Pyrover

CORRECT.. ! Sorry I don't know the vehicle, I just spotted it whilst boredom browsing on auto trader, looks like a nice motor though.

I'm looking for a NEW gear puller set and wanted to know if anyone has any recommendations.

I don't know, about £4250 at a rough guess (no cheating now..!).

Here's Gear Change's website.

As the title says. Click

The best tool deal around at the moment has got to be this (ok, so it won't fit in the back of a Landy). Click - Search for TENG 1001 Piece PROFESSIONAL TOOL KIT In TOOL BOX STACK Click - To see what is included, search this catalogue for TCMM1001N Primetools claim to "Better" any price you can find and Tengtools even offer it as "Buy now pay later" or "Payable over 2 or 3 years". Chequebooks at the ready. (NO.. I have nothing to do with either of these companies)

Yes, Yes... Pictures would be nice.

No mine is purely leaking from the cap (old series 3-lug type) and only running down the side. However, whilst welding up the crossmember on my brothers TDi we discovered the tank was leaking, the leak turned out to be coming from the seam at the point where the mounting bracket is. The carp which constantly built up on the bracket rusted the joint, expanding the seam and causing the leak, in the end we just replaced the tank for a new one as there cheap enough.

Hickley valtone used to be good for paint but I've not used them for years... in fact are they still trading?

You mean this one - Click

I put a post up on leaking fuel caps a few days back, the consensus seemed to be that most do it.

Jonny, As you can see from above, Land Rovers are very subjective topic, ask a question and you'll get a multitude of different answers; the Diesel lot will tell you that the petrols are carp in water, the V8 lot will tell you Diesels are gutless, then there's the 90 boys who'll tell you the 110 are carp off road and the 110 boys will slag off the 90 for lack of space or for poor towing performance, whatever.. The point is all are right and all are wrong, it's horses for courses. All Land Rovers are excellent (except for my piece of junk that is.. but that's a whole other story), but in the end only YOU will know which one is right for you (if at all, who knows you may hate them) and only after having tested a few. so good luck and welcome to the bear-pit forum.

I cuttently have the series type oil-bath filter fitted to my 2.5NA 110 and I'm not sure which is the better route to go when fitting a snorkel? Should I.. A) Replace the filter housing with the correct 2.5NA one and then fit the 2.5NA snorkel, the type that goes through the top of the wing. B) Fit the correct 2.5NA filter housing but fit the 2.5TD/200TDi wing and wing mounted snorkel. C) Fit a 200TDi filter housing, wing and snorkel. I suppose the real question I'm asking is which is the more secure as far as sealing goes (filter housing, snorkel, hoses) or is there little difference between the three types to be worrying about?

Shame it's not a complete wright-off, the engine would be up for grabs then. Can a LT77 take 1000bhp?

Ouch..! I'd send that back it's got two nasty looking gouges in the top, that's just got to weaken it.

You could always get a copy of the Defender buyers guide from below... http://www.lro.com/buyingguide.php?sid=8&page=1 (flavour of the month at the moment!) This covers the basics of buying a 300TDi Defender, however alot of the info is relavent across the Defender range (obviously not the engine bits!) and shows where the parts are located on the vehicle, which is useful because as a Land Rover virgin I'm sure you probably have no idea what things like swivel pins, etc, are, let alone where they are located. It's a bit pricey at £5 and you don't get alot for your money, however it is available as a pdf document for download. As Fridge says also have a good look around the forum and get in contact with your local club, they'll see you right.

Slooooooow...! Just had a butchers and it's taking 30+ seconds for the server to answer requests, it'll have to be a darn site better than that if they want any users.

The real time to worry is when they start letting them out of the padded cell..!

Hi, Some users of the LRO forum have raised issues over the new version. And while I've tried to respond to these on the forums, it's clear that not everyone has had a chance to see my answers. Hence this group email to everyone who has signed up to the forum so far. This is particularly the case because some don't like the layout of the new forum and have decided to leave - encouraging others to join them (at a multitude of different forums). I believe all that this achieves is a disruption of this community and its breaking up into smaller and smaller parts. Not really in anyone's interests, I'd suggest. Please note, we cannot therefore allow posts which promote rival forums (that includes your signatures). I, of course, encourage you to stick with us and help make our community better and stronger. I believe the new forum is way better than previous, though I appreciate some would prefer a wider posting area. In all other respects the new forums are the best yet by any measure. I accept that we are never going to please all of the people, though. But it's clear from the majority of the posts on the forums that most people are just getting on and using them and I'm delighted to see that. One user in particular raised a series of good questions. I'm not sure you all got a chance to see my answers - here they are: If you aren't going to read the rest, please read this: 1. It's not that I will not make changes to the central pane - it's that I cannot at this time. And I'm asking that you TRY to live with it for now. 2. What can't you do with this forum? Cruiser raises a question about large images below which I hope I have a work-round for. If there are others, please let me know. In the moans and queries board. If you want to get my rapid attention; email ********************.com I always respond. So, to Cruisers questions - I'll quote his words in bold and then respond below to each. 1: I see no point in emailing you (addressed to me, **********) as you have chosen to ignore previous email requests from me regarding a serious forum incident. You clearly don't consider fraudulant use of an ID a serious problem. Sorry - I don't think that's fair. Your email on that occasion came to me at my home email address (for some reason still unclear to me, perhaps you can explain by private message?). It also came as a result of something shared with you which should not have been. I thought I had emailed you a full explanation on my return from holiday. If not, contact me privately. Ask around - I respond very rapidly to the very many emails I receive and have responded (even if it means repeating myself) over and over on these forums. 2: Can you please tell me and other forum users how a post such as this http://landroverowner.proboards76.com/inde...read=1170795190 can be displayed in this pathetic space? If you compress the wiring diagram it is useless, detail photographs of connectors will also be useless. Absolutely see your point. This is a bit of a pain. I do have a solution. You can upload large images (pdfs even) to an account on something like flickr and then display the link. It's just like using the img tag, if a little simpler, to be honest. It just means the image doesn't display on the forum, But technically, ones 'shown' using the img tag are not on the forum either - they are hosted elsewhere. Here's what I did for your wiring diagram. Bit bigger than you'll find on any forum, I'd guess?: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/175/4124028...40aa44aa3_o.jpg 3: Yes, you need adverts. A fact we all accept. However, when the adverts take precedence over the forum there will only be one end result - no one using the forum. I think you're taking a dim view of ads because we've got a load of trashy non-Land Rover related ads in place right now. When they are actually useful to your life as a Land Rover owner you might appreciate them and even the fact that they are easier to spot. Don't tell me you've never bought anything because you saw it advertised. If that's the case all media companies might as well pack up and go home. 4: Your statistics quoted on another thread look impressive. But as they say, you can prove anything with statistics. However, it is a fact that a lot of regular forum users are now ex-forum users. It looks like more are set to follow. I know the saying. But it's equally disingenuous to dismiss any stat which doesn't support your own argument. Fair? I do hear that some ex-forum users are experimenting elsewhere. You could say I could prevent that by redesigning the whole site right this very minute. Not something I can do I'm afraid. And until you've seen the ads working in a Land Rover way, it's maybe fair to ask you to reserve judgement? 5: LRO's forums have been haemorrhaging members since you started messing about with them. Members are completely sick of being messed around. To retain the members this one HAD to be right first time. The fact that it is commercial software appears to be the excuse for not testing it properly. Poorly implemented commercial software is as much use as poorly implemented bespoke software. This forum should have been properly tested before release by more than a couple of people. If it had the whole issue of post area could have been resolved prior to release. I'm not sure what you mean by poorly implemented and tested - it does work as it's meant to. It doesn't return errors, time-outs or anything (if it does, let me know!). This is a question of taste (re the central panel) versus necessity - not a question of technical eptness (or otherwise). 6: Fact - the most disliked feature of this forum is the post area size. You have listened but have stated that you will do nothing about it. You WILL loose members Agreed. In fact it seems to me this is the ONLY thing that people dislike. Will that alone be enough for us to lose members compared to the many advantages it has over the previous permanent forums? That remains to be seen. You may be right - but it will come down to what you can do with the forum and, as I've asked before, there seems nothing that can't be overcome. 7: You quote visitor statistics for the first weekend of use and consider them impressive. I suspect a lot of those visiting have done so out of curiosity and having seen what a dogs dinner this is will not be returning. I'm sure there is an element of that. We won't get a clear picture of the success or failure of this forum and site in the first week - that's true. What you can be sure of is that now we've got the site on a platform we have control over we will be able to make changes to respond. 8: Take a look at the maximum numbers on line at one time figure. 39 on Sunday - a pathetic figure for a well publicised forum. Doesn't that tell you something? The use is about consistent with the temporary forum. I have google analytics and webtrends stats which give me the fuller picture. Those numbers on the forum account for those within a five minute period. And even then it's only the logged in people. The site has around 2000 unique users a day at present. 9: The member list appears to have dissapeared. Why? This one is up to you. I can set the control so only admin, only mods or only registered users can see it - or anyone - as it was originally set. We had to install an update to allow this change. Some people were uncomfortable with all users being able to see their details on the memberlist (there were posts about it, we listened and made the change). If you would prefer all registered users can see it (for example) let's hear it. Perhaps, Cruiser, you could run a poll - on the moans and queries board? This is something I can change to your tastes and will be happy to do so. 10: Why are you forcing non Land Rover related product adverts onto a demographic that has no interest in them? Perhaps you should show your (potential) advertisers some of the posts regarding the way you are managing this forum and the huge potential you have created for losing members. Maybe they won't be quite so keen to support the forum with their advertising. These are only a temporary measure, as described above. It'll all seem more sensible when proper Land Rover ads appear. Further feedback always welcome and I'll continue to do what I can to improve things within the constraints I am under. I hope in return you'll do your best to understand - and to support this community. Very sincerely

Admin has gone and got thier arse in their hands, I just recieved an email sent to all forum members regarding criticism of the new site.

If the outer wing is goosed you might just as well cut along the length of the wing, about an inch away from the joint between the inner and outer wing. Having done this you will be able to get easy access to the bolts which hold the two together. This is the method used in the Haynes Restoration Manual. HTH.

Don't know... but you could always pimp up your ride with these beauties. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/TruckSmart-Online...0QQfsubZ7648428

Just curious, as I haven't fitted my CB yet... Correct me if I'm wrong but all magnets have poles (Duh..! ), a north and south, therefore I assume that the big magnetic ring on the base of a mag-mount has one pole on the top and the other on the bottom. If I were to get a second mag-mount base and turn the magnet upside down the two mag-mounts would attract each other. (Here's the real question) Is the attraction between two magnets greater than the attraction between one magnet and a piece of metal? Only I can get hold of a second mag-mount cheaper down in my neck of the woods than a £60 Le Creuset Grillit pan. ;)

I thought it was bad idea welding bolts, as they're tempered and as such welding only makes them weaker...?
