Oh an i,ve just bin out ta pick me daughter up an in the right hand corner of the dash wen i turnt the ignition on there was this amber lite that come on anurl forra second then went out

Is this a wind up :lol:

Vanbratsky;

Yes you will have a light on the dash that will light up, BUT as you said the previous owner claims that the engine doesn't require glow plugs ( NOT TRUE ), so it's possible the actual cable for the glow plugs isn't connected, hence no light on the dash.

However there are a number of reasons for no light, for a light that doesn't go out, and for the towing light to come on instead, all these are part n parcel of owning a Landy.

I suggest you turn the key to the prime position ( just before turn over ) and hold for 10 seconds, then crank it. If this solves your issue then great, we'll cover the next step.

If it doesn't, then we'll cover the next step again.

As for the humour, don't let it bother you, go with the flow and you'll find an awful lot of help comes your way, but try a search first ( unless like me your just lazy and treat this place like a pub and just ask whilst buying a round...)

Welcome btw

rekin a good read of a owners manual would help first,hate ta think of wot could go wrong ere:doh:

Picture are in!!!!

It looks nice. Price is actually about right if it is as good as it looks. Do plenty of searchs and you will always find someone has already made the mistake you are about to.
Good luck

That looks really nice. Good find. Is the bulkhead and chassis in decent condition?

At first sight there was no signs of rust. Only exhaust a little.

You need to get under it and have a good bang about with a hammer and screwdriver - chassis rots from the inside out, so while it might look solid, in places a whack with a hammer and screwdriver and you'll find a lovely hole!

Nice Landy Vanbradsky, seeeee!! was worth all the stick then, that's Landy lads for you,you just had to be drilled that's all ,and count your self lucky cos if you were in England you'd to buy'em beer toop2: Now cut the crap out about 250 tdi it's a200 or 300 tdi..OVER:scratching_chin:
