Well... A while back I changed the door hinges as it was intolerable trying to live with the door having sagged so much. The whole bottom of the door frame needs replacing, but that's a job for another day. Today I greased the swivels and changed one of the rear wheel bearings. Lost my...

Well, the post yielded a new harmonic balancer, so I fitted it today. I must say, having the proper tools for jobs like this just makes everything so much easier. The pulley holder/brace thing and the timing kit with puller meant the whole job took next to no time at all. Next, I moved on to the...

Have put it all back together, reconnected intercooler, filled the rad up, cranked and cranked and it finally sputtered into life... sort of. Idle is extremely lumpy and there is tons of smoke coming from the exhaust (a leak in the exhaust isn't helping matters much as the engine bay fills with...

arrrghhhh... missed the delivery for the replacement external crank pulley (This one is more than a little tired and is also dented along one side). Will see if they re-deliver tomorrow.

I bought it from ebay, think it may have been the same ad as this: LAND ROVER 300tdi CRANK ANTI ROTATION LOCKING TOOL for PULLEY REMOVAL LRT 12 080 | eBay A mate of mine came round with his breaker bar, which turned out to be the same as my one. You could see it bending a lot under the...

Well, some progress at least. Today I removed the front panel, rad, and intercooler to get at the crank pulley. No chance I would have been able to get the puller/holder bolts in otherwise, would have been a whole load of faff. Got the holder on, and..... Can't get the bloody crank pulley nut...

Oh yeah, just looked at it on the big screen and you're right. Maybe it is an oil can tip then!

Its the injector housing! My friend realised. Look at this pic, 2nd one to the front has been replaced at some point, guess the old one was dropped into the engine

Yeah it's been chewed up as well. I just don't recognise it from anywhere. The only time I've had the rocker cover off since I got the car was to do the gasket. Cheersen! The brand is MICRA, originally made for trucks as a storage locker (has the brushes in the hinge gap as well) - everyone...

Anybody.... Anybody..... Bueller? ....... Bueller?

Pulled the rocker cover off, took rocker shaft out, and this thing was sitting under it, just loose. Any ideas what it is? Pushrods all look straight. Rockers all intact. Makes me wonder about the diagnosis. Hmmm.

Thanks mate, to be honest I didnt want to risk it so will see how the bearmach ones shape up. The price difference was only about 20 quid so not too bad.

So, after having a new high pressure power steering hose fitted (old one was corroded and spraying everywhere) all was pretty swell. Unfortunately the timing belt snapped on saturday while on the dual carriageway. Luckily I managed to roll up to my house, where it still is while I wait for...

Did a pretty mammoth 1,021 mile round trip to Scotland and back this weekend to retrieve my Pulsar (my friend is going to use it over winter) - amazingly after 2 years we put the battery leads back on and it started straight away! Bender was pretty great, really stable and providing you got the...

Thanks guys, guess I will wait and see! And thanks LandyPilot, I do need to DA the whole thing and repaint though as it's getting a bit scraggy. Turned the pressure washer on it recently and it took a load of bubbly paint off

So.... A landy-orientated garage has opened near me, and informed me that my straight through exhaust system will knacker my turbo due to lack of back pressure. Whilst it has been an intention of mine to fit a silencer (yes, the exhaust sounds cool as anything, but the sheer volume of it is...

No worries dude :) Still for sale!

Great, could you PM me your mobile number please?

yep sounds fine by me, when I'm on the way back would be good, so that might be thursday evening or friday daytime?

I'm working in harrogate next week if thats any help?
