To be totally frank

cakey,

you're not wrong.

now is probably a good time to bow out.
a big thanks to all those that have very kindly offered their help and spent time trying to get to the bottom of my issues.

I've enjoyed participating in this forum which I've probably spent far too much time on and will struggle to keep at an arms length going forward (no promises that I will but I'll try).

hopefully at sometime in the future I'll either be 'sorted' and can rejoin with a different slant on things (ie no moaing) hopefully I've be able to provide a few useful comments along the way.

happy motoring all.

Thumbs Up

Shocked


I could tell you a story about mine and you'd be considering ditching your Caterham and adding an extra Defender... Whistle

After all this time and worry it would be a shame to move on now, they say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing so I think you need to wait until the vehicle is given a proper once over from an experienced bod.

Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades.
Current Defender: A non tarts hand-bagged Puma 110 XS USW.

[Insert something impressive here such as extensive list of previous Land Rovers or examples of your prestigeous and expensive items, trinkets, houses, bikes, vehicles etc]

/\/\/\This, also may help to drive another Defender,so at least you can switch off to the usual clatter,knocks and bangs,or do what I do and turn the volume up on the radio. Pov.spec,ftw. 2006, 110,TD5.

Still here.

Engine running a treat. I'm convinced my incurable rattle in the engine has always been the clutch Embarassed

Looking to get a few jobs done my those that know what they are doing soon....

Possibly a new clutch (cost dependant)
Underseal
Wheel bearings

And my current task (sub woofer)

Welcome back Caterham.
Your re-appearance is proof of the tenacity of a true Defender owner. I look forward to hearing your reports of trouble-free Defender driving enjoyment. Thumbs Up
