Thanks for the replies so far, gentlemen. Right, so today I have done the following: - replaced the little hose near the turbo. Old one was still fine, as were the hose clips. Not a job I’m in any rush to do again! - changed the intercooler. Some of the fins were a all bent, but no obvious...

Yep, that’s exactly what I’m doing - starting where air enters the vehicle, and checking every step up to the turbo. Even though my MAF sensor *looks* okay, I’ve ordered another one just in case. Will fit that when it arrives next week. Today, I managed to get as far as replacing the little...

This is PRECISELY why in posting here! I don’t want to fit a new turbo if it’s not necessary, but I’m just trying to work out if there’s anything I might have missed that I could check! MAF has been unplugged several times! Is there a test to see if it’s working correctly? The little wire...

I’ve got an ‘05 D3 TDV6 which I’m preparing for overland use (it was on the front cover of LRO a couple of months ago. It’s wanted for nothing, and has been faultless in the 4 years I’ve owned it, but I’ve done loads of preventative maintenance. Just come back from a week around Northumberland...

I’m looking for a suitable base vehicle for a project that will be used for overlanding. Doesn’t have to be perfect, but very good to excellent condition is a must. Must be manual. Bonus points if it’s silver! I’m looking at a couple at dealers at the moment, but would prefer to buy from an...

There were some things I thought could have been explained in more detail. I wasn’t 100% sure what a “wastegate actuator” was....so maybe more info in identifying parts. I had no idea where to look for the ACE unit to look for leaks, for example. I spent a bit of time fiddling with the ORM...

Thank you for this. This forum seems much more supportive and helpful than the various FB groups.

Right, I’ve joined a couple of Discovery groups on Facebook - they aren’t especially helpful. I’m getting rather frustrated with this. I’m being told it has no MOT, so (somehow) is worth maximum £500. When I explained that the dealer will be attending to the reasons for it failing its MOT (by...

Sorry for all the random “is this a good buy” posts (in various forums) but if it’s not a Defender, I’m out of my depth, and could use a hand. Nice looking D2 near me, 93k miles...but I don’t know if the price is steep, and the list of things from the MOT checker, whilst a bit long, mostly seem...

Theres a lovely looking L322 near me - 112k miles, but what to me seems like quite a good price - £3600. It failed an MOT a couple of weeks ago, but has since been repaired, for “Nearside Front Subframe mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength...

Going to give it a miss! Spoke to my LR specialist garage today about it, and he said steer clear. I’ve trusted him completely for almost 15 years now, so I’m walking away from this vehicle.

A 4.6 (Bosch, I think they said?) Vogue has come up on my FB marketplace feed...looks brilliant, like it’s only ever been used as an Essex town car, and not a whiff of off road, or having led a hard life. However, it’s got 176k on it. They’re asking £1800, but I’d get that lower. With this...

I’ve just sent you a PM.

Thank you for these pictures. Where is it located exactly? Have you got more pictures....like side on/rear/interior etc. Trying to make a judgement if it’ll be right for me, before committing to a journey to view it.

Is this still available? Where are the pics?

Is this roof rack still available?

I thought that might be the case! It was only a bit damp on the terminals of the speaker and the connectors on the wires...but does this mean my whole speaker is likely to be toast? Will there be any other area damaged perhaps? So if I can get a new speaker to fit (I noticed the LR one was not...

I got a couple of jobs done today: Fitted a new Sony double DIN head unit. Whilst the handbrake surround and centre console was off, gave it a good old clean in all those hidden areas - there was tons of crap in there! I gave all the switches a clean and went around all the switch housing with...

I fitted a new double DIN head unit today, and noticed when testing it that the drivers door speaker isn't working. I was hoping that a wire had just come loose, but when I pulled the panel off, the connectors to the speaker were damp. I have a child's knowledge when it comes to anything...

Been a productive day. Fitted a set of five Geolandar A/T G015 tyres - apparently these are replacements for G012's. I also purchased a Synergy 2A and a Pierburg MAF and managed to get that fitted too. I still need to neaten it up a bit by cable tying everything in place, but I just jammed...
