Brilliant. Just checking how many i know and guess what? Yep. All of them. LOL:brick:

I had a 2.8 TD Shogun LWB a few years back. Nice enough to drive but it was an absolute alcoholic on fuel. 20-23 mpg. The rear chassis was rotten on it as well and needed a fair bit of work. EGR valve gave a lot of bother on it as well and in all honesty, it wasnt that powerful. My brother has...

Land Rovers own MTF94 is £35 plus vat for 5 litres.

If the gel coat surface of the arches is in anyway rough/marked etc, self etch will help the paint stick but you would still need either a 2 pack primer or a high build primer of some sort as there is no depth in self etching. I,ve fitted fibreglass arches and bodykits before and had to fill...

Great news. Always nice to find out what is causing the problem.

Aw right, I couldnt see it on the picture. The only other aerial that i can think of would be an old mobile phone aerial. They would be about 12-14 inches long. Do you know much about the history of the car? Reason i ask is that i used to fit mobile phone systems to customer cars but the cars...

On a 300, 15 minutes will take it out. Only 3 bolts and the 13mm holding on the leads.

Not wanting to hijack the post but jabber, Do you mind me asking what the TD5 modification consists of and what are the benefits results please?

My 300 is stamped on the O/Side front chassis leg. As for changing a chassis and needing to have it re registered with a Q plate, as far as i remeber,for a vehicle to be put on a q plate, there is certain percentage of parts that need to be from another vehicle. If only the chassis is changed...

I,m not saying your wrong but reading what youve printed, there is no way that you are allowed anything brighter than a 60watt main beam. If that was the case, we'd all have 100 watts fitted and as far as no reqiuirement for vertical position, that would mean we can fit lamps at any height, ie...

If its the one shown in your avatar, its either a 2 way or CB radio. If you can find the aerial lead and see what type of connector is on it. CB is usually an ordinary continual screw on fitting whereas 2 way might have a "twist" on type of connection. Is there any signs of a power lead in and...

I,d be very interested in seeing if this makes a difference to the resistance of the pedal. If you could keep us informed please

On my 300 tdi 90, I noticed a few weeks ago that every now and again, when starting, the starter would just give a click. I,d turn the key round to its off position again and then try to start it again and away it would go. The battery sounded low but a check showed just over 12 volts there or...

A point to bear in mind is that if you decide to fit auxilliary lamps for road use, they will need to be no more than 60 watt maximum. They must be wired so that they operate only when the main beam is on and through a switch which allows them to be switched off independent of the main beam. IE...

I,ve not come accross it on a Land Rover before but i have seen a newer Seat Leon TDi show these symptoms. The car wasnt charging due to an alternator fault and because of this, it was running like a bag of shyte, no power and wouldnt accelerate. Once stopped, it obviously wouldnt start. In...
