Thanks I am a bit dyslexic and obviously too much home brew

There are 2 body mount parts, NCR5665 and 6951, which are attached to the rear outriggers - do I need both? (The originals are so rusted, I cannot recognise them). Plus, I have a new rear cross member pre-threaded to take my adjustable tow bar. The threads look coarse, does anyone know the part...

Nice shiny Jim Armit! Have fun and welcome.:)

Thanks Wimblowdriver! Have a good day :)

Hi Lightning, Thanks for the advice but as you can see it was a faulty Heat exchanger - much cheaper! Took the mechanic a long time to find it though - most perplexing and frustrating!.

Hi Scooby22, Well we have been scratching our heads for so long and just about to order a new head but at least my mechanic continued as he was not convinced it was a cracked! OK I have had to pay his labour but at least I have saved the cost of the head. Plus for all you landy peeps it may be...

Hi all, Just in case you haven't seen my thread of cracked cylinder head. I thought I would post this as it may be useful to some of you in tracking down cause of white smoke. It all pointed to a cracked cylinder but the mechanic tested it with a coloured dye and no leaks through the chambers...

Hi all and especially to the members that replied on this thread, big thank you for all the advice. The mechanic has found the problem - not a cracked cylinder head but a faulty Heat exchanger - whereby the coolant and the exhaust gases were mixing in the exhaust and creating a rather lot of...

Hi Hicap phill, Well we live near Pontivy Sounds great Hicap hill! If you are coming to Pontivy then let me know. Would love to see your vehicles - you could drop by our watermill if you are in the area?

Well after a long time - injector seals and new head gasket with metal dowels replaced but still billowing white smoke. Next step is new cylinder head unless you guys have any more ideas? How much more money do I have to throw at it - aaaaaagh! Mechanic mentioned that we could potentially...

Sad to hear of your wife's illness and understand. Yes the Bretons are one of a kind probably similar to the Cornish. But love them and the life here. Frustrating sometimes when you cannot do something really quickly but I keep reminding my husband that this is what we came for the quiet pace of...

Hi Frenchdame, Sad you sold up? We love it here have been in France over 10 years and presently renovating a watermill. Yes know of James.

Hi also a bit late to reply from me but south of Pontivy, Morbihan. I have a Classic Range Rover 3.9 Vogue 1990 and Defender 2.5tdi as per photo. Love Landrovers and happy to see other folks that feel the same.

Thanks Neilly, I think he does but have noted. Cheers.

Thanks Neilly, Is it just referred to as crank sensor?

Thank you so much Oldseadog! Will fill you in when I have heard back from Ian next week sometime. :)

Just watched the above video on You Tube and it helped me understand the fuel system a little bit more. A couple of things I noted in watching was: check fuel hoses check pressure regulator - as rough running when engine idle - could be a cause. Fuel coolant - I think one of you mentioned the...

Hi Guys, Have just been listing all the comments on this thread and basically the below is the list I shall give to Ian the Mechanic on Monday to check: Check injector seals and washers Check injector harness Check diesel return valve in Fuel filter Check fuel filter and fuel filter housing...

Hi Lightning, I do not know but will put on the check list for the mechanic. Thanks for the input.

Hi again Shippers, Over 2017 have been flinging money at the Defender and we could probably have bought a good 2nd hand car! I have never owned a brand new car; always preferred the classics and my RRC V8 3.9 1990 (named Eddie after Absolutely Fabulous) is one of my loves. She has problems too...
