I hear what you are saying, but getting the right viscosity is important for engine life. One thing to note is modern oils have had a lot of the EP additives removed to protect catalytic converters and particle filters so a lot of classic car owners are experiencing excessive cam wear when using...

Yeah Millers are a quality outfit. You don't want too much ZDDP, about 1200ppm seems to be the general thumbs up. Over about 1400ppm and it starts to have negative effects and over about 2000ppm it starts to attack the grain boundaries in the steel! I'm going to do what i did with my Austin...

Since posting I've been nerding it up in the workshop manual to get a better idea about bearing clearances and oil pressure readings. Clearance wise they are much tighter than you would imagine, similar to a ford 2.0 zetec engine so the recommended SAE20,30/10w30 is right for a new engine. This...

A bit of a yawn but wondering whether any other series 1 owners use multigrade oils in their injuns rather than the monograde SAE20, SAE30, SAE40 recommended in the WS and operation manual. It does say multigrade oils are recommended for injuns in good order as long as they match the SAE grades...

Land Rover recommend the ford spec oil WSS M2C 934-B which is an ACEA C1 5w-30 oil Peugeot recommend PSA B71 2290 which is an ACEA C2 5w-30 oil It's a Peugeot engine so who do you think is right?

You have two oil filters The centrifugal oil filter gets changed every service and the normal oil filter gets changed every 3rd service. It's normal to be black as the fresh detergents in the new oil cleaned the deposits left behind by the old oil, also there will be oil left in the oil...

Stick with the 5w-30 LL04 (low ash) or 5w-40 LL01 synthetic oil that BMW recommend for the 320D remember to always change the breather valve filter (looks like a cotton reel) and the turbo vent filter every service as recommended by land rover

Needed setting correctly all working ok used sunroof motor for sale....

Typically we have a freeloader with the sunroof not working we've fitted new roof glass and guide rails for the usual reasons but the motor slips, got a motor from ebay (take that silly smirk off ya face) still the same sound like motor still? ps i have had a bit of a search but cant find...

you missed a great opportunity there mate lol Let me google that for you

It depends on the quality of the sound you are after, in my experience everything that i've ever had with kenwood written on it has been very very average. Pioneer make good products so if i had to choose between the two i'd go for them all day long. A decent head unit will make a big difference.

sounds a bit strange that it starts without the starter relay, it shouldn't do this. Are you sure you removed the starter relay or has someone bypassed it?

Well said

It will defo make a noticable difference when you change the transfer box oil, the diff oils will make a difference too. If there is one thing that gets missed on landies it's transmission lubes. They all need changing every 2 years or 24000 miles max so you will be blessing that pump every time...

There is a couple of minute differences between early R380's and late ones the up to date recommendation for your landy is defo ATF D2 not MTF94 some have used the difflock MTF fluid with success but it is different from MTF94, it's thinner and it's fully synthetic MTF94 is like a 10w40 and...

There was a case between Castrol and Mobil, Castrol were using the group 3 and calling it synthetic and Mobil were using Group 4 PAO and got a bit upset. Castrol ended up winning the case because the Group 3 oil was so altered from it's original state it could no longer be called a mineral or...

Wrong Most Synthetic oil is highly refined mineral oil known as group 3, group 4 synthetic contains PAO which is also derived from crude oil, group 5 synthetics are esters and are not made from crude oil. Semi synthetic has no more than 30% synthetic oil in it and that synthetic oil is highly...

What do the top and bottom hoses feel like? Both hot? could be a circulation issue
