    Greenlaning etiquette???

    You can wear all the PPE you like, but the fact is you'd be operating a chainsaw in a public place, a public road no less, you're into working on the highway/road closure legislation, public liability ins and no doubt a whole ruck of elf & safetly bollix, before you look at permissions. It'd...

    300tdi chirping!!!

    I had a similar issue on my 300tdi after fitting a new tensioner, chased it for weeks, spent an afternoon moving a penny about, in the end I swapped the tensioner for a genuine part and sent the first replacement back for a refund.

    Green Lanes in and around portsmouth

    Had a quick mooch on Memory Map. Have a look up the A3 North of Clanfield, West of Petersfield a few North of Petersfield too before you get to the A31, then check em out on the county definitive map to see if they're still open and not TRO'd/PRO'd looks like you could have a days worth of lanes...

    Swivel ball kits

    I had to rebuild my front axle in March this year, I'd seen MarkL's post about teflon swivel balls so I was a bit perplexed as to which ones to fit. I went to Rockingham Land Rovers and spoke to Ray about the situation, they've fitted hundreds of them with no reports of this issue, so I went...

    Wading kit

    I can't speculate on that mate, I can only report what I did and how it turned out. Both times I tried it the engine stopped within about 8-10 seconds. If there's no air getting into the engine it will stop, regardless of the fuel it's using*, or it's breaking the laws of chemistry...

    Wading kit

    Yeah, I used a heavy duty gash bag on my 300tdi, and I used a waterproof coat on on my mates 200tdi. If it won't stop running it's getting air from somewhere besides the top of the snorkel, or it's braking the laws of chemistry.

    Wading kit

    Once you've sealed the snorkel, test it with a heavy duty plastic bag wrapped over it, if it stalls you're good to go ;)

    Off-Road GPS....

    The tablets can run sat-nav android apps just like yer phone, but I've not found one that speaks, or works that well either. You can run goggle maps to find addresses etc. but it needs a net connection. There's hardly any lag on the nexus GPS using MM. Mite be best having a dedicated sat-nav if...

    Intermittent Ignition on my 1987 LR 90

    Check all your engine/body earth straps and clean them too, could try using a jump lead from battery neg to engine, if all that fails it's probably the solenoid.
