    Hi, I’m struggling with a friends series v8 conversion , I’ve been chasing an oil leak which everyone thought was from the power steering , but I have just seen where it’s coming from, this is looking upwards and there is a hole next to the sump bolts (between the webs ) that oil spits out of, any ideas why ? Thanks Angus

    also a look in the fuel filter to see if it's full after a run can be worth a try , I've just replaced the lift pump on my 300 tdi as mine was only half full and wouldn't bleed on the lever , filter is full and bleeds up easily now

    I've also put a Glencoyne spacer on my 200tdi , mines in a series , seemed to help on the long drag up the M25 slip road to J8 at Reigate , just seemed to have a bit more power and a few more MPH all the way up, this my favourite place to check the performance of my Land Rovers

    I put a set of used Puma doors on my 90 , If you keep and eye out on eBay and buy two doors rather than wait for a pair they can still be found for sensible price , mine came as a pair in the right colour for under a grand last year , just make sure who you buy from

    I pull the coils apart a little and then holding one end in place work the spring round gradually with a blunt screwdriver but it is a fiddly job

    Thanks for the ideas, the washers were put there as the crimped part of the hose hits the ram (not by me) the other hose has a much better end on it seems to have a seal built in I don't know why the manufacturer didn't do the same on both? The holes in the ram are different sizes so they can't get muddled up , I'll try to get some Dowty washers and see if that improves things ,

    Hi , I’m trying to get a friends 2a finished off but although he has spent a lot of money it still has major issues, He had power steering fitted but to get the hose to fit at the ram end they have put three copper washers as spacers but these leak any ideas of a suitable fitting that would work in place of these ? Thanks Angus

    Not sure why your’s was round the other way ? but if you’re pushing out original bushes you can push the centre metal sleeve and rubber bit out then cut the “outer” sleeve to weaken it and collapse it inwards ( don’t cut into or damage the panhard rod )

    It curves round it on both of mine

    I've got these from Island 4x4 or Blanchard's before just see who is cheaper with the postage and packing ?

    I have one just above the alternator on my 300 tdi ? ( but does not mean it should actually be there ) There’s a couple across the top of the bell housing too?

    Sykes Pickavant for the flaring tool or get them made for you ( if you can find this guy on eBay I have had stuff from him before )

    My 1989 TD 90 has always been a car and LEZ exempt but now comes up as not meeting the requirements but luckily the series 2a is classed as historic so can even go into the ULEZ,

    Hi , I’ve been cleaning up some discovery 1 axles and found the number 14R90 stamped on the front diff , anyone else seen this ? The paint on the front diff looks so much better than the rear ? Thanks Angus

    Thanks,The pressure vessel is dated 1981 but I will try them on Tuesday , I managed to get the valve apart and left the bits soaking in “Evaporust” so I’ll see what it comes out like , but I guess it will need some treatment to stop it rusting again?

    Thanks , I did have a quick look but hoped someone might have a supplier they’d recommend

    Hi , I’ve just got an elderly Clarke MK230 it’s got a problem with the non return / check valve letting air back into the cylinder and then it struggles to start up, I’ve taken it out but it’s really too rusty to try to dismantle it, anybody know where to get one ? I think it’s 1/2” male into the tank with a 1/2” female and a 1/8? tapping for the unloader pipe , Thanks Angus

    Think you can rob the “loom “ you need off a disco 1 rear door ?

    Western did a great write up on fitting the later ( cheaper ) version

    I couldn’t find anything with the same number as the sender so I have ordered the only Smith’s one I could find and it’s turned up and has got a different number on it anyway,

    The red and white is the wire that starts the engine,I would pull this off and see if it cranks when you reconnect the battery, (this terminal should only have 12volts when you are turning the key to start the engine)

    Hi, I’m trying to sort out a friend’s Rover V8 powered series 2a and can’t get the Smith’s oil pressure gauge to work , the sender will not come out without taking the engine mount off , I would like to know which one I need to buy to replace it ? Thanks Angus

    I’ve got a series one exactly as shown on the 90/110 column in my series 2a and it fits and works perfectly ,
