unusual mine run on paraffin for years and its the same type
I just got 586m before my reserve light came on, surely you should about the same? Although was nearly all motorway driving at 63 mph
YO
sweet thread dude, read it through, really looking forward to seeing this develop, have a soft spot for modded td5s and modded d2s
Ahhh wash my mouth out with petrol!
Cheers.
Done loads of stuff that I forgot to add in too. Before I got the D2 I'd never done a thing with cars, not even an oil change, dunno why I've always had a way with mechanical stuff
Hoping to have it done before my France trip early August.
In real terms it just needs a steady day with a press to reassemble it.
Then the tbox needs stripping down and rebuilding.
Swapover is a days job at my mate's who has a 4 poster lift.
Wouldn't hurt to speed me up if you had a date you need the box by....
Not sure I agree re tyre size and mpg. Where I worked out the mpg it's just slightly over the suggested combined average. Bearing in mind I did 500miles of the 586 on the motorway. Also, if they work out the miles and therefore also speed on stock tyres, what the heck would they use. Besides, compared to other posts, I'm about average, with some guys getting great mileage. So either way, I'm still pleased! Great post, your attention to detail in fantastic!
UK construction and use regs say a speedo should be within 10% between 20 and 90mph.
EU regs add that speedos should not show a speed that is lower than the actual speed of the vehicle. So if you are doing 70mph, your speedo should read between 70 and 77. LR will have used this as their start point.
Did you check those turbo oil seals?
