    Anyone use Event ML698 Tyres?

    I have Event ML698's all round. Give off a nice hum when on smooth tarmac. I have no complaints with them. They did drop my MPG by 2 (I'm at 39mpg now, Ronbox + EGR delete, inlet cleaned and Diesel Rhino additive in the fuel) but that's to be expected as there's more rolling resistance than the...

    TD4 Vibration @ low revs the final frontier!!!

    Different car but similar problem. My old Audi A3 diesel quattro had the same vibration problem. There was a number of things to check: - Engine Mounts - Aux belt tightness - Aux belt pulleys - Alternator pulley and output voltage - Injectors - Clutch (DMF) - Engine Oil -...

    Face lift headlight guards no longer available

    Life with my Landy (Platty's Project Thread)

    Yep, you're absolutely right. Much like when I'm pouring a scotch out, "a little more never hurt anyone" is my philosophy ;) Hey Adam! Nice to meet you the other week. Wheels look good, but sound great! I love the hum they produce on smooth tarmac! Thanks. The scangauge is a neat...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    A couple of weekends back I went down to Beachy Head for a stroll along the cliff tops with the Mrs. My plan of pushing her off was scuppered when I stepped on a piece of molten bubble gum. It stuck like sh!t to a blanket to the bottom of my shoe. I thought I'd gotten it off after a slightly...

    Our project Td4

    I've got a lttle GTechniq C4 left which you're welcome to try if you like? PM me your address and I'll post it up to you. You need some Isopropyl Alcohol to thoroughly clean the trim before you use the C4. Make-up removal pads are what you use to wipe the C4 on and off again. I've not...

    electrical gremlns....

    Did you tighten the battery terminals when you checked them? Also, If you have electrical multi meter check the resistance of the ground. From the negative battery terminal to an exposed metal part of the chassis/engine you should have a very low reading.

    Pre: MOT questions

    Mine went through it's MOT with the Ron box active and additive (Diesel Rhino) in the fuel. No advisories either :5bcheers2:

    Life with my Landy (Platty's Project Thread)

    Good stuff. I'm about to run out of the Diesel Rhino I bought. That bottle I ordered has lasted 4 months (I do around 1k miles per month). I was putting in 100ml when filling up (57 litres) which I think is slightly too much. If you're been using Millers prior to Diesel Rhino you might not...

    Removing spare wheel bracket/brake light?

    Having a central high level brake light is not a MOT requirement. There is only a requirement for 2 rear brake lights on a motor vehicle (one if pre 1971). However if you have one fitted on the car when you take it in for the MOT it must be operational.

    1.8 litre 2001 petrol

    Don't buy one with your fingers crossed. Lots of research on the problems, then have a GOOD poke round it. Service history is a must too.

    Found this in Facebook

    I quite like the hum more aggressive AT tyres make.

    cruise control

    Pinned you to the seat as it set about flooring the accelerator all the way to the redline! Damn child in me! I had cruise control on my Pathfinder. I miss having it, especially on longer trips.

    Face lift headlight guards no longer available

    The first link is a company out in Czech Republic. Not sure if I trust them or not....More research required on my part. Not contacted FlatDog yet, however you can't add their guards to your basket to complete checkout. I'll ask them the question. The 3rd link is for Freelander 2 guards...
