AHA! A bit more googling and found the info here... https://www.arbil.co.uk/Assets/User/5848-OME%20INT%2028.2%20MAY%202013.pdf Pin and thread size varies a bit between the different shock absorbers.

Hi all... Does anyone know what the thread is on the bottom pin connection of an OME shock absorber? The nut seems to be 3/4", but I'm not sure if it's an imperial or a metric thread... No idea what's standard in Australia. I've googled but can't find any online info on this. Reason I ask is...

No facilities at all, working on my concrete drive amongst the cat poo. I thinks what I'll do is totally disassemble one side and see how bad that is and how long it takes, then take a view as to whether to complete that side with all its separate painting first, or just go for it and do the...

Thanks both, that's reassuring. Propshaft is still on, but I'll wedge some blocks under the nose of the diff just in case. I will let you know how I get on.

I'm doing a suspension refurb and have replaced back springs. Shock absorbers are currently off the vehicle, which gives good access to the trailing arms. Both trailing arm chassis bushes are knackered and the chassis mountings are heavily rusted. I want to remove the trailing arms and treat...

Thanks guys. I've now got a roll of Flashband on order and a couple of tubes of tiger seal... Will report back in due course. If that doesn't work I'm going to go with chequer plate and rivets. ATB, M

OK, I've had the headlining out twice, have replaced the seals, have siliconed copiously, I've studied (and contributed to some of) the previous threads on here about this, I'm now totally fed up of these stupid sunroofs. Does anyone do a kit to totally remove them, and replace them with a...

Just in case you didn't know and hadn't found it there is a Series II owners club http://www.series2club.co.uk/public_pages/index.php with some knowledgeable people on there (not to say that LandyZone isn't full of knowledgeable members!). Looks a very nice vehicle; I frequently regret selling...

Thanks, it's all sorted now. M

Hopefully final update on this. Garage checked fuel sedimenter (again) and found nothing wrong (again) and then replaced the fuel pump. Starting was immediately restored to first flick of the key and the power problems resolved. Coolant header tank was also replaced; garage say they've had to...

Right, I thought I'd post an update on this saga and would welcome anyone's further thoughts... The fuel solenoid was replaced by the garage in June, and made no difference to the starting (the engine hasn't run on after being turned off since though, so maybe a new one did some good). Having...

Hello, many thanks all. Yet again this forum proves its worth! Until now I knew nothing about fuel solenoids, but I can see how if it was sticking it would produce exactly the problems I'm experiencing. I've been out to have a look and mine is the black plastic security box version, with the...

Hello, I'm hoping some of you with knowledge and wisdom can help me sort out what is wrong with my 1998 300tdi. For the last couple of months it has been increasingly difficult to start; the starter turns over fine but the engine is very reluctant to fire. When it does cough into life it then...

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread. But, having removed the clock and coin tray as above, can anyone tell me if the wiring loom is flexible enough to allow the positions of the clock and coin tray to be reversed, so the clock is on the passenger side of the heater controls? Are there any...

Also check that all doors open by using handles inside and out; beware the tiny door lock spring of doom. :)

I think the double skin roof is known as a 'safari roof'. Photos would help with identification and valuation...

Hi, does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere so that you can store copies of sent messages in your sent items box by default? At the moment I've got to remember to tick a box on each pm I send, and I keep forgetting, which means I can't see pms I've sent. Thanks, M.

Looks like a good idea. Add me to your list for making up the 50. :) M

Surprised you bothered getting a key cut, any tea-spoon will do. :( M

Thanks, I'll get the hose to it, but that's not going to happen today. Will add to this thread when I've tried that. (Car wash day? It's not a proper land rover if you wash it. :) )
