Try WD-40... I know it may sound a bit crazy, but its way better than any other trim restorer ive tried.. It lasts about 8-10 weeks, doesnt wash off in the rain or jet wash, and is only £1.50 for a giant tim from my local sunday market.... cheap as chips, and looks the business...

Excellent! About time we got some stickers advertising this forum! Put me down for 1 internal sticker please!:D

Evening friends... Quick question on the cooling fan setup on the L series diesel engine in my 99 hippo. Testing earlier to make sure fans kick in with no problems (which they did :D)... Howevewr noticed that when i took the 40amp (i think) fuse out of slot 1 in the engine bay box, only 2...

The only way ive heard of is taking the fuse out of the airbag system, then taking the SRS bulb out to avoid the light on the dash being on all the time.. Id be impressed if someone out there has solved this problem by installing a switch themselves.. and if they did, i imagine its a lot of...

Hi chaps, Getting about 38mpg out of my 99 L series diesel with a mixture of dual carridgeway driving to work, village driving for the school run, and twice a day upto out local stables where the horses are kept.. The book for my landy says a 59 litre (13 gallon tank) is fitted.. I always...

Economical, practical, rust free 4x4 that is sometimes unreliable :rolleyes: (wouldn't swap it for anything - not even one of those dirty rust laden discos that the pig shaggers drive):p

Never timed mine, but even on the coldest mornings, my glow plug light is out before my SRS light.. and then starts instantly with no problems.. When warm, its only on for a second at most...

Red is right, Clean everything first.. always do the cheapest and easiest stuff first before assuming its wiring.. If it turns out to be the sensors, the lights will automatically go out, you wont need them reset.. Everytime you start it, the ecu does a self test, so if the problem is fixed...

instead of replacing the in dash guage, why dont you just add an additional aftermarket one by the side of the binnicle somewhere? Lot less hassle...

You be fine.. but like blue beasty says.. maybe when you get down to about 3/4, top it back up to full again a few times....

Hi Joe, relax - youre fine.. I have a 99 XEDi, but mine stays on til about 8 mph.. The difference is because some time during the 2002 model year, LR made HDC standard on ALL trim levels, and upgraded/improved the traction control & ABS software to give you better results that the older...

Hi Angelo, It look like thats what ill have to do unless someone else on here knows? Reason i dont want to do ehip a bulb out first is because im nights until Saturday, and the wife has the hippo in the day.. So if i want the car to take a bulb out, ill have to come home form work at 8am...

Hi guys, Dashboard light bulbs behind the speedo/rev couter/fuel/temp gauges... I know they are 3.4w and capless.. i want to change them, but my local mortor factors want to know what they are ie T5, T10, 31mm, 36mm, 39mm etc etc.. I just told him they were for a freelander, and he said he...

Hippo is right, my 99 L series diesel has 136k on it now, idles and pulls lovely, and aside from servicing and a cambelt at 96k, is untouched!!! i average 39 mpg!! It can tow my trailer and two 16hh horses no sweat, and is still very refined in the cabin.. I fitted a synergy box for a...

If you dont have a sunroof, thats waht its for.. My 99 XEDi has the following switches:- Left hand side top left - LH front window Left hand side top right - central locking switch Left hand side bottom - Rear door glass in boot Right side top - RH front window Right side bottom - Electric...

I wouldnt worry too much mate. My sunroof makes a clunk when it gets to the fully open position, but no noises afterwards though.. To be honest, i dont really like sunroofs on the station wagon model.. Wgatever make and model of car you own, if its got a sunroof, it will fail eventually.. I...

I stand corrected by eightinavee.. That could well have triggered the lights!

Good on ya chipfork, 110K is nothin on that engine.. Its easily good for 250k.. No jokes Like you say, youve done the landy thing before, so that stands you in good stead!! Nice to have you back in the landyfold:D:D Mantamad is spot on.. theres no harm in taking a quick inspection of...

Glad to hear you got it sorted! Sounds to me like the wire in the HDC trigger wire broke with the previous owner, and to hide the problem (rather than fixing it) he/she just pulled out all the bulbs.. Since HDC is rarely used by most people, youd never know the difference. You repaired the...

Cheers Cox! Always nice to have a cheap solution.. especially before xmas... my credit card was starting to wince!
