Odometer doesn't work in mine.....hence still not reached 80k :D

OP, sounds like a cooling problem, be sure to check the rest of the system as well, there might be lots of crap in the block and the water pump. Ginger got kenlow on mine, removed engine fan. Definitely better in winter, the needle never got out of the low zone before. The electric doesn't...

no, why was it introduced?

polycarbonate. perspex will crack too easily. you'll still have to put some ribs on it, probably best to bond them on. not sure about legal, but can't think why you couldn't. Landy is chassis with bolt on body, and lots of cars now have plastic body panels. Structurally you'd be better off...

go to a different garage. Kwik fit do mine......it surprised me, but they knew what they were about! :eek: Guy took the thing round the block for 10 mins to check the brakes and warm it up (i get mine done in December). Still couldn't get enough heat in to the oil, but did a visual test and...

What needs welding? £950 sounds a bit steep, it better be a lot or somewhere really hard to get to for that money. Fleebay as a spares vehicle. If you've spend that much, the running gear must be in reasonable nick and will be worth more that £50 to someone. You should be able to get a ton for...

You can claim the tax back. Get a form from the DVLA website, fill it in, send it off. Almost like a standard claim, but you need a police ref number on it and some other stuff. Think it cost you extra (i.e. you don't get as much back) cos they have more work to do checking up.

Some guy: Hello, insurance company. Me motors just been nicked. Telephone monkey: No it hasn't. Goodbye. WTF! Name and shame. If they all start doing that, we're up the creek without one. Need to know if he still has the keys, where it was parked, police reference number etc, but it's prob in...

Impressive shop. 2 milling machines. Both better than mine :(

mixed bag on my series 2a. The simple parts which you surely can't **** up never fit (fuel cap isn't even close). But new main shaft for the g-box came in a blue box and has the same stamps as a LR genuine part. It's been ok so far. I've not had the best life out of genuine parts.....new...

drive like a granny and you'll get reasonable mpg outta the diesel. Got 30 mpg in the S2a last fill :D probably ****ed off a few people who wanted to get to their destination that day....

Its cheaper to get a contract. Most places will not have a min contract duration, so you just cancel when you're done. Defo no point in buying your own cylinder if your going stop welding once done. The cylinder rental charge is almost always more expensive than the gas. I try to tell this to...

Bioblend. You're allowed "heavy oil that has not been charged with the excise duty on hydrocarbon oil". They don't say at what proportion it needs to be mixed. Make a note on your fuel receipt and keep it for 6 years. By which time the ink will have faded and they will **** you. Interesting...

Look at notice 179E Section 4.2. If you have produced or used less than 2,500 litres of: * any biofuel, or * any other fuel substitute or additive within the last 12 months, and/or expect to produce or use less than 2,500 litres in the next 12 months, you are an exempt producer and...

Did 200 miles in the series thurs and fri. results: All gaylanders i saw were driven (?:p) by wimmin. about 8 of 'em. none waved, most didn't even notice me in a proper landy :D Waved at 2 defenders. got 1 wave back, one funny look. 1 rangie, woman at wheel, no wave offered or received. a couple...

..........,,,,,,,,,,,, Some punctuation. USE IT. The RR is lighter. The way you can tell: Look at the kerb weight. I can't be arsed to look up for a 200 engine,. cos you're an ejit, but; 2001 TD5 Disco: 2150 or 2185 2001 TD5 Rangie: 2115kg Now what's lighter? :director:****

There are some good sealer products out there. Can't remember the name of it, but there was some red gunk I had a student use last year to seal a kevlar fuel tank. Did a good job and was compatible with aluminium and epoxy prepreg. Search the 'net and you'll find something.

Jeeps are made by Chrysler. Who also make Dodge. Who are now sorta owned by Fiat. We all know the stories about them! But off topic , but you have to compare like with like. Different age vehicles are hard to compare. For example: The '03 Dodge Dakota sport (4.7l V8) I drive when I'm in Canada...

Maybe true of some things, but not generally. Our wages are higher, so for the same quality, it costs more to make things here than in China, Romania, India....etc.:blabla: Buy a Chinese machine tool and tell us how good it is. Then buy the British one and tell us how much better it is! Lots...

You should always test a leaking jack by putting you head under the wheel while it drops. Get someone to jump up and down on the body work above the jack at the same time. And never use wheel chocks, they're for pussies. :frusty:
