Just renewed Insignia with Adrian Flux. Landy 110 will have to wait. I do like the FlexDrive option. Very handy T

I already have my Insignia and the wife's Cayenne with you!!

So I spot a lovely looking Defender 110 TD5 Hard Top and think what a great addition it would be. I've spent the morning ringing round and the cheapest quote I had was £480 for a one-off payment. This is for a second vehicle. Sureterm Direct who have had lots of business from me over the years...

I got all my parts off Lee at Adventure 4x4 when I did my HG apart from the HG kit itself which I got from Turner Engineering. It's a good set up that place and I always use him to do the jobs I can't easily do on my drive T

Depends where you are maybe, but I have used these on Fords before now http://www.feather-diesel.co.uk/contents09/contact/contact.php T

IIRC it limits RPM not speed per se. Reckon max at around 50 mph T

Twisted 'O' rings or else a cracked head I would say T

Why would a 'Good' garage check for a cracked cylinder head by eye? Does the fuel pump stop running after about 3 mins with ignition in pos 2 without starting the engine? If not then it is leaking past the injector seals I would say. If not then probably a cracked head If mine 'ran away' I...

I also used my oil can as a means of getting engine oil into the essential bits before turning engine over T

As Shifty said they are E14 for the head bolts. Make sure you get 1/2" drive version along with a decent 1/2" Torque Wrench Cheers T

I had LR nylo ones first and these tore/split over 18 months. Now have the heavy duty Britpart ones on the front and the seem great. So that's 2 Britpart items on my motor, which is probably enough :) T

Something like this PC99-X30 Landrover Discovery Stalk Adaptor Lead Stereo on eBay (end time 17-Mar-11 15:54:26 GMT)

There is no harm in cleaning the wire as part of routine servicing, but it has never helped me fix a troublesome one on any car. I would get the Isopropyl Alcohol Aerosol from somewhere like Maplins - Worth a shot T

No worries :)

As Pastmaster says check gasket thickness and replace like-for-like only. If you look at the front of the cylinder head on the RHS you will see the head gasket thickness indicator sticking out. It should have either 1, 2 or 3 small round holes. I got my head gasket kit from Turner Engineering...

I would be calling HMRC / VoSA for advice. Better to get it sorted now rather than trying to stop them seizing your motor if you get dipped Tony

Got one from Paddocks in Oct 2010 - No problems so far I took mine out from top as I had rad out for HG replacement anyway. Not hard to do really. Make sure you fit new 'o' rings and use the right fluid T

Just to add. Do not be tempted to use K-Seal or Rad-Weld type products. Both these products ****ed my thermostat and caused the engine to overheat with 10 mins of adding it. T

There is no definitive test for HG failure on the TD5 which does make it a little frustrating. Even my local LR specialist told me on at least 6 seperate occassions that my HG was sound. I personally replaced the following items before doing the HG replacement: Water Pump Expansion Tank Cap...
