Aha! YOU had T62! Salut! What a great truck that was/is :5bcheers2: Back on track, I've always named our cars. The D2 is Tigger cos he's big n bouncy n fun fun fun fun fun :) The D1 project was called Jake by its previous owner, but we haven't come up with a new name for him yet, apart from...

I was ripped off so many times by various garages when I was young that I went to night school and got a C&G 383 Motor Vehicle Engineering & Repair. Well as far as you can get without working in a garage (level 2). You need to do a year's full time placement to get Level 3 :( I do most of my...

Bought the D2 because I wanted a D2! I would have bought a 110 but the wife wanted more comfort. Bought the D1 because it was very cheap, low mileage and in pretty good condition. Didn't really want a D1 but it was too cheap to walk away from. I'll be using it for greenlaning and offroading...

If it seems to be under the footwell then it'll be a drop link most likely. Might be an antiroll bar bush but my money is on a worn droplink. HTH EDIT - I fitted Allmakes droplinks front and rear 2 years or so ago. A rear one wore so much the ball end popped out of the assembly and a front one...

What engine do you have? If its a Td5 then the alternator is an 'intelligent' one and doesn't give an output unless its needed. You need to use an ignition switched live rather than a feed off the alternator. The 300Tdi has a conventional alternator IIRC so this doesn't apply.

HTH

If its just the bongs that are annoying you, its an easy fix, although it'll affect all alarm bongs. Remove the instrument cluster surround. The bongs speaker is on the instrument cluster itself - remove the left most wiring connector (its the smallest plug). Job done. You'll still have the...

You should have seen what I got for my old 1961 Series II !!! :banana:

Thanks! It desperately needs a revamp but I was chuffed with the gallery. Feel free to pop over to a club meeting one day. We have members from far outside the Doncaster area these days - one new member comes from Derbyshire and we have a few from the Selby area. Our greenlaning trips tend to...

And there is the best of all - Doncaster District Land Rover Club www.ddlrc.co.uk :D No, I have no connection at all. Well maybe just a little one. OK, I'm on t'committee and run the website :tea: Family friendly, lots of helpful and enthusiastic members of all ages, and all types of Landy...

You'll need to get some adaptors to make the Boosts fit your D2 - Rakeway make them ( Land Rover ) but they're not cheap! I had some 255\70x16 ATRs on my D2 before I fitted BFGs. They're a very good road tyre, and surprisingly good on ice/light snow and in the rain. Fantastic in the rain...

Just a quick suggestion for you. Before you buy a new bulb, its worth checking to see that the bulb has actually blown. Its not uncommon to find the bulb is actually ok and works fine when removed from the lamp. The problem is that the body control unit (BCU) has the relays for the foglamps...

As ^^^^, fit a genuine LR injector harness and clean the red ECU connector at the same time with electrical contact cleaner. Disconnect the battery before unplugging the ECU of course! The oil that is already in the loom leading to the ECU will keep seeping down to the ECU so you'll need to keep...

Hey Tom, good on you for helping your Dad out. Firstly, it has to be said that there is less choice of tyres in 18in than 16in so that will limit your options a bit. If your Dad rarely goes offroad then unless you want the 'look' I'd go with a road bias tyre - it'll be quieter, more economical...

What engine you got? 10P (pre facelift = euro2) 15P (facelift = euro3) ... IIRC ;)

I'd also suspect the battery is giving up, as you say once the temp starts to drop close to 0 they start to fail. I've got a Numax leisure battery in my D2 at the moment, the Numax CXV24MF Sealed Leisure Battery 12V 86Ah 1000MCA 500 Cycles XV24MF - Leisure Batteries - Numax Leisure Batteries...

Not sure if anyone here has seen this - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-rules-for-mot-to-test-for-diesel-particulate-filter MoT test is being revised - again - so that if a particulate filter was fitted at the factory it has to be present during the MoT test. The test will include...

Have a look at this http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CD0QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.landroverweb.com%2FPdf-files%2FTuning_Land_Rover_Tdi_engines_Rev_2.pdf&ei=WL2lUpqJJYuM7Aa0voGgBA&usg=AFQjCNFkM4P_nZQv2gau-vlRjRpFYMKBQg&bvm=bv.57752919,d.bGQ&cad=rja Its a...

I did something similar... So I cropped the bottom corner off Ran it like that for about a year (passes MoT no problem if all sharp edges are cut off). Just another option for you

Halfords Pro socket & spanner set. Had it over 10 years now and its ace. Rachet was replaced quibble free when I sheared the teeth being an arse. Was so good I bought another set a few years later. Second place would go to my impact wrench - a Sealey CP2450. Weighs a ton but kicks out...
