I think ive run out of steam for this ....

Sorta know how you feel, can be a bit dishearting to do lots and still find you need more. I replaced my H/balancer, drove home and the power steer pump squarked and died!! Makes you wonder, then I fix it and drive and Im hooked again!:D

So I was pretty bummed when the new parts didn't fix the problem. I'm about to go and spend the next 4 months in West Wyalong working 72 hours a week.
I'm taking the disco to prove to myself that it can still take it. Plus I can't sleep in a dual cab Ute :p

thats why they invented mechanics that know what they are doing...

might have been cheaper in the long run to go to a landy specialist for diagnosis...

I've just spent a small fortune (to me anyway) getting my 1974 109 up to scratch and I reckon I still have another small fortune to spend before I feel confident (do you ever with a 40 year old vehicle?) driving it somewhere without feeling that its going to cark it. I briefly fell out of love with it but I reckon its like smoking - to begin with it makes you feel a bit sick but persist with it and it'll be ok in the end (sort of). I would add - its not my daily driver. Hopefully, for you - the break away from it will re-kindle the flame.
cheers,
D

You mean like 2 or 3 of Australia's best independent land rover specialists who ALL advised I replace these parts first, as they were a) not reading within spec b) the more common causes of my issues and c) the cheaper parts to replace?
I have some idea of what I'm doing.... ;)

Go on. Admit it.
You're guessing.
Just like the rest of us.


Note: Some of those here guess with experience.

Educated guess based on lots of research and the opinions of those who play land rovers for a living...
I'll take my chances...

doesn't read like it..... ;)

Well **** Dave, I'll stop trying to give things a go myself because hey, I might actually learn something.
That's the reason I bought a land rover hey, to pay mechanics to fix things that I clearly have no ****ing clue about.
