sounds more like a typical bmw driver to me

on that budget your better off looking at discos unless youve got overwelming reasons for buying a fender

tis obvious you got to run it in to loosen everything up to get good mpg under 150k you got no chance

until you get into electronics and computer controled windows, its all pretty basic. if you can read a wiring diagram a hour or two with a haynes manual from a 70s vehicle and the backs of several envelopes will give you all the basic wiring you need i still delve into my 66 cortina manual if...

oh dear... before we get any more crap its quite simple more engine revs = more torque(turning force)= more wheel spin on slippery surfaces use highest gear that the engine will pull at minimum smooth revs. revs. on a flat smooth road on ice , stick it in low 1, diff locked , rev...

pillock.... if he was nicking it hed want starter and "other" wiring to get it started ....wouldnt be asking about the alternator. and dont shed too many crocodile tears about robint s workshop you aint fooling anyone we all know yer couldnt give a toss about anyone elses troubles.

why yu ****ing about with the waggly bucket when its got a dozer blade?

theres wiring diagrams in a haynes manual if you cant find any elsewhere but in principle the starter has the thick wire from battery positive to the big conection on the solenoid, there a seperate little connector on the solenoid which needs a feed from the start switch. alternator has a big...

before you start a refurb just make a sensible estimate of the time it will take, then double it and be realistic about whether you have the time to commit to it., same with the costings. whilst anything is physically possible if you have the time , money and skills its not the right...

glow plugs should only stay on for less than a minute after a cold start. tis worth replacing the fuel filter if it ait been done lately...cold start needs more diesel ... thats why full throttle helps. cranking speed on the starter motor is a big factor....just turning over on a cold morning...

sold my rusted out 200tdi disco on fleabay...got over 600 for it... engine is going into a fender aparently, add on the grand estimate for the welding and its a good wedge to look for a replacement .....the wifes picasso seems ok so far in our snow

probably one of the cv joints, jack the front up on axle stands , take the diff filler plug out and rotate one of the front wheels.... the one thats broke wont turn anything in the diff..... if they both turn bits in the diff but the propshaft dont try and turn the diff is bust.

90 per cent of the people driving on the roads havnt got a clueabout driving on anything other than reasonably dry tarmac, most dont even realise that water is an excelent lubricant for rubber, unless you extend the theory part of the driving test beyond accident avoidance things wont get any...

lucky there wernt a large water filled ditch hidding under the snow here in somerset we had about 3 inches, but there was no ice under it , went out in the picasso about 10 am no trouble on the lanes at all , the abs kicked in on the test emergency stop just down the road, but no trouble at...

you got masses of waste heat from the engine...either in the cooling water or the exhaust gasses. plumb a second heater rad in parallel with the cab heater, or somehow divert some of the airflow through the existing heater direct to the rear. perhaps a duct fittd over the existing floor...

how about a blower in the bulkhead to blow warm air from the cab back into the loadspace

haynes is a workshop manual .how to repair it when youve broke it.... what you need is theorigional lr drivers handbook which explains the vehicle features and how to use it so you dont break it.

what jm said isv essentially correct but probably not crystal clear the high and low is a two speed gear behind the main gearbox.... low reduces all speeds in the main gearbox, use low when you want more power (higher enginerevs) at low groundspeed, useful reversing a heavy trailer for...
