Thanks Kev, that’s a good shout. Could this have happened with the rear crossmember replacement too? The timing of things is just strange!

Thank you so much for the advice above! Really do appreciate it and it's a great list to go off. Could some of the things on that list been caused theoretically by the removal / replacement of the rear cross member when they stripped off the old one and put the new one on? Would they have had...

Hi All Need a bit of Landy Zone therapy with any thoughts / suggestions you might have. TD5 90 - Short Wheel Base / 2003 Just came back from service and MOT last week and rather a large bill including new rear crossmember. Today as I was driving, coming to a halt at the traffic lights and...

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who commented above and for the latest replies! It’s always great to have advice from those who have ‘been there’ and ‘tried it’ - so just wanted to say it’s been very gratefully appreciated! Got the confidence now to give it a go and see how I get on so...

Bonda Primer! Got it - have just found a litre of it on Amazon! Great stuff. 2 or 3 coats of that so that’s the Primer sorted! I think from there with the top coat, we’ll go with a couple of coats of Hammerite just for decoration purposes 😂 I’ll grab the matte one that’s got the primer in it as...

Thanks for this and you did a really great job! Seems like there is another vote there for Bonds Primer. If i was to use Bonds for a couple of coats - which hammerite would you use to paint on? Would it still be the direct to rust one that says it's got primer in it? Would that one be ok to...

Would you say there is any advantage to using primer and then painting - over using something like Hammerite?

It's pretty rusty and looking quite awful! I know it's one of those things that i'm going to have to do quite frequently before replacing it as it's near the end of its life - its just to take the eyes off it a little! Direct to metal paint sounds good - I've heard of quite a few people using...

Hey all Looking to paint the rear crossmember at the weekend to spruce things up a little bit! I don't want to spray it - i'd rather paint it by hand - just personal preference Yes i know it's easier to spray - more time effective - etc - but just personal preference to paint by hand ...

This is a great suggestion!! Thank you! 👌

Hi all Looking at some hacks for keeping the driveway clear of oil on my 90. I was wondering if any of you put anything down on the driveway after you park up - to act as barrier for the oil? ( I know it's a faff - but 5 extra min putting something in place is alot better than a woman scorned...

No different one! Have popped you a DM

Understood - thank you! How do you get it to just allow that last bit of air out? Is it easily accessible so I know what I’m looking for? Is it accessible from the engine bay or underneath? So sorry as very much a beginner on this!

I’m just about to order ATF - ( good old Amazon Prime ) - does anyone have any recommendations? Have attached some pictures of the ones I’ve found!

Hey Turboman! Thanks so much for the reply - this is great to know! I just didn’t want to take it somewhere and for someone to tell me that something needs to be done / changed when it doesn’t - and if I can do it myself then great. I’ve only done the lock to lock right now after that chap...

Hi everyone! It’s so good to be back in the advice corner - you guys are the best and really appreciate it! I have already posted a bit today regarding steering on another post which is getting some replies so thank you - but I’m just hear on this thread to check out some tyre pressure...

Thank you so much for the reply back and your advice! Very new to all of this! Could you tell me a little bit on how to open the bleed nipple on the steering box? I’m so sorry - bit of a newbie on this bit so any advice or help would be gratefully received and appreciated. I’ve done the lock...

I can see two marks on the dipstick - and it’s gone down just underneath the lowest one. It’s been sat on the drive now for a few hours and nothing appears to be leaking that’s pink! 🤔 I did the full lock left and full lock right again - and since the garage topped it up, that god awful noise...

Update : Went out and checked the ATF tank - and its probably gone down by half! I think I only drove it for about an hour after the guy at the garage topped it up! Going to order some ATF pronto and keep checking those levels in the meantime until I can have the pump and box looked over by...
