hmmm - trading standards have no idea where i can go to get the sample tested - anyone got any ideas, please ?

i definitely used the right pump (although obviously I appreciate that this does not necessarily mean that the right fuel came out of it !) - it's a service station I use regularly, I know exactly what pump I used and have also been back to check, plus I have a VAT receipt that states I bought...

....posted on here a month or so ago about a rough-running S2 TD5 that seemed to be down to fuel pump problems, well, it was - but with some extras the problem became apparent almost immediately after filling up, and when the RAC came out to have a look, after a quick sniff and a turn of the...

thanks Ratty, but think there's more to it than that - just had to nip out again, and the thing's running pretty rough, now sounding ropey on start up and idling and with poor throttle response - like the engine's just not getting what it needs when you ask it to respond - can get the RAC out...

hi all - any thoughts on the following would be very much appreciated: diesel auto TDR ES - been running fine, bit of white smoke when idling first thing in the morning, but otherwise no probs done a few miles today with the fuel light on, dozen or so at most, so filled up - as certain as you...

always a thorny issue, so I though't I'd let everyone know the outcome of my latest wrangling with the lovely people who claim to be 4x4 friendly fully comp, protected no claims on a 2001 TD5 ES valued at £10k, £200.00 excess sureterm direct (with a mileage limit of 15k) - £ 391.00 adrian...

due to ongoing poverty brought on by a recent house purchase (well, not so much the house as the "must have" new curtains/taps/kitchen and other woman-related tat...) - i propose to do the unthinkable and get just a pair of new tyres, bearing in mind that the current state of play is that one is...

Hi everyone - after a triumphant summer of leak repairs (silicon sealer having put an end to the deluge through the rear light fittings, front light fittings, map compartments, rear air-con outlets etc etc), i have just one water source left to deal with - out of the (top) seatbelt hole on the...

thanks redhand, that's how i want them to work, but when you say "wired correctly" does that mean as per the standard guidlines for fitting the kit i have - i'd imagine that is the case, as it's far and away the most sensible way for the things to operate.....

right, due to yet another result on ebay, i know have yer actual Land Rover auxiliary wiring kit for my S5K's and, having spent many hours decoding the instruction manual, have resolved to try wiring the things up myself only thing is, the instructions don't actually say how the things will...

thanks, lookskyward - think i might be having a word with the bloke who did the servicing for me.....:rolleyes:

heh - found the full instructions on my RAVE disc - and only a sequence of forty seven steps to complete installation ! i appear to have missed about forty of these out, hence one or two spare velcro bits :D

in a fit of yet more inexcusable expenditure, i have acquired a pair of the above (off e-bay, for thirty quid :D !!!!), and consequently have a witless query or two: can they be wired up so the dipped/main beam operates alongside my existing headlights (ie working off the same switch off the...

ok ok - this is borderline freelander type gay, i know, but bear with me... sore afeared of having coke, sticky sweets, crayon, puke and general child related filth all over my nice leather seats, and not having a long enough stick to reach 'em for administering corporal punishment while i'm...

e-bay - from a seller called phillipstuart33 (click this link - it'll take you to his e-bay "shop")

brilliant ! :p just got round to this s'afty, having been - well - a little sceptical - and, three quarters of an hour in to the "simple ten minute fitting procedure" i was even more convinced that the filth, grease, effort and swearing would not be worth the effort (i managed, with some skill...

i'd add a couple of things to Battenberg's comprehensive list, having now had my first DII for a month - and all of them are things I knew before buying, so they're just comments rather than serious gripes or astounding revelations: - if you're 6'5", the rear view mirror gets in the way when...

i was going to leave it to the missus to sort out, on the basis that it comes under the heading of "general housework" and is therefore her responsibility...

brilliant - thanks :)

one of the few comments resulting from todays service - and not an unreasonable one having spent several months parked at the coast with the salty air an' all - was that it would be a good idea if i gave my undercarriage a spray with "wax oil" to nip any nascant rust spots in the bud anyone...
