  2. OK Thanks guys, have decided to leave it in there. may check it in week or two to see if blowen out or not, but compression good and starting better with three new than four old lol
  3. well, since collecting my truck and driving it home i have done the following, replaced all four road tyress (70+mph serious vibration) now sorted. replaced clock light, (so annoying when not working) replaced dash bulbs with led replaced sidelight/side indicators/rear number plate/interior bulbs with led's replaced glow plugs (well three, knackered one,(job to do)) replaced anti roll bar drop link o/s/f knocking gone wood effect gear shift (tricky job with HDC) in way replaced dash switch blank (original one has cb mike holder ( easily removed and replaced with spare)) fitted cb so its a 5 minute install/uninstall so not in way when not needed washed it many times lol painted alloy wheels nice and shiny and clean again replaced n/s/r bumper lightsas slight damage on purchase purchased and removed n/s/r door lock and window regulator from scrap vehicle (mine only locks and window cable dead) ( will be changing over tomorrow) and yes i tested window in scrappy to make sure working, plus had to drop it to remove it lol apart from sunroof lazy and not got the bottle to try opening all the way, would need a shove to help it, this truck is now tip top, almost. but not for long, its a rover, it'll give me little, or big jobs along the road of ownership lol not got confidence to off road it yet, apart from track to my field and in my paddock lol, but do love driving it. more like a luxurious car, higher driving position oddly or feels higher, as lower than my old truck, but just sooooo nice to drive. i'm buying fuel just to go and use it so i can drive my freelander lol so have now changed door lock and window regulator and very happy with my little truck BTW, HOW LONG DOES THIS MODERATION ON POSTS LAST, REALLY PUTTING ME OFF USING THIS FORUM
  4. i liked it from the pictures, quite quickly turned to hate, when i see the price and fell out of my chair laughing
  5. last flipping one sheered in head, one had to sheer off and had to be last one. should i heat engine up to expand it, tap or die it to thread the hole and get a bolt in there, let it cool around bolt and try to extract or thread it in cold, glue a bolt in there and warm engine to expand and try to extract. ideas?
  6. nice one paul, thankyou. will try to get good pics and video and post up tomorrow. proper guide for others like me, never had to do a thing to any of my trucks luckily except pajero had gearbox change by garage, and alternator, and one of the mavericks had starter and alternator by me, but alternator was dead simple and nice and high at front of engine bay easily exposed lol. but as far as serious engine issues, never had to change a glow plug, until now.
  7. dude thats awesome. thanks, have seen a you tube video where he suggests thread lock if one does snap, and a washer so you can turn and prise off in event of trying to extract?? thoughts great pic though. will be doing it properly in morning and digging a nut out of shed for injector replacement lol
  8. hi, want to change my glow plugs, light does come on in mornings, but takes two or three turns of key to heat them up, otherwise starts fine. only usualy on in mornings as engine temp ok during day. have bought glow plugs and tried to change them thinking easy enough job, but not sure where they are. these are either injectors, glow plugs or both lol, are the glow plugs hiding under these brown and black plugs? did remove the two nuts, lost one DOH!, easy to put another one in its place tomorrow, but didn't take the cover with the four tubey bits off, have noticed in pic found online that another pipe goes into it hidden under the plastic shroud. i assume as when nuts were removed the part wouldn't move is because of the pipe i hadn't removed, is this the correct hiding place for the glow plugs? when the nuts are removed on the black and brown thing that electrical connector was plugged into, and that bendy pipe removed will the part come out and are the glow plugs in there?
