As a query how difficult is it to replace engine to gearbox seal as it appears I have leaks around the engine sump and gearbox to engine grrr and as I have it jacked up on stands I really ought to do them as well

The only thing I am replacing that was not at all planned is the front cross member as it turned out to be rotten and cant believe the previous owners mechanic didn't notice or comment about this and nothing on previous MOT's either. So fortunately found one and just have the great joy of fitting it!

Just as an update a week on and upgrades still ongoing wheels just picked up for a colour change and repairs. I will be posting some photos of everything that’s been happening over the weekend as think I deserve a weekend off if I can stay away!

No longer have a LR. A BMW bike, and a mini cooper.

The jury is still out as to whether I'm lucky or not... but I've got rid of the three amigos, and now I'm dealing with the srs light unable to communicate with it. HELP!!!

Hi
I am new to this site.
I am living in Rwanda and have a 1999 P38 Diesel which I use on a daily basis.
I have the, seemingly common, problem of trouble starting when the engine is hot.
I was wondering if anyone can help to let me know where I can buy the timer relay kit that people have mentioned to fix this problem.

I am also adding waterless coolant and had it up to Gareth at Empire tuning before I started he had a drive and said its fast already and some sort of mapping and maybe switchable so once I am finished with my works few hours with Gareth and lets see what it tests at so I can let my insurer know!

Then I will have to think of the next thing maybe something with Ashcroft to upgrade the gearbox I think.

Continuing upgrades to my 2003 TD5 Some parts on back order or under the dining room table. The list is so far new brakes, braided brake lines, upgraded pads and discs to terrafirma, new hubs, callipers and hub carriers. An upgraded VGT from Allisport along with upgraded intercooler, new radiator and upgraded electric fan, all new silicone cooling / water and turbo pipes. and a Ceramic coated exhaust manifold.

Hello, can anyone tell me the torque setting for the steering wheel nut please? I think it's 35nm, does that sound right? Thanks, in advance..

Hi I am restoring a 1970 LWB series 2A diesel. I am missing the 3 bolts for the starter motor. Does anyone know which bolts I should buy?

Hi - Did you ever get your S3 gearbox working correctly? I have just finished my 76 resto and didn't really do anything to the gearbox other than fit new bearings and seals. It makes horrid noises and jumps out of first. I'd be interested in buying new innards for it, but don't really know what's knackered and what's not.

Cheers

Looking for the same info as you were regarding the drivers seat....did you get it working? cheers

Hi Steve

Thanks for sending those references to me regarding my temperature sender for my Series 3 engine. I did some research and it looks like I can purchase the adapter bush which which screws into the engine head (part ERC 9432 and a suitable copper washer) and then get a temperature sender to suit a Smiths gauge to screw into the adapter.

Best regards

Guido
