There are always tell tale signs if it has been used as a chisel or tyre lever :D:D

And mine is a 96 300 tdi that does not.

Well i can only state what my Defender 300TDI does and it don't do what you say.

First position is side lights only, second position is side and head lights.

And complain as they did not fit them for you, lazy bastards. Some people.

I have used full leather seats from a rover 45, needed to remove all rails and bolted direct to the seat box. Not much help to you though as you are after ford seats.

If the filter is blocked emptying it will not help, you need to change it. Blanking the egr will not cause problems.

Change your fuel filter first.

Thats why i make sure every thing is in order before the MOT, thought i would get another year out of the number plate.

My N plate 300 TDI had its first ever advisory last year for a rear number plate, has never failed.

Yep land rover R&D is without doubt a total waste of money, i mean they have not been able to heat the bloody shower water that i get from my defender :eek::D:D

Who did the 300tdi tune up, must be good to out perform a chipped TD5 ;);)

I think he put a TD5 dash into a 200TDI, i thought everyone had a crystal ball:):D

Works very well on van sides, stops that bloody drumming sound, I need to do the roof now to stop the boing when i hit 60mph.

I run my Defender on two sets of tyres, summer road tyre and winter 7.50 x 16 AT. I only run the winter tyre in case of snow, i feel that a 7.50 x 16 will cut into the snow better than say a 265 and thus give better grip. What is your view.
