I put silicone in the top of the plugs when I fitted my harness. It was a britpart one, but has been good for 18 months now. I don't know whether this is a known way to slow down the ingress but it seems to have worked for me. Most silicones are oil resistant I think, but it will say on the tube.


I don't suppose you have any pics of where to put the silicon? I replaced the harness last year but it's back already!


It will be easier to show you. Pm me or something when you have bought the part and I can show you. With regards to britpart, I fail to see how they can make more of a mess of it than land rover did in the first place...but nothing would surprise me! 2002 110 td5

Ray, mine had a vibration between 50-60

Turned out to be the handbrake was just a touch over adjusted, very slight bind revealed itself at those speeds as a noticeable vibration which went away at 70!

When they serviced it did they adjust the handbrake up a turn or two?

Matt


I'll try backing the handbrake off a little but they definately didn't adjust it in the service. My vibration calms down a bit above 70 too so I'll try it Thumbs Up


Just a little follow up, this definately took away some of the vibration but there's still something else Big Cry only on acceleration so checking the uj's next. I've got the new injector loom but don't know weather to seal the plugs as suggested in other threads just in case something needs removing at a later date, so maybe I should just replace it every couple of years Confused I don't know, decisions decisions!! The power almost seems to be getting better and smoother since cleaning out the ecu so maybe the ecu gets used to a proper signal or maybe it's just my imagination Whistle

I just put sealant in the top of the plugs. Don't seal them onto the top of the injectors. I put the sealant on the day before I fitted it. After doing this, I still plan on replacing it every 2 years. 2002 110 td5

Yes. I just gummed up the back of the black plugs, making sure it squidged (if that is a word!) around the two wires. I can't remember whether I put some in the top of the bigger plug that goes through the head, but if oil can settle on top of it I would apply silicone 2002 110 td5

Thumbs Up Cheers I'll do the top of the big plug too then the oil should be stopped going up the core of the wire and through any insulation at the plug!

Cheers

For just the bonnet bit it was £20 to blast off the old paint, zinc coat and then powder coat so not too bad really.

I've been busy today and fitted my bonnet chequer plate.



Click image to enlarge

So that's the hole in the bonnet (that the previous owner drilled) covered and hopefully no more squeaky belts when it's rained Whistle

Just one problem though Big Cry the bolts for the front were a bit long so I thought "I'll get shorter ones next week when I have time it fit them" but the bonnet now won't open as I presume the bolts are touching the slam panel and have pushed the bonnet slightly out of place Rolling Eyes so loads of messing about now to get it open!!! Why can't any job go smoothly?

Embarassed cheers chaps Mr. Green I don't think there will be much more happening this year apart from maybe wiring up the heated front screen and mirrors and maybe some dinitrol but I've gots lots more plans so if I've got the spare cash next year might have some good updates.
