Spotted a very small leak at the front of the car so upon investigation found it came from the power steering pipe from pump to reservior, thing is when I disturbed the pipe it started to **** out where it was retained by a plastic clip below and behind the rad, the wear was very bad and it gave...

I got a set of 17" Disco 3 wheels with ATs for the winter, all I needed was spigot rings and different wheel nuts, can't understand why the stud pattern would be different on yours. Davie

Can't believe battery security is not part of the mot, I just took for granted it would be. If I seen that I would wonder what else was not right, bloody hell a big heavy battery not secured should be criminal. But I did ask VOSA about the new rules and the answer I gave earlier was what they...

We have been over this, it is perfectly ok to upgrade headlights as long as the upgrade meets the legal requirements, coils will also be ok as long as its a recognised conversion, as said before I E mailed VOSA for clarification and that is what they told me. I mean you dont want people running...

8 in 10 chance that the head will be cracked, 2.5s and 2.8s well known for it and your right the 2.8 has ceramic inserts. Davie Fully paid up member of the Pajero cracked head club

I have Cooper ATR on mine, give a good ride in the dry and are very good in the winter. Davie:)

Thats right, but there still should be a little drag that is why if you spin it, it should not free wheel more than 5 turns when cold, also the motor gets too hot that is when it locks up and you get that roaring sound, I changed mine last year and the only time I heard it was when my engine got...

I put on coils and am totaly happy with the ride, niether choppy or wollowy, could be that the air springs were duff but they did not look too bad when I threw them in the bin. Davie:D

Not sure if I hold with the rolled up newspaper trick, try spinning the fan when the motor is cold, it should not freewheel more than 5 turns, also block of the air flow from the grill so that its not pulling cold air in and when you get to tempature the fan should start to roar but keep an eye...

Well it could if you have driven it hard, when you stop there is no airflow that is why on hot days you sometimes here the electric fans cutting in on modern cars when they have been stopped and also if sitting idling in traffic the viscous fans are not very efficent. Davie

Sounds like the thermostat to me, if its running too cool = excessive wear, poor fuel consumption. Davie

Advantage of the electric fan is that you could leave it running for 10 mins when you switch the engine off, in hot conditions this would help to cool the engine down, just a thought. Davie

Mate of mine had a classic in the eighties with bigger spots than that and they were in the centre, he never had any problems with overheating if thats what your concerned with for airflow to the rad. For Morocco have you thought about fitting an extra electric fan with a switch in the cab, that...

I have a set of Cooper Discoveror ATs for my winter tyres and find them very good in the white stuff, they also handle fine in the dry. Had Dunlop AT 2 on my Pajero a couple of years back and they were great tyres but quite expensive at the time. Davie

Agree with the X5 comments, know a guy who is looking for a coil kit and others I know who have had one say they are over rated but to say all BMW products are just marketing is a bit much, what about the M3 & M5 both trully greats in thier own lifetime. Davie

Think they are all pretty good in the white stuff guys, just the idiot with the low profile tyres is the problem, why on earth do you get a big 4x4 and stick on low profile tyres, seems to defeat the purpose if you ask me, why not just get a high performance estate if thats what you really want...

I would have them slightly more together, they actually look quite period for the age of the motor, question is do you like them or not, if it was me they would definatly be on. Bet they really light up the road at night. Post a picture at dusk with them lit up should look cool. Cheers Davie:D

Not too big and look great, keep em. Davie:)

You here a lot that the deisel is slow but its relative, if you have driven the V8 then yes, my last 4x4 was a Pajero and the Rangie would leave it standing, I know that the Shogun sport is no match as my mate has one. Get the auto as has been said earlier its not got a lot low down but the auto...

Data I think thats power scoops not rainwater collectors although it might do both jobs ha ha, what an awsome bonnet, do i want one erm NO, my god though it does look bloody awfull, I know i should not judge someone elses taste but its got to come under the heading Bad. Davie:eek:
