    Veggie oil - am I an idiot?

    Not even 10%? I was just thinking about chucking a bit of excess in it from time to time.

    Veggie oil - am I an idiot?

    I was going for 5 microns - might have been over ambitious. Filter Council (yes there is a filter council ffs) These people suggest 10-50 for primary filter and 3-10 for a secondary filter for high pressure injector. As I might put some of this stuff in a Disco TD5, I went a bit cautious.

    Veggie oil - am I an idiot?

    I will try and keep this updated as I progress. I started trying to cold filter last night using one of these bags. No chance. I left it all night and there is still 4" left in the bottom. So unfortunately I have to use either pressure or heat or both as suggested elsewhere here. So I...

    Disco wheels onto defender - can I frig it?

    Thanks for the offer, but I'm not looking to spend at the moment. I bought these alloys for £50 with the intention of tarting them up and swapping for the original steel rims (which have a certain charm). They have about three useable tyres between them and one has been wire brushed a...

    Are they a better fit on the Defender?

    Disco wheels onto defender - can I frig it?

    I have some old Disco alloys I want to put on a 1993 90 200Tdi. They are a tight fit over the hubs where they touch at the end of the spokes, but they go on by tightening the wheelnuts (:doh: I know). I did a :search: and it looks like putting them on like this will end up weakening the...

    can you use Bio diesel in a 200tdi

    Not yet, but I am planning to just gravity filter through a 5 micron filter bag I got off eBay. I am no expert. I will keep updating the thread I started here and will report back if everything goes bang. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f16/veggie-oil-am-i-idiot-72430.html

    can you use Bio diesel in a 200tdi

    No worries. I am going to use it, 100% WVO if I can. The first 160 litres is settling and should be ready next week. I just thought it would be worth narrowing down why this guy had a real problem.

    can you use Bio diesel in a 200tdi

    You're probably right, but this is reality for some people. If you have got the time, skills and equipment then you know that the financial downside of pouring veg oil into a landy engine is pretty low. There are others (probably not on here) who are happy to go to a main stealer to get a...

    can you use Bio diesel in a 200tdi

    Hi, sorry to jump in. Please can you expand on this it would be really useful to know exactly what you were doing. You are one of the first examples I have seen anywhere of someone having a real problem (not "I read, I heard, I think, a dealer/friend/village idiot said"). I have a load of...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Changed the shocks all round with new turrets. Haven't driven it yet, but it seems higher at the front. The old ones were f88kd.

    How to - replace a 200 TDi Defender front Shock Absorber.

    PS. I ended up replacing the turrets as well. The top of one looked like it had been under the sea for the last 15 years. Another LR bright idea: make the top of the turret like a cup to hold the water (salty in winter) and put it in the wheel arch open to the elements but where you can't see it.

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Changed the battery. Cut the packing straps off the new battery with pliers, then tossed them back in the toolbox. What a shot! pierced the large, almost full, can of WD40 with a hole just big enough for the contents to pss out everywhere. With brain still failing to engage, and WD40 still...

    Self level/HDC non-starter

    I just tried the ignition on for 5 mins and then 5 pumps on the accelerator mentioned in the ACE thread. Lights still came on, but it started eventually, was lumpy far a few seconds and now works fine. The oddest thing. I am now going to take these features off the disco and replace them with...
