    Radios and their use in the UK and Europe?!

    Cb is legal in Europe, and most places in the world. you just have to make sure you use the correct frequencies. Simple in the EU, buy a CB in the UK that is 40/80 channel, switch it to UL in the UK, then when in Europe switch it to EU, or 80 Do you need a licence to use a CB radio in the UK...

    ...very quiet here!

    not a bad guess.....Buntyland is right on the North / East Herts border. Which is strange as Stevenage is in North Herts district but we are farther north! Next village up is in North herts. East herts HQ is actually in Bishops Stortford, which has a CM postcode and Harlow phone code lol

    Any Rover HAMs Here?

    Nice set up you have there, I always fancied an SDR system like that. Last HF rig I had was the TS590. I do have an HW-101 which needs a big overhaul before it will work again, but just don't have the time, hence a small mobile rig might be on the cards :-)

    Jordan's Discos. TD5 and V8.

    Nice looking disco :-) It must be a Land Rover owner's thing. My 3 year old has acquired about 10 model Land Rovers now, loves when we go 'off roading' daddy and he has now taken up looking underneath my disco with me :-)

    Squeak / whine when running

    Hi, Fan belt is new, but if the alt bearings are wearing and maybe the new belt is tighter making it more noticeable. I'll try the hose pipe trick and direct my attention to alt and tensioner first Thanks people, sometime you get a blinkered look when looking for a problem, and a fresh person...

    Squeak / whine when running

    Hi, Just out of interest I have a whine / squeak when the engine is running. It started off as a squeak around 2000rpm, but now is more of a whine in time with engine speed, wondering what I should be looking for. Had a listen but can't seem to pinpint it. Had new water pump, p-gasket and...

    Series 3 Glow Plugs - a stupid question

    if they are the original 2.25 engined glow plugs they are wired in series, with a ballast resistor thus each one rated at 2v I think, not 12v, so testing with 12v could 'pop' them. Best use an ohm meter, can't think of the resistance off the top of my head, but if you get an infinite reading...

    Egr blank kit 300tdi

    Hi, Quick question I'm about to get a blank to got on the EGR valve, leaving it in place. If removed totally, which is really what I want to do, would mr MOT man get the hump? If he want to see one I'll just blank the exhaust port, and put the valve back on :-) 1997 300tdi disco Many Thanks Dan
