To PM do I just click your icon, and start a conversation ?

That sounds great, but at present I am sitting on my hands until I start earning a wage, Dundee is hours away, so half a shift there, should he be up for the travel, but yes great to know, and thanks again.

Aye that's what I thought by those with experience, I bought my 06 D3 with 98,000 on the clock, with the proviso that the belts were changed, I have a bad feeling they only changed the easier front belt, its, a year later done 112k and it's always at the back of my mind it was not done, how much...

Ok so it was an engine out job ?

Was all this a body off job.

It would have been good to have a real oil pressure guage fitted like my daughter's classic mini !

I've always put in a bottle of lucas oil fortifier, in my D2-used it in my trucks, really looked after the engines.

Looks like a bit of work.

I used one of my mig gun liners and the difference is night and day, so obvious where the level is, cheers lynall I did leave it overnight but even so its crap.

I understand where you are coming from, but their are two sides to every coin, as a mechanical engineer, (Ex BA) I appreciate the fit between metallic components, and all my older vehicles, be they 20 year old discos, 40 year old kawasaki motorcycle, 60 year old tractors and so on run happier...

Garage, and I really trust them, as they used to maintain my truck, problem is the design spec when new, is not always relevant with higher mileage, example my daughter put her Toyota Avensis into garage for oil change, I know, I was on holiday, she brought it round as it was really noisy, sure...

No light, but I like to know what's going on, hence post, its a crap design, with lots of confusing oil coloured segments.

It's only about 3 months since oil change, seeing slight haze on start up, engine done about 112k used semi synthetic cant get my head round it but feel I may drain and replace with gtx or similar and a lucas higher mileage additive, which has kept my disco 2 happy for near twice that mileage...

Pulled the dip stick about 6 times and wiped it each time, STILL not convinced I am seeing a genuine reading, thinking its just picking a small amount of oil each time from the tube, really don't like the design, worried I am low on oil, thoughts.

Lol I done a screenshot, to show where it was, recon my girl pasted the landy home page/link onto my screen.

It's beyond me, but she put that on my screen, I click it and that's it

Cheers, sf
