Anybody ever fit a chargecooler to a 200/300tdi or TD5? Was thinking of trying to get more power and understand how a larger intercooler would help but, gettin into the spirit of the Land Rover thang, I thought I'd try to bodge summat up. There are some very small, neat chargecoolers...

Bloody Simmonites! Like 'em or loathe 'em...they're bloody expensive. £10+VAT for changing a tyre between rims, £5+VAT per rim as an added extra when, after struggling to get the spare tyre off the rim...and not managing it...I refused to pay for the labour time. I had 4 rims done. The extra...

Morning All. Just had some Zu Rims fitted to the 90, (I'll take a couple of pics if anyone's interested). Hit a snag in that the Boost alloys I replaced used spacers, the Zu rims don't and the hub studs on the front axle were too long for the wheel nuts I was using. The hub studs were longer...

I've had a mooch and done a few searches and find a LOT of conflicting views on the use of Molybdenum / PTFE type additives such as Slick 50 in your vehicle. Most say "no" to using it with engine oil but in gearboxes the results are less conclusive. So...anyone got any views or ever tried the...

An inspection has shown quite a few bushes that could do with replacing on the 90. So....are polybushes the way to go and, if so, any recommendations on which to buy or where to buy 'em?? Any feedback appreciated as always. :)

Yeah...there is a catch....2 akchully :p You gotta be within a reasonable distance of where I live....Rossendale You gotta be able to give my Deepender the once over and give me an idea of what is good, bad and ugly abaht it. In return for which....I'll get you pukin' drunk!! :D Had the...

Took me sick 90 down to a local independent this morning. Anyhoo, apparently my front propshaft is a 2nd hand bodge, certainly been superseded and was never the correct shaft for a 300Tdi anyway...so I'm told. So, should I go for a new standard prop and leave it at that, upgrade to a new HD...

Hi All. Need a quick answer if possible. :o I've removed my front prop-shaft to try and identify the cause of a judder/vibration that has just started on my Deepender 300Tdi. Of course...I need to engage diff-lock to drive the truck. Front 2 wheels are now being pushed, not driven, but will...

OK, I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I have a judder that I need to get sorted. Just started this weekend and although it's not getting worse...yet...I'm concerned. Engine revs cleanly all the way in neutral. Revs cleanly and no judder in first and second In third....if I accelerate...

Y'know Buster....I was gonna suggest you cut off the other drop arm when I read your other post t'other night...... ....BUT I would've meant it as a JOKE!!!! :eek: :eek: Glad you got it sorted and some great pics there for the next one to try. I think the butchered drop arm pic should...

OK. The wipers are fooked. Not the 'lectrics...the mechanical bits. In the snow t'other day the wiper arm fell off the drivers side although conveniently froze to the bonnet so easily retrieved!! :rolleyes: Getting new arms and splined drum doobreys. What I am uncertain of is the wiper arms...

I've searched and read a LOT of threads about changing the barrels but still have a couple of questions. 1. If I buy a 4 barrel set so I can do rear door and filler cap....WILL one of the barrels fit the filler cap and are there any issues to be aware of during the changeover? 2. If I can't...

Had the 300TDi 90 for a few weeks now and noticed that the clutch seems to slip a little in top when accelerating on the motorway...anything over 50mph or so. The vehicle was "supposed" to have had a new clutch fitted about 6K miles ago so, unless someone is telling porkies, I don't think it...

Got the swing away spare wheel carrier from Paddocks and just fitted it today. Not the easiest of jobs and really does need two people and a good afternoon to fit but the end result is very pleasing and saves straining the door hinges. I know there are posts on other boards about the fitting...

I've got myself in a state as I have just bought a 300Tdi...or so I was told. There is nothing I have on paper that confirms this and I've checked the VIN but I'm told from the VIN details it could be: "model 11L (200Tdi) or model 16L (300Tdi)" The VIN states it is a MY95 but it was registered...

I still dunno if it is the done thing to mention specific enterprises on the forum but I dunno how I can pass on what I think is good info without doing so. If I commit a sin...be gentle with me. Anyhoo...decided to get some new hoops for the 90 as the Insa Special Track's that were on were a...

Okies I've had a good look round at the threads and understand the pro's and con's of adding a bigger intercooler to my 300Tdi 90. I have seen IC's mentioned from Jeremy Fearns, Twisted and Allisport. The JF unit is most expensive but no bad rep at all. The Twisted is les expensive but...

Morning Put this thread here as I wanted to get as many opinions as possible. I need to replace the Insa Turbo Special Trak tyres on my new 90. I'm not planning on going extreme off-roading at present and it's a waste to use them on the road. (They will be going up for sale if anyone is...

I was wondering if anyone would find it useful to have a thread, or similar, to list current prices of veg oil at their local supermarkets for other Landyzone members to browse?? Rather than try to find Biodiesel I've decided to do an in-tank mix of 50:50, DERV:Veg Oil. If so, I've added some...

Okies....just got a Defender and looking into running it on Biodiesel. Have a place fairly close to me in Rochdale that does B100 and although I appreciate the issues with colder weather, I believe that mixing it with DERV or using one of the anti-freeze products should solve the issue for me...
