out is it? I do worry about some of you.................................. If your cock ring slipped off inside the missus you would'nt **** about with crochet hooks to get it out.

Are you serious?????? How the fook do you think you could get all the remains of the glow plug out with anything other than taking the head off ??? I have taken heads off all sorts of engines and its by far easier and cheaper than just taking a chance. I suppose you sceptics would take a...

Personally I check my tyre pressures weekly along with oil level and coolant etc. I was in the tyre trade a few years back and as suggested before it will more likely be the lacquer lifting from the inner bead causing a slight leak. If you really want to find out take 1 of the offending wheels...
