need to check the oil pump bolt. if this has come loose and lost oil pressure then that could explain the lack of accelleration (engine could be seizing up)

what engine you got? oil light means low oil pressure not level

yeah, check battery first. I had these come up every week or so until i changed the battery (old one was 7 years old)

i would go with the 04 plate. 26K on an X plate to me is a bit low for it's age (in that it could show up a few of the usual nasties i.e. head gasket due to plastic dowl's in the head, oil in loom etc)

i would go for the rangie and loose the A-bar . I do think they are a bit on the pricey side (the other vehicles they have look a bit high too i.e 03 plate disco 2 for £12K:eek:) Get yourself up this way, have seen similar vehicles for less than £13k

Opps! Must wake up properly before Reading posts (and then read them correctly!!) think you would struggle on a td5 as the main heat source (maniflod) is quite small and also covered by a heat shield

have a look in the defender section. there's a post in there about it. i'm running about 70/30 veg oil mix with no problems so far. CharlesY has been doing it for longer and reports no problems

A6 is shut just south of Buxton due to a landslide. Take the A515 south then cut across to the A6 or take A623 (will have to go north for a bit to Dove Holes)

Veg oil works out at 85p lt compared to derv which is 115p round here. Going to see if local ph will let me have waste oil ?!

Allways been a BFG fan, but have heard so much + feedback about the AT2's think i'll go for a set of them next time

day 1 - 40 miles: No change in performance, or perhaps slightly down (might be time to change filter?) Starts OK even in sub 0 temps (bit lumpy to start with but once cyl 5 warms up she's ok) Smells a bit funny out the back!! engine is MUCH quieter. was a bit tappy top end before but now...

where abouts in Holymoorside is it? never noticed a site when i've driven thro!

try the oil filler cap!!! covered the engine bay of my old renault 19 16v. noticed smoke coming from under the bonnet, checked, found cap on inner wing! and for the best bit................took it to petrol station, pressure washed the engine, nice clean engine bay. drove it down the...

only put in 3lts as only put 17lts or derv in yesterday. only done about 5miles so far so will see how it goes over the weekend!

did it right after i posted!! called in at Paddocks for a couple of filters to be safe!

thinking about taking the plunge and chucking a couple of bottles of svo into the tank but have read on the net that it's too thick and will bugger up the fuel pump?

you need to give it a drive now you've cleared the fault codes. A lot of those look like they could be caused by oil in the loom (injector ones give it away!).

could be a number of things but I would check that the fuel pump is priming (can you hear it pump with the igition on?) and get it on a diag machine to make sure the crank sensors not playing up

thats not bad. have been quoted £1200 just for the car + cleaning, air con discharge, paper work this end + dock and goverment charges the other end Still, it's prob only worth £4k over here and it would cost me in the region of $14K over there for the same model/year

Nope! all pressures as they should be. K&N (clean), recently serviced. even polished it at the weekend to see if that would improve MPG!!!
