  1. ive had the same problem a few times yes my egt is higher but im pushing more hot gas through thanks porny :D

    ive tried all of the above but have ended up with a mixture of all

    skim manifold

    remove webs make sure you radius all corners to stop it cracking

    change the studs to merc ones

    i also drilled out the holes in the manifold slightly larger ( this is a trick used by the rally teams in days of old ie mk1 escorts) it allows the manifold to move slightly on heating and cooling and stops it snapping studs but not enough to blow gaskets

    i thought about ceramic coating there`s a place in Edinburgh that will do it cheap, but to my thinking that will hold heat in and not let it escape it will increase flow though

    im runnung very high boost and the egt is high and i thrash the tits off it and no problem since the mods

    if i was going for outright power id buy a tubular from porny might do yet but im skint

  2. my speedo is now unlit so i went to LR parts and bought what i thought was the correct bulb as shown on the screen

    they gave me a small bulb which fits in a holder but this is nothing like mine i went back to LR and checked the part on screen which looks correct.

    mine has 2 small bulbs with holders in 1 piece i gave the old bulb to LR and they say its the wrong one but the bulb they gave me does not fit the hole and there is no bulb holder

    any pointers would be appreciated

    my landy is an early TD5 90 y reg

    thanks in advance

  3. ive a 2000my td5 90

    it was a good starter until recently then it was poor 10% of the time

    took ages to crank over, other 90% of the time started first hit

    ive just had a clutch and fly wheel fitted by a local garage he noticed the fuel pressure regulator was leaking into the bell housing so this was replaced

    got it back had to be cranked over for about 2 mins before it would finally go

    he checked fuel pressure and it was slightly low and the pump was a bit noisey so it was suggested that maybe the pump had knackered as it was over pumping due to the regulator leaking

    new pump fitted new filter

    primed the pump

    now nearly impossible to start needs cranking over and over

    scared to take it out in case i get stuck some where

    nearly new battery , new glo plugs 5000 miles ago

    used to run great

  4. dont know if this is the correct heading to post under

    but just bought some bf goodrich mud terains 265/75/16 @£100 each fitted balanced and removal of old carcass

    cant believe how cheap they were compared to what ive been quoted else where

    there from denton tyres in carlisle tel 01228522033

    and no there nowt to do with me just thought id pass on my good fortune

  5. hi

    when i changed the loom on mine i used electrical contact cleaner from maplins , take the ecu out , tip the excess from the plug and spray mine took 5 goes till it was totally clear as there was excess in the loom , breaking the seal sound a good idea though i might look at doing that as apreventative measure to stop it happenning again
