Hi,
Just want to say hello. I live in central France, and if I'm not mistaken quite close to Dave "thebiglad" who offered some advice a few years ago. I'm not new to Land Rovers, I've only just got rid of my 200TDI after 12 or so years, it died and couldn't pass the French MOT, bad and very sad. Too near to salt water in Blackpool for too many years and not a lot left of the body....
But now I've just bought an '98 300TDI auto XS, still in the UK waiting for me to bring it back here next week. There is a little thing I need to ask but I'll put it in the correct section another time.
Hope it'll be as simple as the 200, I kept that going here for 10 years with string and masking tape and cat food cans, don't ask !
I am (was) a Mercedes trained mechanic but that was 40 years ago but for the past 30 years design and build audio amps, so some little mechanical (most forgotten) and electrical knowledge.
Looking forward to the forum and knowledge that's shared here.
Best....Graham
