    Temp going down then back up again?

    I know someone with A diagnostic computer, dunno if it does LR though, Ill give him a ring! Just wondering could it have anything to do with a bar seal that I used about about xmas time? I had a small coolant leak around the diesel preheater (I think it was) and it cured it!

    Temp going down then back up again?

Ive just checked the water level and theres plenty of water...

    airbags - How reliable off road??

    I do like the air, its very useful, the only thing that concerns me is if they get damaged off roading, and leave me unable to drive home! Ive heard horror stories of RRC's with air all round blowing a bag and all four corners are on the stops after a bit of light off roading, infact I think...

    airbags - How reliable off road??

    I took my D2 for its first proper off road session the other day and the air suspension worked a treat, but my question is how reliable are they?? what I mean is how likely are they to go bang and leave me unable to get home?? I walked past a D2 the other day with an air suspension problem and...
