    Hammerite or Waxoyl?

    I did contemplate hammerite on the chassis then Waxoyl on everything but was dubious about preventing the Waxoyl from having direct contact with the metal & doing its wonderful work. Plus I wouldn't be able to paint top of chassis. I did the hammerite & Waxoyl thing on my first disco in 1997...

    TD5 no cold air from air con

    Hello, i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Set digital display to LO, both sides, but only get warm air. If i raise the temperature on digital display, air remains warm with no change until it gets to HI, then you get REALLY hot air con seems to be charged, so not sure whether...

    The old girl wont start for ages when turning over

    As I was short on time when he was giving me the info could it have been low pressure at or from the FIP, would that make more sense?

    The old girl wont start for ages when turning over

    Right the next chapter,took it to see Mark (who came highly recommended to me by a fellow Land Rover owner) & plugged it in, it flags up low fuel pressure in FIP. Fitted in tank pump as we agreed it wouldn't hurt to try & help things out a bit due to the fact I already had a new pump. It doesn't...

    Groaning TD5

    Just wondered if anyone knew what the groaning noise might be that comes from behind the centre dash / bulkhead area on start up, every time hot or cold. Also there's a whirring noise from that direction, probably nearer to cabin area than 'the 'groan', I thought it might be connected to heater...

    The old girl wont start for ages when turning over

    Hi all, yep the pump is shoving quite a bit more than 180ml fluid through, not sure about the glow plugs, (£ 40ish?) i've probably had them a couple of years, I try to keep a set in hand as well as plenty of filters & other stuff, for all the motors in my care so not sure. Out of interest is...

    Well all I can say for starters can't see how you have bodged the filter pipe unless you have bypassed the filter completely . I would suggest getting a second hand filter housing for starters to insure no air is getting in . Plugs don't last forever Especially cheap ones and you already have an...

    The old girl wont start for ages when turning over

    Hi everyone, I must firstly apologise, I did try to introduce myself, but didn't realise I'd cocked it up somewhere & it hadn't uploaded. I will address that in a moment. Thanks for all the advice, here's more car info : It's a circa 1995 car, (the circa is due to it having a chequered...

    The old girl wont start for ages when turning over

    I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this for me. I've had 'Olive' for about 12 years, during this time i've sorted most of her issues out but I'm running out of ideas with this. In order to make sure she starts, warm or cold, unless it's within a couple of minutes, I need to turn it over...
