    Amazing, if only it weren't in Scotland.... perfect sort of spot for my and my son to spend a week just mooching and spending time round a fire.

    Really, really like them. 8mm plate dimple-died? What sort of press did that...

    One day they will wake up and realise what a colossal waste of time it was, and move on.

    If I get time I will check my stash, I may have one. Not like I need heater pipes in LGT
  5. Bowie69
    Yeah, that is sub-optimal.

    In all honesty running on low box won't produce that much heat, the engine isn't really working very hard due to the gearing, 10-20 minutes of cruise at 60 would normally do it, in my experience, and yes I have had it happens a few times just not from turbos

    Not from what I can find out, they are owned by TMD Friction, which has been bought by -AEQUITA - Private Equity Investors , which always means quality goes one way.

    It's the same over on the Audi forum frequent, everyone gets a jaded opinion of the mark because no-one posts up when things are running OK. Plus of course it couldn't *possibly* be down to people putting oversized tyres on them and trying to crawl slowly.

    Well you better like them then.... I run reds in the audi.

    If it dumped oil into the exhaust, it will take a looong time to burn off, need to get it on the road and get it really hot.

    I find EBC to be excellent, Lockheed always not so much, pagid can be terrible.
  12. Bowie69
    It's just a common problem with LR calipers or pads not made right. I'd try and get something reputable and not from the usual suspects, e.g. EBC, even avoiding Lockheed.
  13. Bowie69
    Well, there *should* be...
  14. Bowie69
    I've had this, maybe even still do slightly have this with new, cheap, calipers on the rear, I'm more suspicious of the pads, I will try a different brand should it become worse. I hope you're not having a third bad thing.... I've had one today, I left the locking wheel nut tool on the Audi wheel bolt and went for a drive.... Doh.

    Points, electronic ignition or RRC style amplifier?

    So there are two steel pipes with a bleeder that run along the passenger rocker cover/valley, bolted to inlet manifold, they often rot out, but may be available new still. You can see them here:

    Honestly no idea!
  18. Bowie69
    Which 3.9? There's many setups....

    It looks to me like the allen bolt/grub screw is crimped into the sector shaft, so in other words it is not designed to come out.

    Overhaul procedure found on page 57 of this manual : Def_90_110_WSM_book4.pdf (roversclub.org)

    Also, you can see the small aluminium bracket made to hold the MC feed lines in, otherwise you could knock them out and make a terrible mess/lose brakes. It is held in with the original Tesla roll pin. Some people have 3D printed things to do the same job, this took me 20 mins, and about 5p worth of aluminium offcut.

    What do you think the money is in your wallet?
  23. Bowie69
    That's not to say the keys are left in LGT
  24. Bowie69
    To be fair, I often do too... there's no crime round here. Yep, mostly because it would just be so much hassle to sort out.
  25. Bowie69
    Nope, home insurances less than 200 quid, middle of nowhere. But I value what I have....
