Forgot this was here as I had to take it off sale to use it over the winter. It’s back up for sale now for £4,600 if anyone is interested.

I saw the video and I thought for 200,000 miles and it does that then it's not so bad. But then I've done a lot of research and reading on the Rover K-Series which, we all know, is well known for it's head gasket. On the K-Series, it originally used an elastomer head gasket and Rover engineers...

Hi Jimmy, My 120 LC5 is up for sale at the moment. Injectors done, timing belt, air suspension have all had work done so I think it’s a good example. It’s on the classified section.

What's an advert without photos? I will say though that I've not washed the car yet. It's presented as it should be, an urban warrior vehicle that could do with getting muddy! Also, I'm not impressed by this but I've had the car back from the garage for it's MOT and the key case is broken. I'm...

Not sure how the sales thread works so apologise if I've done something wrong! TL;DR: Anything that could go wrong has gone wrong and has been fixed. This is worry free motoring, I didn't worry for the full year after I had the work done to prove it. Would like £5,000 for it. Currently at...

Thanks guys. I'm not a stickler for the brands. As long as the oil is reputable and it meets the specs required then it'll do. Out of curiosity, what temperature would I be looking for really?

Yes sorry it's the 5 speed automatic gearbox. From what I can see there is a sump on the gearbox and inside the sump is a filter. I've also found out that it's £70(!!!!!) for this filter.

It's occurred to me that my 120 is at 165,000 miles now and there's a good chance the gearbox oil has never been changed. I've noticed a slight hang (sometimes) between gears, it's mostly smooth. But to ease my own anxiety with the car I should really get this done. I have had a quote last year...

Last year I had problems with the rear air suspension on my 120 which is LC5 too. Long story short the height sensor broke, lead to it over inflating, bent the bracket, then it kept chewing up air bags. Aside from that, the rear shocks were awful towards the end. Whatever would happen the ride...

Less MWHTC and more I'm Not Sure Of It. It has sort of behaved, injector wise. I still hear a tapping on and off, I don't think it's the injectors, it seems more random. But it's getting good MPG and feels alright. That said no doubt it'll decide to play up tonight! But the difference between...

I took a long time to do this but I did promise I would stick all of this in a video for whoever comes after me needing to do the work.

I didn’t see you mentioned it.

Hold fire with this. You can’t just blank the EGR off. If you do you can run the risk of having the EML coming on all the bastard time. You can either get a blanking plate and drill a 7mm hole in the middle of it, or you can get the fuel trimmer thing from OzBush Electronics and blank it off...

Cheers guys. I've bought a generic one for the moment but will get the current one reconditioned. At least then if it goes wrong then I can swap them without too much of a problem. Anything to get the bloody shock absorbers on this thing and to get it back on the road!

Hi all, Been away for a while as my Land Cruiser has just been sat there on the drive doing nothing. A ride height sensor failed in November and I lost all care for the car to be bothered fixing it. Plus money was/still is tight. So I’ve had the ride height sensor fixed, and the burst air bag...

I noticed about a fortnight ago that the passenger side was on the wonk. Wheel was pulling to the right, looked at the rear and the left rear was down, the drivers side was all the way up. I didn’t drive it for a week as I had the option of another car. About 4 days after parking it up, I...

I was thinking yesterday that my son has seen 4 Prime Ministers, 4 Chancellors, 1 Queen, 1 King, and a lettuce, in his life time. He's 10 months old.

I seen his posts, without those I'd have never made the jump. I am going to email the guy who sells/builds them with a suggestion about it. I know you can have one that's controlled from the cockpit, but while driving I felt that I could've benefited from a button that would flip between two...

Managed to go on holiday last week to France, in the midst of a fuel strike which was nice. Also gave me the opportunity to see what MPG I get on proper long runs. From the midlands to Brittany in france, I averaged about 32mpg. That was mostly doing 70mph/130kph which I thought was quite...

When I did the injectors on mine I also did the EGR delete using the OzBush box of tricks. I've done about 6,000 miles since and it's been much cleaner and felt like it's driving better. Even after doing italian tune ups all of the black soot would come out and would come back after about 2...

Yeah I’ve seen that now. People worried about stalking, which is fair enough. I think the SIM card ones work well too as they will be the one dementia patients have. They don’t know they have them as they don’t beep, but regularly handshake with cell towers so it gives you a rough idea where...

From what I know no, it doesn’t alert them to anything. They’re about the size of a 50p coin. It’s just the location is dependent on another nearby iPhone to update Apple’s servers. So if an iPhone doesn’t go past it for a few days then it’ll just have the location of it from a few days ago.

For what it’s worth, Apple do those Air Tags now that cost about £30 and they’re small enough that you could throw them in the door pocket or somewhere that isn’t obvious and you’ve got yourself a tracker. So if the scumbags get the car at least you have a much better chance of knowing where...

Not been able to get round to Techstream but I’m fairly sure now my issues are to do with the dampers/shocks rather than the height sensors. It happened today on the motorway and I wasn’t able to do my usual pull over/turn off/turn on trick. What I did was stick the suspension fully to comfort...

Measure once, cut twice, weld multiple times.

Who’s going to be brave enough to do the same to a brand new one to see the difference

My 120 yesterday decided to slip its rear door. I think it had been hitting the catch awkwardly since I had it, but yesterday there was a distinctive whack against it. A trip to B&Q later, £5(!) on a bag of 12mm washers, the door now shuts like new. I’ve no strong friends, so I’m using breeze...

Yeah seen them, I’ll order one later and if I have chance before I go away I’ll throw it on.

How many miles has that done do you think?

Thanks for this. I had gone out today to put some new LED bulbs inside, new blades etc, and it occurred to me that I’m not sure where my lock nut was. Had a look in the glove box, and inside a lock nut box were two keys that fit the wheel cover. So I thought I was winning. Tried it and the...

That would help! It’s plastic shroud, and plastic cover.
