    Looking to go off road near Halifax, Huddersfield or Bradford

    WF8 3BL is the Premier inn in Darrington - which is even closer to me... Can't say I've ever seen any Landy's meeting in the carpark before though. I'd be interested to hear more though.

    Goodbye Lift Kit

    Interested to know why you say a 2" lift is no use Spud? Is it because they were br1t-sh1t-parts or something else?

    intercooler

    Would some kind forumite please measure the dimensions of the 300TDi intercooler for me. I'm modding my 19J (90), thinking of fitting an intercooler to reduce the intake temps. Just not sure which cooler to use. Thanks Chris

    Just realised the nice knobbly tyres (can't remember the obscure make) fitted are too small on the OD Thus making the gearing lower- that wont help the mpg... The previous owner (a tight Welsh tw@t) fitted 235/75 x 15's- he said they were cheaper - I assumed he had compensated for the...

    are girls allowed? Landy lover but not a technophile?

    I'm sure girls are allowed, but i don't think I'd have admitted to it... prepare yourself to repel boarders....lol Sorry to hear about your loss, thieving b*st*ds should be tied between 2 Landy's in a tug of war.... Hope the insewrance pays out proper & don't try to rip you off. Always say no to...

    So what mpg are you getting from your 19J? I did a run up the A1 the other day, steady 60 on GPS. Came back on A roads & through Leeds city centre (lots of traffic lights), round trip 130 miles. Topped the tank again to check mpg & :eek: 21mpg..... I thought it would've been better than...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Fitted new glow plugs today during lunch break, 15 minutes... I expected at least 1 to pick up on the threads but no probs:-) New heater unit arrived in the post whilst I was out, a job for the w/e :-)

    Tyre sizes?

    I think std tyres for a defender are 235/85x16's Which is tyre width in mm/ ratio of sidewall % & rim diameter in inches. But I've seen a different size rating which I don't understand in the mag ads ie 31x10.5x15 How does this system work?

    Yay, got my 90 back on the road

    Only had her since Christmas but the last 2 days without her have been soooo bad. She developed an electrical problem on Tuesday night. She was running fine, until I turned the engine off to remove the keys to unlock the rear door & then she wouldn't crank over. Red batt light but no glow...

    Hi All, Just got me a 90...

    Hi All I've been lurking on the forum for a while, not really posting -just picking up bits of info & searching the ads. Well I've finally gone & done it. I picked up my first Landy on Sunday. I've had a Suzuki in the past- that was fun, but always had an itch for a '90. It's not bad for a 22...

    oops, not been a member long so... easy trap to fall into.:o I'd be interested in making 1 in - so to speak if there is a group in this area. Only got my '90 today, its a bit old & tired (a bit like me) but I'll get in shape. Chris
