Cheers for the response guys.

Quality 15W40 engine oil or cheap oil? What do you use?

Been underneath the 90 recently draining and changing oils but had to stop at the gearbox as didnt have the right tool. Doing a search has shown I need a torx 55 so I`ll get one of those then can do that oil change. Then on to the engine oil/filter - its also been said `dont bother with...

Further to the earlier discussion about improving the dash gauge illumination, the consensus was that LED replacement was the way to go. On ebay, a couple of listers are selling a full set of blue or red replacement LED bulbs that just slot in. The cost is £14.99 or £24.00 for the same item, it...

Some good stuff there, thanx all, even wiltshire landyman (although the way some drive round here I`d soon lose my voice using his method!! ):D

I dont know if they are all like it, but the horn on my `94 90 is pathetic. :o Its embarrassing that a big tough looking Landy has such a soft, squeaky voice. I fancy putting a big feck off loud one on, not musical or `owt but a big `ol fog horn. Anyone done this? What did you go for?

Thanx pos. Now that was the answer I was looking for. I find it difficult to understand the anger in some folk. I wish all people were as tolerant as you, especially to us just learning Land Rovers.

Now I have done a search and also recieved some good info already. However, don`t be too quick to flame me, but I need to ask this question on behalf of a friend who is considering the engine upgrade. "What are the differences between the Disco 300tdi and a Defender 300tdi?" I will pass your...

I and tex90 went and enjoyed the day (with one reservation). We went `cos were new and enthusiastic about the sport and look forward to any opportunity to have a pay and play, especially with a good cause attached. Because we are new, we haven`t been exposed to the politics that were felt and...

Thanx for that ratty.

There is virtually no illumination in any of the gauges on my dash. Most light comes from petrol gauge and that is really bright green from right side of background. Turbo gauge a bit better then temp worse and finally speedo almost black. All quite dodgy at night of course. Had the binnacle off...

Got a new wire rope to replace the old grotty one on my superwinch. When i fix the electrics,(it winds out on the remote but wont wind it back on), I`ll need to fit the new one. How do they attach? All the same or different?

WOW...£120 :eek: It`s perfect, but I`ll wait for lerks prototype and buy from him! :)

Now that wet winter days are upon us, combined with hot breath, much misting up is occuring. The screen heater blow is ok once up to speed, but non existant to the driver/passenger windows. Is this a fault with mine or a design fault? I do of course have a very hi tech rag with which to wipe...

The day I attended, I was told the quarry was privately owned by a local land owner who rented it out. How often and to whom, I dont know. The next Suffolk 4x4 Club `public driving day` is planned for 24th Jan at Badwell Ash. The one after that is scheduled for 21st March, venue to be confirmed...

Yeh, cheers redhand, I did read it. Excellent article and just what we need, but too tech for me so will let my mate read it and get a copy. Thanks for that. :)

Sorry wiltshire landyman and all other senior members, I know newbies ask dumb questions that you have all seen a dozen(hundred!) times, but when that little `search` box comes up you just dont know what the hell to type in :o Its such a small box for so many long winded questions!! ;) A short...

A friend has an `87 2.5 turbo which is now underpowered and tired. He wants to put in either a 200tdi or 300tdi. Which is the better engine, if any, and is a Disco 300tdi superior or inferior in any way? In terms of work needed to accept a newer engine, apart from engine mounts which he is aware...

No pics unfortunately :( . I had to go alone this time, one mate busy, the other unsure of his engines fitness for the task! There would have been some awesome pictures too :rolleyes:. Oh well, next time maybe.

Well I went! The officials Neil, Max and Martin, who run the event were fantastic. Friendly and eager to give help and tips, with both vehicle and driving. The event is held in a quarry with the usual easy, medium and radical parts including lots of water/mud. I was tentative at first, the...
