The Haribo arrived today, you made my daughter very happy :cool: Just hit you up for the next job too 🫣

I just had one arrive from you ;), havent fitted it yet

240k

So anyway, she's back together and running well. Breathes a bit heavy but to be expected for the mileage I guess

I didn't get any britpart 😁The place I got the head from only sells elring gasket sets so I have that

To update this, I have bought a new head as the old one had cracks to the coolant gallery on 3 cylinders, and have got steel dowels. Not even sure if you can buy them plastic ones now. Have checked the length of them and there is over 1.5mm clearance not including the HG

I have done a TDI before and a daf paccar 4cyl, both of which were simpler than this, but this is ok apart from the snapped bolts so far. It's all stripped ready to take to the engineers tomorrow so I'll see what he says. Thinking I may make aluminium dowels then no one will be happy 😁

Well I looked again at the dowels again, I likely broke one but both of them had a link where the head has obviously moved. Next bit of fun, this must be why you don't reuse rocket shaft bolts

Damn I was hoping I'd found the problem 😁

Hi all, I recently picked up a cheap 10P D2 with 240k miles that was pressurising the coolant. From a cold start you could remove expansion tank cap after 5 seconds of running and there would already be a lot of gas to release. So head is now off and I havent cleaned it up yet, but the thing...

:eek:

Starting next repair

I'm not saying they shouldnt have done luxury too, I love a RR as much as anyone

I agree with you. It was cheap for them to keep producing the defender. Not sure I agree they wouldnt be around if they had gone the pickup route. The hilux already had a reputation as unbreakable and reliable when the D1 came out. In an alternate reality Top Gear would have been dropping discos...

The defender was basically ignored since the 90s, aside from engine swaps mostly driven by Euro specs I imagine. Land Rover had no intention of sticking with the workhorse image, else they would have made a D1 pickup which through brand loyalty alone could have stopped the army of japanese pickups

If this is along the lines of "too much electronics, can't hose it out etc" then I think you may be 20 years late on this one. D3/4 are hardly something you chuck a dead sheep in the back of.

As above and don't be tempted with a cheap one, they don't last

Sounds like they may be BSing the height there, else most blokes wouldnt be able to walk through
