Hi folks...
Back with my 2nd Land Rover (90), al;though this one slightly newer... My last one was a Pplate and have opted to go newer this time with an 11 plate, due to the need for it to be slightly more reliable....
So, a couple of questions based around my journey home for collecting it...
Back with my 2nd Land Rover (90), al;though this one slightly newer... My last one was a Pplate and have opted to go newer this time with an 11 plate, due to the need for it to be slightly more reliable....
So, a couple of questions based around my journey home for collecting it...
- I put £50 in the tank to fill it up and got around 135 miles in half tank... I was averaging 80mph (in 6th gear)... Is this right...? Was expectign to get slight more than 200 on half a tank...
- The wagon has just had new BF Goodrich All terrain All terrain T/A KO tyres upon it... On full lock they rub under the arch... Is this an issue, in that will it do damage to the strut is rubbing on... and is it right that this will go once the tyres wear a little...?????
- Can you get Defender wing mirror that actually move, as opposed to once position or the other (which is unusable)...? The passage side mirror I currently cannot use as it is too far out...
- The vehicle has Crystal upgraded headlights and the driving lights in the bumper... When driving home, they seemed 'very' bright and had a couple of people ask me to turn my full beam off, when I didn't have them on... I can turn the driving lights off as they re wired in to be on when the side lights are on...??? Thoughts and suggestions would be great... Can you dip the lights at all...?
- The 'new' rear door lock seems broken in that the barrel fell out when I went to lock it last night and the exterior handle is wedged in the recess section so is difficult to use... Can you a) by them with smaller exterior handles and b) can you get the barrels separately to fit, or will it be a new unit???
