    front and rear valve blocks on an LR3

    pretty sure they are not the same part. i recently rebuilt mine with new seals it was easy enough and a lot cheaper than buying new.

    Montero Hardstart

    Did you replace the seals on the fuel rail ? I just did mine and all the seals had hardened. I believe the FSM says to replace them every time you take the rail part other than that maybe a fuel pressure issue ?

    Engine refresh

    There was a little moment but I did turn the engine over with the ratchet a fair few times to make sure nothing was going to crunch. In my day job I have had to power up some crazy expensive equipment that if I got it wrong i would likely be unemployed lol so this wasn’t too bad.

    I have started ordering parts with a plan to get it back up and running. I will likely sell it afterwards i just can't bring myself to scrap it especially since i just bought new tyres not too long ago.

    Montero gen 3 coolant leak

    Thank you for the ideas everyone. I’m Still undecided if I will attempt to fix this one. With 2 small children I don’t get a lot of free time to take on projects like this and I feel if I make a start it might be a long time before it gets done. I’ve been looking at land rovers for awhile now...
