  1. Ive seen it in action and feck me its quick.
  2. It sounds like a faulty inlet gasket.
  3. When doing a headgasket.... Make sure you get the head pressure tested and level checked. Also skimmed if necessary. When the head is off the cylinder liner height should be checked using a straight edge if the heights are within in specifications for the Landrover multilayer (MLR) gasket it can be used. According to Landrover when fitting the MLR gasket a reinforced block ladder should be fitted but in truth it isn't required. If the liners are outside the range for the MLR gasket then they may still be in the range where the original MG-Rover Paynes gasket can be successfully fitted. If they are worse than that it might be that a special gasket set made by Paynes. could be used BUT it is usually better to find a new short engine. Make sure you DO NOT turn engine when head is off because it will dislodge the liners. p.s i`ve been a mechanic for 26yrs.
  4. Was probably the handbrake, those drums are a bugger when they get a bit of water in. Make sure the ujs on the prop are fine aswell.
  5. Cut hole then align exhaust after rather than weld exhaust then trying to cut hole.
  6. Have a word with yella90 on devon4x4 forum.
  7. is the whistle from inlet or exhaust side?
  8. if it was your handbrake then get a x-eng one, there mint.
  9. Is there anywhere i can get a center seatbelt for defender pickup, it must be a 3 point inersia belt. Want to fit a child seat. Many thanks Lee
  10. After some lockers but i have heard different opinions. What are stronger for front and back with standard shafts etc, 24 or 10 spline? Your help would be gratefull.
  11. Sorted i think, pump timing fraction out and lift pump on its way out. Thanks all anyway.
