I know Dave - I have to think of a quiz!

I continue to be impressed by your ability to sort these vehicles

Another shabby ex military 90! That bulkhead is eye wateringly rough! Makes mine look good though😂 Thanks for sharing!!!

Had the same problem, would start then sputter out. Used the fuel line setup off a 2.5 turbo and it seams to be working now. Cold start seems like a good thing to check though

I stored some diesel for about 18months in my garage. When I looked in the big barrel it looked like the diesel had water in it , almost like putting a small amount of water in a bottle of diesel and shaking it. Rob. Ps it was me that sent the post card from minorca, sorry for the bad writing, it was the last night , had a few too many 🍺

I've kept "good" diesel for years in full rust-free jerry cans. I like to have a spare 10L - esp in the 110 where the fuel gauge is wonky. Eventually, I add it to an almost full tank and refill. No issues on tdi or TD5 so far. I would not carry "spare" petrol in a car - not even in an Explosafe container. But as we all have two and four-cycle petrol tools to run, I end up with more than a few containers (including chainsaw bar oil) to deal with. My preference is to keep the quantities small and add marine Sta-Bil right from the start

"Twatting" is now a technical term..... :-)

Petrol and diesel doesn't go bad that's a myth, there are lots of videos on you tube showing that it's a myth. Personally I've done my own tests a very long time ago. Great videos.

you've got a bloody millstone there Mike!

More than you know mate.....just after filming this I put my back out whilst climbing on the house roof to clean the roof valleys out!

Hi Mike, looks like the front steering rod is bent. There's a possibility that the fuel pump shaft has sheared off due to being run on kerosine/paraffin and therefore had insufficient lubrication. I've heard of vehicles in the middle East being run on alternate fuels when diesel wasn't available. The engine could have been out of of a vehicle that had been in one of those countries at some point. I've also heard of the same happening when running the CAV pumps on veg oil, but doubt the military would be running on that.

Anything is possible, but the shafts are weak

In the seventies I done a Mini and forgot to put the earth back on, and wondered why the accelerator and choke cable were glowing red. Lol

Is there a video showing a remove and replace of the 2.5l injection pump ?

I had a grond via the handbreak cable. Not for long...

Mike forgive me if I'm wrong but is twatting not some sort of pregnant fish and not a technical term for damage?? great content as usual.

I'm not confident in my 300 tdi pump. It's very noisy, especially on the road. My Exhaust 'pulses' too but I'm thinking that could be a head related problem, maybe valves not shutting properly?

Could be one of the large springs inside the pump has broken?

Can you Show how to set the timing in the Diesel Pump? Great Video by the way!

Just search for 2.5 NA on my home page - there are lots of videos on this engine

Mike the front steering rod is bent from the video... Or is it just my eyes 👀

It could be the camera lens, but is the drag link bent? Just wondering. Cheers.

It has a slight bend but not too much to warrant replacing

Bit of a twatting. That's gotta be Canadian, you wouldn't get away with that in Yorkshire... MUCH.. LOL

Hi people, Rob here, Just bought a discovery 3 , by mistake I got a 5 seater, really I needed a 7 seater, Anybody now if I can fit the 3rd row of seats, without too much bother ?? Ps I was meant to get a defender, lots of searching for one, but then after bottle of wine later I own a bloody LR3 🤷🏼‍♀️ Robert p

Need to know location. Probably may UK options and none in the US. I had a UK D2 converted to a seven seater, then removed the rear seats again to make it more of an overland vehicle. I suspect the newer the vehicle, the more problem converting

You would have thought with the tens of thousands of these 90s/110s they would have shipped another one over rather than mess about bodging that bulkhead.

Quick fix. It's just too much work to split the car and remove the bulkhead and replace it or repair it properly. Why they were not galvanised as standard is a mystery

@jamesbarker4808

Cost, they warp easily when galvanised and we forget as with any vehicle manufacturer they don’t want them to last forever! Back in the day a 110 was what 20k if every item was built to last or galvanised it would be 30k and no one would have bought them.

@@jamesbarker4808 True - the aluminium panels were sort of a happy mistake, I suppose. Although once the reputation for longevity was established, they were happy to trade on it. And in South African production, they did galvanise the frames (but not the bulkhead!) I've purchased a few galvanised bulkheads and while the warping is an issue, that could easily have been dealt with by a manufacturer, IMO. Most of the problems come from the initial design and fab, then the fact most are actually second hand and repaired to begin with. Add in the under-the-arches shops doing the galvanising and you get the worst of all worlds

@@jamesbarker4808 True. Although the SA production got galvanised frames. I believe the bulkhead design could have been tweaked a bit by LR to better suit galvanising, and I think it would have been simple enough for a major manufacturer. Most of what you see available are small producers and often working with repaired salvaged bulkheads
