I've seen the wooden ones but I don't have wood anywhere else. Noticed a few people replacing the hoses with silicone ones. Is this a matter of preference or is there any real benefits? I know they are harder wearing etc but cant justify the price just yet. I have replaced them on other cars...

I've an auto so I don't think I'll be able to replace the knob. Unless I get a new one from Land rover? I don't really know how they work to be honest.

Seems to be a lot of talk about running the diesels through with some two stroke oil every tank full to help smooth things out a little. It does sound like your EGR is blocked/ crank case breather filter blocked. There are a few guides knocking around on here to show you how to clean up the...

Ok then. I'll give it a whirl. I've never owned a diesel. Does this still apply to newer diesels too?

Good advice buddy. I wish I'd asked about autos before I put the deposit down on the one I've got. I have to admit all this talk of dodgy VCUs is scaring the hell out of me :( Is the auto box fluid the same as I'd call gear box oil? Or is it something as well as gearbox oil? I had planned...

I've had green stuff pads on a smaller engined punto (1.2). They were fantastic but I can't imagine they would be enough to stop something as big with twice the power? I may be wrong... Anyway, EBC tend to get slated on any performance orientated car forums but I always found them half...

I've got a pair on my car buddy but I havn't driven on them far enough to comment yet. Goodyear usually pretty decent.

I've read this. Seems odd. Feels like I'd be breaking something.

On eBay I saw clocks with different amount of pins on the back. I've also seen some headings with screens on. If it makes any difference mine is the es spec with tape player up front and cd changed below the seat.

Oh and I'm going to strip the brakes down. Ill replace bits if I need to but probably just give them a good clean a see what happens. Then I'm going to paint the rusty drums black and calipers. Also really like the wind deflectors So on the look out for some of them. My list is growing...

I've got a feeling the speakers are going to be all corroded in the door. I didn't manage to get the head unit working on the test drive and the clock was m funny. I've found out how to fix the clock so I'm gonna have a go with that. I also noticed the speaker grills in the doors looked a little...

No I'm leaving the non essentials until I've got the basics done. Ok synergy isn't a basics but it came up at a good price. The other bits although modifications, sound like they are good things to do. Never had a dirty diesel but one thing I know is that they smoke so anything to reduce this...

Well on Monday I placed a deposit on an auto td4. I posted a link up to it somewhere on here. Since then I've been looking at replacement Bluetooth head units, amps speakers and sound deadening, side steps, and various amounts of other bits and bobs. I've just bought a used synergy 2a from...

Can't wait! Is the maf new or second hand?

Pm me ur PayPal details buddy.

Ill take it at 140 delivered pal. Shouldn't really but ill take the wrath of the other half.

Can't remember what I put in now but I eventually got to the same one as brack just linked you too. Sounds like the problem I've got on mine. So should be an easy fix.

Found what I need! Thanks guys.

Not really noticed before but the clock on the top of the dash- does it do anything except tell the time? I was just puzzled on the head unit not having any screen or anything. Wondering if its linked with the clock not displaying properly. Its like got random lines on it. Does it have...

Think Halfords are selling one relativly cheap (maybe the updated version?) I will have to wait until I have it in my hands yet (the car). I feel like a kid at Christmas. To think I didn't wanna get rid of my current car either - I am glad I have got something a little different to the norm...
