    Looking for a Landy mechanic in or near Doncaster

    Sorry missed this post, mate of mine and he really helped me out but his rates are reasonable especially if you tell him I sent you

    Were the LR designers trying to heat up the 200tdi charge air

    They don't need one, better mpg too. System is over engineered for all environments and in the uk it just doesn't need it, took it off 2 years ago and even on a hot day through traffic it's fine

    Were the LR designers trying to heat up the 200tdi charge air

    I had the same problem, even got hot going up hills in my 200, replaced the rad and have taken the fan off completely as it's no longer needed. On a 500 mile trip the water in the header tank was warm not hot so very happy now.

    Alpine window seal replacement

    Got the same job to do on mine, been putting it off but must do it. Got one of those potato peelers too, result

    I doubt it will make much difference in performance either way

    Is my turbo shot?

    Mine does similar on 200tdi, performance unaffected and sick of chasing it now so i left it until something breaks then I can fix it, been a year now and still the same

    Where do you keep your spare wheel?

    Mines thrown in the back of the 110 for now until I decide where to put it, fear of theft stops me from securing on the outside

    200tdi catalytic converter

    Massive dilemma! Please help...

    Oil in turbo 200tdi please advise

    Mine has passed oil for years, blows a bit of smoke when cold and uses a little oil but should be fine for years to come. No play in turbo so until something lets go that's how it stays.

    Alarm

    Fitted the Clifford 650 to my 200, got duel zone proximity on it so anyone gets close to it on my drive it squaukes and wakes me up, has a disclock too. I'd rather have something on it than nothing and most stolen are without security or just factory stuff which is useless.

    What did you use your defender for today

    Defenders being marked for theft !!! Look..

    I'm in Doncaster, had my 110 about a year now, fitted a Clifford 650 to mine with duel zone proximity, squaukes before you even get close to it and wakes me up if it does, also has a disclock on, I'm hoping those are enough to make someone think twice and go for an easier option. Also although...

    What did you use your defender for today

    Worrying Rust

    Worrying? No mate, this was worrying

    all makes hinges

    Have them on mine and they are perfect, however I had to sort through a box of them to find good ones as most were either seized or too lose

    Chequer Plates: what's the point?

    Have it on my wing tops and bonnet so I can stand on them for easy access to my roof rack for sea fishing etc, the chequer plate down the sides is holding my doors together : )

    New 110 Owner

    Had to pay £3000 for my 110 which then was as good as scrap, much work done and now it's awesome, love it, if your inexperienced and not too mechanically minded then the 110 will be a great way to learn, so easy to work on and most parts are cheap too. Getting it for free you can afford to throw...

    new to land rover

    Mine was waxed too, looked great until I prodded around, now sits on a galvanised chassis at much expense. Wouldn't even bother with service history, if it runs it's fine
