yeah i#ve seen the kits on gwyn lewis, they look like a good idea. i'm still in two minds about the badges

any idea where i order these from? and don't you need a special cover for the timing belt?

i added the stickers as they came not fitted!! i did consider not fitting them but decided to, i can always remove them at a later date. the kit also came with a panel grommet but i can't work out where it actually goes!! i haven't extended the breathers yet, thats next on the list.

Hi there, i have for sale a Shower cover for a Freelander 1 (part number is VUK500020, i bought it when i had my freelander but never used it. As far as i can tell its never been used. Looking for £200 which is way cheaper than any on Ebay. Located in West Midlands near Wolverhampton but can...

Fitted an Offtrek snorkel/raised air intake. faff of a job which you need mr.tickle arms for, luckily i'm skinny lol. see pics @ https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/fitting-a-snorkel.392344/

Well i fitted it today, the pipe goes into the convoluted pipe marked in yellow with the reducer between. pipes were a faff to get off as caked mud had turned to concrete, but once of and washed they softened to make it easier. needed a bit of bulldog BDX to make them a bit more slippy. not...

try https://www.keymoon.uk/defender.html , i had a replacement door key of them, cut to code and a picture, spot on! they do ignition keys as well

yeah i've been looking on Ebay, they seem to refer to them as a water trap, i assume to let excess water out rather than in. i'll take a look from underneath to see if it really is gauze, i just reached down to see what i could feel

Hi there, i purchased an Offtrek "snorkel" of Ebay the other week and am just looking at how i install it. mounting it on the wing i have no issues with but not sure how to connect it up to the air intake pipes. It came with the pictured rubber hose and metal insert which i assume attaches to...

ha ha!! thats the best laugh i've had all day!!

Great advice, thankyou. its a TDi diesel so no dizzy to worry about. good plan for the airline, i haven't got one but do have a pump i got for blowing a paddling pool up and i use it for blowing the water off my motorbike once i've washed it. i'll remember to do a before and after. cheers Steve

evening all, any recommendations for cleaning engine and engine bay? i've always avoided doing this following a near disaster 30 years ago with a Talbot samba (long story!!) , but want to give my 110 300tdi a spruce up in the engine department. what potions do people recommend to shift oil...

so new sensor came, black top like the old one but was a bit longer, seemed to fit okay but did lose coolant when the old one came out, not a lot, just a jet escaped probably because it was still a bit warm and under pressure. new one had an o-ring as well so its tightened up and not leaking...

unfortunately no dice from the gauge when on a run so it looks like a new sender is needed. I assume its easy to fit and i won't lose too much coolant when i swap it over?

finally managed to get time today to poke around. tried to earth the cable to get the gauge to work but it wasn't doing anything so i cut back the sender wire and put on an extension, grounded it to the engine and the temperate gauge goes all the way up so at least i know the gauge is good...
