I went out to a local car parts place today that had about 5 different makes of EP90. I managed to find one that had the spec down as API GL5 / GL4 (and then some other letters I can't remember - maybe MT1 as mentioned, but not sure) does anyone reckon this would be OK, or should I try and...

Not as bad as covering the windscreen in half a can of WD40 (in the dark) before realising why it wasn't de-icing very well!! Anyway, thanks guys - gotta figure out where the hell I can buy GL4 EP90 now. All I've seen around here for diffs / gearboxes is 80w90 (GL5 spec - just checked the...

...in the absence of a manual or Google pulling anything up, can someone tell me what oils to put in diffs & gearboxes of an early Series III. Is it the usual 80 / 90 all round for diffs, transfer box? Not sure about the main gearbox!? Cheers, Matt

Sorry YD, but it is true. Any sort of towing aside from on a trailer is illegal unless it is an emergency. All these people towing cars around behind motorhomes are doing so illegally unless the vehicle they are towing is under a certain weight (500kg in France, not sure about UK) such that...

Seems like you've answered your own question!

Can't quite believe it, my first MPG test and I get 28.9 MPG - that was with 4 adults, 2 children, luggage, a roof box and the air con on full blast! Bearing in mind that it is an auto I can't quite believe it - I was expecting 25 at best! Be interested to see what it does without all the...

Thanks Jason. Opened up the fuse box and messed with the connectors I could see, but hasn't made any difference. Got the air con recharged today, what a difference!! BTW, did you go and see that French Disco in the end? Matt

Yeah, I think that's the problem - I think it needs turning off by a pro - so how the hell do I know what I do has actually fixed it?!! Bit like the air suspension on a P38, bloody pain. Any idea if the airbag light is a fail for the CT? I'm wanting to get it French reg ASAP. Matt

Airbags! SRS - Something (Seat??) Restraining System! You know, you can't design anything in a vehicle now unless you can shorten it to a TLA!! Matt

The SRS light has suddenly appeared on the dash. It kind of looks like it is trying to flash (although only one side flashes! and is more apparent that it is flashing from the passenger seat!) anyway, it flashes for about 1min and then stays on all the time. Is there anything common to this...

Adjust your screen! :)

So sum ov de peeps on ebay must b geneuses den loking at sum ov their spelin. Me fav is wen sum1 is selin a "sterio in origanal condision" YD - who told you about my collection of dresses?! Matt

Well someone had to say it didn't they! What are you lot like, we get a girl on the forum and all of a sudden it's the longest post in LRZ history! Next time I have a question I'm opening up a new account and pretending to be a landy lady :) Now I come to think about it, she's being very coy...

It is also possible that your intercooler hoses are collapsing internally. Replace them with silicone ones - mine has already been done so I can't make a direct comparison, but the previous owner said it made quite a difference. As does taking the intercooler out and giving it a good clean out...

That easy eh?! :)

Blind, I'm blind!!! does that mean it's ****ed?! Someone said something about there being a green light on it when you press the button - I can't seem to get the light to come on. I'll try and dig out the multimeter and check for power at the mirror. Is there an easy way to remove it from the...

Sounds good! Will be coming Noirt way next week, prob Wed or Thurs to browse the depot ventes you showed me, so will pop in then if that is OK with you? Got back Tuesday night late, but been flat out getting the house ready for my parents who arrived this afternoon. Typically after all the...

Anyone know how to diagnose a dead automatic dimming rear view mirror? How hard does your fan blow?! The air con works - it is desperately in need of a recharge, but the real problem is that then the air comes out of the vents at little more than a trickle unless on full blast, and you could...

I wouldn't take my LR anywhere near a main dealer, not only are most of them clueless, they just blindly believe anything the computer tells them. Find yourself a good specialist - I can recommend an EXCELLENT one in Bristol. Someone on another group had exactly the problem you describe and it...
