Anaconda's latest activity

Maybe next time

I was tempted to come down in the F2, but have been doing some work on it lately, so wasn’t sure if it would be ready

Check for oil in the ecu plug and change the injector loom is as good as any place to start.

If it wasn’t a tdi I’d look like one of them dirty vegans!!!

I am sure if you Google the question you will find a company selling card board boxes.

AstroTurf?

Out in the edges of netheravon with flags flying.permissive acsess for work) Not in my normal 4x4 but hopefully won’t be getting stuck…

Yes I agree , I intend to use a 12v linear push pull solenoid , these can be of various power and speed rating , hence asking if anyone had used one , I will be producing a bracket for it and I'm sure it will take a couple of solenoids to get the...

I switch it off everyday.

I had that a couple of weeks back. Then it became inundated with adverts to the point of being almost unusable. Now it seems OK.

I have found you need to be quite slow when putting the Od in and out of gear. Keep us informed how you get on with fitting a solenoid.

Put in what comes out? Red is Dexron 3

Believe it or not I have only a couple on the phone. You will have to wait for some others when I get them off the camera. Just the two of us today, a first timer came along in a 200tdi 90, said he enjoyed the day and would come along again...

Hiya Funny enough I noticed that as well when I was looking for one It was the same when I finally bought my D3 as it was like a boat , then after I virtually rebuilt the suspension and got it perfect the difference was like night and day All...

I wouldn't change a seal which wasn't leaking.

To be fair I took a D4 for a test drive once, I didn't really like it much wallowed around too much for me. Mind you I do suffer from motion sickness a bit, not usually when I am driving myself though. So maybe springs are better. With regards to...

Hopefully they are the ones.

Land Rover dealer maybe?

Pretty sure you will have to buy a base model if you want coil springs anyway. It's all a pointless conversation unless you can get reasonable insurance anyway. Get a real qoute, go and see some in your price range and go from there.

Pretty sure it's illegal (or against the rules) to pretend the main driver is the lowest risk. When my son passed his test not one insurance company would allow me to be the main driver on his Ninety. It had to be insured in his name and me as a...

Don't tell anyone, as mentioned its a bolt on part, like an axle, although it's a large part.

That’ll do for me 😀😂

In general your question has been answered but go ahead and prove us all wrong. £7 code reader probably won't cut it in proper diagnosis. Just buy one if you want one and let us know how it goes. How much is the insurance for you?

A D2 is no more an off roader than a D3, unless you like to bolt big wheels and lift kits to them. If you are paying labour then you can easily spend 1k a year no problem.

I have had some oil from them but no idea how I can tell if it's any good? Nothing has broke or blown up.

I would buy a Focus, mine was very good for 24 years.. I guess if you buy cheap and afford to throw it away every year, and buy another, when it fails the mot you should be ok.

Thanks! So - replaced the battery and installed the air bleed valve. Requires a couple of attempts to start from overnight, and get quite a bit of white smoke. When starting from warm, takes a few seconds but does start, so progress! I've got...
