    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!

    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,

    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...

    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.
