Hi, I have just added about 20L before reading your reply. I drove it about 5 miles and it seemed fine if anything a little peakier. I will mix the rest with the bio I already have so should have about 150L. I have just found new cooking oil for sale locally for 14.99 for 25L so I may try adding...

Its got about 20L of bio diesel in now so I think I will try it. Are there any symptoms I should look out for? Cheers

Hi I have been given 50+L of fuel free from a pal who accidentally filled his petrol car with diesel. He had about 10L of petrol in it so I was wandering if it would be ok to use it in my 200tdi adding more diesel weekly? . Any help would.be great. Thank you

Thanks I will remove it tomorrow. It should be easy as its only a few weeks old.

Thank you. I will have a go at it tomorrow and maybe try patching the holes with metal plate. If I make it worse I only live 10 miles from Famous Four in Louth and I have been told its not that expensive to have a new one fitted. I once fixed a petrol filler neck with Chem metal and it lasted...

Hi, I need to fix my Discovery's leaky rear diff pan and was hoping to get some pointers. I was hoping to repair it without having to drop the axle because I have injured my spine and leg falling down a bloody manhole of all things. I am after a fix that will last until the summer when...

Thanks I will give it a go in the morning. I am hoping to use the truck to go to Assen on Friday for the superbikes. I am sure the wastegate is stuck closed so it will be ok as its not overboosting. Famous Four quoted over £200 for the actuator which I am pretty sure is knackered because its not...

I mean the wastegate arm (valve). Mine is super hard to move maybe even seized. I will be stripping it tomorrow.

Hi. Thanks to the people who helped my wife. Today I have been servicing my truck and I noticed the wastegate actuator wasnt working. Can anyone tell how hard is it to move the valve on the manifold that the actuator opens and closes. Mine is very very hard to move. The truck is boosting very...

Thank you. The one shot sounds familiar. I appreciate your kind help. I will now be able to confront the spotty oik at the garage without being laughed at. Thanks again

Thats what he said swivel pins. I am to buy the stuff and ask the guy at our local garage to do it. Any idea what I need to buy and do I say fill up my swivel pins lol. I had a list etc given to me which I lost hence the panic.

Thank you. I know what a track rod end looks like because I had to fetch one. The things I mean are what I would describe as big ball bearing looking about the size of a football. Or the only shiny chrome like things under the truck. Thank you

Dear Land Rover people I need your help. My husband is working abroad and he asked me to have his beloved truck greased. My problem is I have forgotten the name of the parts that need doing. All I know is they are the shiny ball shaped things at the back of wheel that make it steer. Please help...

Hi I have a set of the rubber arches and door protections for my Disco and I was hoping someone could tell me what I need to stick them on with. They are the glue on type I think because they have no holes and what looks like black resin on the backs. Thank you for your help

Thank you I will remove it tomorrow.
