My 1986 2.5 petrol need a new timing chain and tensioner, looks
straightforward if you remove the rad but am I kidding myself? Anyone done
same and got any tips?
Will a normal sprocket puller do or do I need a specialist tool?

Just noticed that my RRC with 200tdi has a restriction ( flattening of the
hose on two sides) in the hose going from the turbo to the intercooler. It
is definitely built in, not a problem with the hose.
Could some knowledgeable person throw some light on this?

On a D2, the window goes so far & then wont come up without help.
Can the cable be got seperate?
How much Richard?

I am looking for a tubular winch bumper and weighing up the options ie.
price / quality.

I'm considering towing a caravan with my S3 109 but have been warned
that some can't cope with the 'stiffness' of such a vehicle and will
be shaken apart, does anyone have any experience of this, what to look
for/avoid, or is it an urban myth?.

Read a while back that 2 x £1 coin are just the job for pressing in UJ cups
in the vice.
Given the recent number of UJ threads I thought it only fair to share.
Euros should work just the same but cheaper.... bloody typical!

I have owned an M Reg (94) 300 tdi Defender for the last 10 years.
The only serious rust/corrosion (other than the normal door bottoms)
is the rear bumper/crossmember which is rusted through the outer skin
in one place.

I have just purchased a safari snorkel and the install instructions mention
