    Why are parts so crap these days?

    Well enjoy working on your pride and joy…found the same working on my old pal… a lot of the parts I found were not quite to the same standard as the old stuff…bit of a mine field finding parts. Shop carefully boss. 👍

    Help please

    Hello mate. An F reg would not have had the 300 tdi engine. It might have been fitted in place of the original engine. Probably a diesel 19J 2.5. It might have had a bit of ropey wiring work done on it. If you can get yourself a wiring diagram and give it a good check.

    Beating the Land Rover cold

    I did pal. Actually fitted new ones as I replaced both doors with new ones. The old doors were rotted out. I just wonder if the heater matrix was not of best quality and was not doing the heat exchanging effect very good. Checked every part of the system.

    Beating the Land Rover cold

    Yeah, mobile cold store if you ask me! I’ve got bits of soundproofing/lagging everywhere. Tried every trick in the book to get the beast to warm up(300 tdi 90). Warm air just demists the window…just🤬. I made my peace with the green monster and just accept it’s cold city when on the move…Norfolk...

    If you take the water pump, power steering pump, just unbolt it and push to one side to make room and take the support bracket off you will get down to the p gasket. 2 second job to change. Didn’t take me too long to get down to it. Get a replacement from turners. It’s better than original. Give...

    Hello mate. Good hard sharp tap with the spanner going clockwise to loosen. Maybe lever a piece of wood on one of the other pulleys to stop engine turning. 👍

    Thermostat

    Temp sender is a thermo resistor- need to match it to the engine. Put a new sensor in my 300 tdi and it went off scale. Old one back in just fine. Complicated beasts eh.
