Hi and many thanks all for the replies. I like my hippo, (its a HSE) but I still miss my old Disco. In my heart, I would love a Japanese market one in auto that's been re-imported here again.. I cannot get under and blaze away with my little used MIG no more. I will admit to buying far too many...

Hi, and please all of you, I am the EX easye1 I have not had my disco now for some years but ended up with a nice hippo..I have requested to be taken off the LZ map a few times as I'm unable to help.. I`m now 74 "not so well" and disabled so no bluddy use to anyone..lol I even get my hippo...

Such a bright future we look forwards to then - not. My happy 10 years of ownership of a 1991 3 door TDi ran happily on 50% fresh new cooking oil, 50% diesel, plus a splash of unleaded to help clean lines, injectors and pumps.. Left wondering whats the best additives for either Petrol vehicles...

Well, Interesting replies, thank you all.. Never thought of stripping out the EGR, i just purchased a shiny alloy fake one, but had Intentions of spraying it a flat black before fitting.. Ever since I purchased my 54 plate autobox one nearly 2 years ago, I have been adding good old fashioned...

Use what the American's call a shop vac, it`ll suck any debris out i would think. How do the others clean out gunk in the inlet ports with engines in vehicle in the UK then ? Have you seen UK based videos doing this.

Time very soon for another full service. Had the oil a year, the service parts since before last Christmas.. Life things get in the way

Hi all, while watching the world of youtube I came across a novel, quick, easy way of cleaning out crud from inlet ports I have so read about. An American technician does it this way on AUDI engines. I thought it clever ?

After repairing cars since I was 16 years old, now 73 years old, my FL1 badly needed new lower arms and anti roll bar links. It also needed a MOT.. I arranged the Garage to fit the new arms and links also included the rubber bushes but were not need as the ones on the car were good enough for...

Many thanks Nodge, I tried to buy a new switch thinking it was now 17 years old, but confusing information as to what type I had, so, being disabled I used my phone set to face cam, stuck that under the dash to find what of 2 types of switch it was.. Seems its the more boxy looking type, as i...

Thanks all. Must be honest I dont go out much lately under our lock down rules plus my seemingly never ending Hospital visits, but, to aid freezing my brass monkeys off, i have started making and fitting "Roll up sides" on my car port, made from stout wooden lengths fitted to very heavy duty...

Many thanks for the info.. I will get on with my service items and during so will take off the EGR If only to clean, but Is all down to what i find. I only work now at snail speed on car and vespa scooter bits, and as usual left it all in the better weather till the last minute..I can play the...
