My old head is in my scraps trailer. Given Mark is in France it'd probably be quicker and cheaper to just get the kit off eBay.

He's talking about the hole in the head it screws into. The bit you hope is flat.

It is up behind the glovebox. There's a trim panel under the glovebox that has those weird ribbed plastic nails with washers. Pull them out and it should be visible underneath. I cannot remember what I did now but I think it just screws to the bulkhead with two screws. By the time it is in your...

Still here and still driving around with fingers crossed. Thought you had been quiet for a while. Have you gone Jap?

Fixed that for you, unless you were freefalling from a Herc.

I can hear every note from every instrument under the bonnet. One out and I touch cloth.

440 on the P38A.

Pretty sure you hear the pumps.

Might be the thermostatic expansion valve. If that's faulty it can over pressurise and vent to atmosphere. I got one from some aircon place and it took about 10 minutes to fit. Got the garage to empty it, swapped the valve then got them to regas it. Valve is on the bulkhead iirc.

Think that's WABCO D not C and I also have a suspicion they may have fixed it in an update.

Never thought of that. Bit surprised it did anything as it has enough oil going through it.

One of the new neighbours asked if there was a car-park behind my house and how to access it. Had to explain they were all mine.

Fixed that for you.

I think I would be looking at map pipe or inlet gaskets next. Possibly the intercooler itself as RRDT suggested.

That's the only way I know. Worn teeth on the mechanism might mess it up.

Strangely that doesn't do anything in practice. @300bhp/ton runs oversize tyres.

Hose delaminating inside? Any black smoke? That heat shield under the intercooler inket all good?

Or shear it off. Oh wait. That was gearbox, wasn't it?!

Anyone owning a Land Rover is suspect. Owning two, particularly a non-runner pretty much seals it. Every extra Land Rover after that is just an indication of the level of insanity.

Possibly. Old lift pumps had a non-return valve built in. Later ones don't so I fitted one just after the fuel filter.
