Thanks for that both of you, it is 300tdi, just thought engine drain too would save time. I know the seal for the thermostat is on the thermostat so assume I can't run the engine without it for quicker flushing?

Changing the radiator on my 300tdi disco 1, I also have all new hoses as they look seriously old and tired plus thermostat. This is my first time flushing the coolant so just wanted to check a few things. I was planning on draining through the bottom of the radiator first, then removing all...

Time to change the profile picture....

Just waiting for some time to get out to some empty space to swr, got the meter when I ordered the rest. Got it all from 4x4cb

Finally fitted a CB today:

Following on from my suspension thread, having picked up the car, I'm now wondering what this is under the cigarette lighter. It pulls out a few mm and the light comes on, but can't notice it doing anything. Push it in and the light goes out. Does anyone have an idea what it is without me...

Awesome advice thanks guys. I have been looking at 235/85R16 as not too wide. Going to do some more homework before ordering more bits. Would love a Whitbread style car, but want to keep it road legal.

All legal don't worry, pay and play and Salisbury etc. Not really interested in competitions myself. Like the go big or go home. Sensible enough advice, do you run those wheels without a lift then? If so any rubbing?

Will be my first land rover but not my first 4x4, been off roading with mates and want to build this up as a weekend fun car. I know decent tyres and it could be done, but my mates tend to go on pretty crazy routes so the snorkel is a must as is the lift to fit big tyres to get ground clearance.

I know this might have been discussed a hundred thousand times before, but I just wanted reassurance before jumping in. Picking up a completely stock 300tdi 1996 tomorrow and this is what I had planned. Already ordered: Wadding kit, snorkel, slick shift, boost pin, dynamic timing advance...
