    Evening, oil pressure light came on earlier (very alarming!) however the gauge hasn't changed any of its habits and everything is still running nicely. would this be a sender issue or an electrical gremlin? many thanks, Rob

    1hdt fuel cutoff solonoid

    Evening all, Had my first ever non start today. Bit of poking revealed the fuel solenoid had no power and that I had a reasonable sized diesel leak from what looks like to top of said solenoid. I put a 12 feed from the driver's side battery and it started right up, albeit with the leak, and...

    Box section sills

    Just thought I'd show how my rusty sills have been repaired, 50x100mm box and some sliders to stand on when sorting out the roof tent. Also sorted all the rust in the rear arches and boot corners, it's much quieter to drive now!

    3” exhaust centre section

    Hoping this may be of use to someone? It’s the centre section with silencer that came with the full system I bought from performance exhaust in Aus. I’ve got the straight through section fitted so won’t be needing this, it’s been in the shed for over a year and it’s still got the bubble wrap on...

    For sale: most of a front runner slimline 2 rack

    For sale, most of the slimline 2 rack that I’ve taken off my 80 series. It’s missing 3 of the bars and the feet. All parts are available new (and now you can spec any feet so it’ll fit any vehicle!) Not really sure how to price it, £400? Plus the cost of the parts needed it’s still a good...

    Newbury spares day bargains

    Wasn’t expecting to buy another roof tent! It’s a bit scruffy and need a deep clean but I’m really chuffed with it! Also good to see another modded 80 series with a wide track sankey in the car park too, shame I couldn’t park next to it.

    Rear quarter rust repairs.

    Doing something about the rust in my rear quarter panels(behind the bumper in the usual place) is getting near the top of the to do list. I’ve seen a few pictures online where folk have chopped off the lower section at boot floor level, which looks like a lot less fabrication, has anyone on...

    How long is it worth maintaining old diesels for?

    Just a conversation I was having with one of our agricultural fitters earlier. As the owner of an increasingly heavy breathing 1hdt we were discussing piston ring replacement, re-bores, sleeves, etc etc, and he said he wouldn’t want to spend the money rebuilding an engine “that they’ll tax off...

    Quick bit of CDL advice please

    hello everyone, Went to use the CDL last night and no one was home. No light on the dash and no locking action. The motor on the actuator is working so I presume the mechanism is seized and the motor is just preloading the spring. Odd as it worked last week. Anything I should try before...

    Exhaust needed

    evening all, Im in the process of saving for a stainless exhaust for the 80 but this evening mine has snapped off at the first box (under the drivers seat) the flexy doesn’t look to clever either.

    Front diff pinion bearing oiling.

    Evening everyone, Today whilst the good lady was visiting family I finally got around to removing my front prop to test whether it was my front diff that was droning under load, turns out it was! There is an almost imperceptible amount of up/down movement in the drive flange so presume it’s...

    Radius arm bolts

    evening all. Could anyone tell me the specs for the front radius arm/axle bolts? I need to get hold of some replacements they are slightly longer to accommodate the castor plates I’m finally getting round to fitting. Thanks!

    Castor correction thoughts.

    Evening all, hoping to gather some opinions of possible! I'm looking to replace the nasty castor correction bushes I currently have fitted, (PO fitted them) with the new OE bushes I've got in the shed. I'm sure they contributed to my radius arm mount and axle casing parting ways. I'm only...

    Cracked from axle housing.

    Evening all, Got home from work tonight and could smell EP90 on the drive, never a good sign... Had a poke around the puddle that was forming to find my drivers side radius arm bracket has snapped and pulled the axle tube apart in the process, exactly like this...

    Front outer wing removal tips?

    Evening all, As per the title really, replacing the front drivers side wing is creeping towards the top of the 'to do' pile so I'm wondering if there are any unforeseen obstacles I should know about? Mine is rotten all the way along the wheel arch edge, and has now detached from the inner...
