[changing it washer jet]

Ideally a two person job..... one to hold the jet and one to deal with the nut!

[question reference headlight wiring upgrade]

You could use the connection on the starter motor. ... bigger bolt and more direct to battery. ..

That's what I did for my fans

[tire rub issues]

Probably need wider arches with 285's already!

Adjust the steering stops. ..it's free and won't need to tell your insurance company!

[Changing 300tdi timing cover]

I tried changing the bearing once. I gave up when the flange broke. ... easier to buy the whole thing. ...

['shrinking' my 90 to fit in the garage...]

You can get 15inch land rover wheels. ... get an old pr with low profile tyres and jobs a good un..... The reduction from 16 might make the difference between it working or not. ..

[Clutch Problems]

Did you definitely get the right cylinders. ... as the wrong ones can result in this issue. ....

[90 puma a frame chassis end bushes and bolts...]

Excellent Ralph. You're a star! !

[90 puma a frame chassis end bushes and bolts...]

Thanks Ralph, but the puma doesn't have the cast metal lumps that bolt to the chassis, they have welded on pieces that the big bolts go through, however the bolts are smaller hence the Bush must be different too...... I think it's a post 09 thing.....

[90 puma a frame chassis end bushes and bolts...]

I need to source the bushes and bolts for a puma..... I kinda assume that the arms are the same as the older ones,but the bolts are smaller hence the Bush must be different too....

Thanks

[gearbox retirement project]

The way I learn about stuff is to get an old one and pull it apart. .. The best way to learn is imho experience. ..

[my first v8 engine work...]

I used new stretch bolts..... but wish I'd got studs.... but then it's only a rebuild not custom build. ....

[my first v8 engine work...]

Maybe next time as I really didn't enjoy doing them what feels like too tight!

[my first v8 engine work...]

Put the first head back on last night. .. crikey it was scaryddoing the 180 degrees. .. darned tight!.....

[Mot and seats....]

I once sent a vehicle for a pre mot check. ..

it had no lights fitted. ...

Came back later and it had been tested and passed.....

tester said if it wasn't there he couldn't test it...lol.

I suspect times have changed since then. ....

[Pothole Triggered Hazards?]

Shock sensor in the alarm. .. mine used to do it on rtvs..... Never did find a cure. .. didn't make the truck cut out so I just put up with it.....

[my first v8 engine work...]

Thanks Dave, that's what I will be doing....

[my first v8 engine work...]

Good point...... ta

[my first v8 engine work...]

I'm in the process of fitting a 3.9efi auto in my 90.

I figured it would be silly while it's on the garage floor not to do some work on it..... so I've removed the inlet and gubbins and removed the first head.... I plan on doing one at a time so to minimise the bits floating around...

The first of possibly many questions is...

It's originally a 14 head bolt engine, can I refit it with only 10, as I've heard that the outside 4 can be the cause of gasket failure.....

Thanks

[300tdi Haze]

It's oil vapour. .. put the cap back and drive it......

[Anyone fitted a td5 rear tub to an earlier 90...??]

I know its just nuts and bolts to fit the actual tub itself,. what i'm interested in is the fuel filler..... i'm toying with fitting a rigid steel pipe along the inner arch above the spring platform, with a flexi pipe each end..... sound feasible..?? ... dependant slightly on axle articulation i guess.............

ta.

[Play day: Mannington, nr. Ringwood, this Sunday (26th Oct)]

Amazing how much flex there is in the actual shock bracket.....

[90 3.9efi auto project questions....]

Thanks mickey..... not quite so easy. But having said that I would rather have more space around that area than not enough. ...

Cheers

[90 3.9efi auto project questions....]

Interesting... many thanks....

[90 3.9efi auto project questions....]

Hi guys, have semi started the project, but I have a few questions that people I hope will have the answers to, my set up is currently a barbed v8 with lt77.

So the auto box is the same length as the v8 lt box, but what I don't know is if the auto will fit in a 200 style seat box and gearbox tunnel. Or do I need the later 380 style one??.....

It won't really bother me if I do, as my existing seat box has seen better days....

I'm sure I will have other questions but I thought I'd kick it off with that one....

Thanks in advance.

Ron

[misfiring 3.9.....]

Hopefully now sorted. ...

Thanks.

Bit embarrassing really. I swear I checked the vacuum advance. However with another suck it wasn't doing anything. Fitted another and it now appears to be fine. ... hard to be totally sure as the truck isn't taxed so I can't road test it..... but it certainly revs cleanly now. .....
