I find the video voiceovers very reassuring ?

My suggestion would be to try the gasket and O ring kit .... I can't vouch for how effective they are, but at around £10 off eBay it's got to be worth a try. Also when you take your existing one off it will serve to confirm wether yours has been the leak - though I'd say it's hugely likely. Last thing is that the design changed part way through production - so there are two designs of regulators and gaskets.

You can buy o ring kits for them - which I wasn't aware of when I replaced mine. If you do replace my advice is to get genuine. It's not a difficult job, but it is fiddly because of limited access.

You'll want the holes too.

How often do you break one ? I've ....... No, I'm not going to tempt fate :/

Worth a go ?

Ooooo pray tell ?!

My thoughts too......

Kudos to land rover for doing it so well.

Fantastic !

Glorious isn't it ? I dropped Lloyds an email to ask for a price on an adaptor to fit one to an R380. They warned about the power of a tuned motor exceeding the capacity of the gearbox - but quoted £1200 plus vat. I'm thinking about this because my Td5 is using water and if it turns out to be a cracked head - then I ought to consider one of these.

I know we've had videos posted before - but wow.

They are easy - simple in fact I think.

Would it require a stumpy R380 to fit the OM 606 in ? I'm guessing not as that chap fitted one into a series without altering the front bodywork....

Lots of info in those threads - thank you. Searching has shown he's posted on a few forums with other info coming out. What looks interesting was that he used a Musso bellhousing and a small adaptor to fit the 5 cylinder one to an R380 - and from reading elsewhere the 5 and 6 cylinder engines have the same bellhousing bolt pattern.

Oh bloody hell

Broken multimeter ?

Thank you !

Apologies for being a dope - but what's the string and tape method then ?

Sorry to digress - but Scott - your 90 is glorious !

Not particularly technical - but isn't it funny how you have funny days .... Crappy news at work, so I finished early to do some work on the Landu and cheer myself up : Picked up some blasting I'd had done with revealed much more damage than I'd expected. Somehow well and truly cocked up fitting a nursert in my crossmember and managed to spill brake fluid on my lips !? Weird

I have a TDS and was wondering what to do with it - it's an old rope though so somewhat misshapen, which I think would make it a nightmare to try and splice .... Given that I haven't done it before. My plan was to just tuck the end In the rope hole and use one of these nylon things to retain it.

He's effectively making a 'lasso' that is pulled tight round the drum ...... .....Does that not make it hard to spool it on ? As it'll be rotating around the drum ?

I think this is almost endemic to the breaker industry ? A quick scan of 2nd hand parts on eBay reveals loads of breakers wanting big money for parts.

I presume it to stop a swing away wheel carrier being unbolted with the wheel locked on it ?
