it was low on a list of jobs I have been working through, but the cold spell hit and it suddenly shot to the top of the list. I have done loads of other stuff like refrbing rear axle casing, polybushing, transfer gear....a long list - I had always suspected the stat, but never expected such a...

changed my thermostat today, unbelievable difference

thamks for the advice, I read it takes about 11 or 12 litres altogether, so assuming the mix is about 50/50, I have only lost about half a litre of AF, so I am happy I will be OK until I get the chance to flush and change the lot. I am actually looking forward to getting in it tomorrow at...

Changed the thermostat today in my 200 tdi, and now the heater works lovely, and for the first time ever the temp guage gets off the bottom and sits nicely in the middle. I also have muffled the rad at the front, and another little tip - the 2 plastic shrouds that direct the air downwards...

I've seen it done with pop rivets by a professional bodyshop and it looks fine, they even put rivets in the other side too to match, and then resprayed the whole lot. Not sure about the doors, but I bet people on here have done it.

yes, gasket is with the new one

Hi all, is this a big job in a 200tdi? I have the new stat ready to go in, but I am pretty reliant on the defender for the next few weeks as my other car is rear wheel drive and awful in the ice, and I am very busy doing approx 100 miles a day. I might have a go at it tomorrow, I have all...

I would be interested to hear of that Jai if possible? I only just discovered this thread, and one of my workshops sits just 2 miles outside the zone, which is going to make life virtually impossible for me if this actua;;y happens. I think I would have to get rid of the old girl.

got any pics? Sounds like a good idea, I suppose on my 200 tdi I would need to make sure I didnt cover the area where the air gets in through the intercooler?

It has no windows in the back. Last time I taxed it was £185.00 Does that mean it is commercial?

I have googled this a it but not really found a clear cut answer. My land rover is a business vehicle (ie owned by my LTD company), basically its my van for moving old machinery about. My accountant asked me today if it is a "commercial vehicle" for tax purposes. I have tried to find out...

Hi, I actually live near High Wycombe, but I would drive out as far as Newbury or Reading to meet/collect. Its a CO2 pub gas bottle for mig welding. If anyone is coming up this way please let either myself or fanatic know. cheers

I am very interested in this Fanatic, can they be sent though? I am in Buckinghamshire.

how do you get pub gas?

I have a Sealey 150 amp gasless mig welder, which is OK, but I get a lot of spatter and its all a bit rough. I have bought the kit to convert it to a regular gas mig, I want to experiment a bit before I get a big bottle, so I am going to get some disposable Argon/Co2 cannisters. What I...
