Give me a shout if and when you do the Melton lanes, would be rude not to tag along seeing as they are my local ones..

I got myself one of THESE for Christmas. Seems a decent bit of kit and spec for the money.

If either of you are heading over to Melton at some point give me a shout as it's my local area. I know a couple of interesting lanes one I wouldn't try solo. Likewise if you want a tag on around Newark let me know :-)

Cheers pal. I'll tell the mrs to get me one for christmas!

Yeah still looking as I have been spending too much money on building my carport and garage plus haven't had the need as I havent had much time to take the landy out green laneing. The mrs is on my case asking me what she can get me for christmas. I think I will go with the one in the link...

Holy thread revival......but has anyone bought one of THESE seems a good spec for the price.

THIS post should enlighten you.

I think THESE are what Ttuck3r was refering to in post 2.

I have no idea if they are or not. Not to worry now, I have won a pair on eBay, awaiting delivery. Thanks anyhow.

They only do chevron in 10w 40 or 5w 30 in the 20l drums in Costco. I run the 10w 40 and it's good stuff. Euro car parts do it cheap too: http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-accessories/engine-oils-and-car-fluids/engineoils/10w40-engine-oil/?521776011&0&cc5_245

I'm after the upper and lower plastic steering column shroud/surround for my 90. Can anybody help? Near Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.

Britpart temperature sensor for my N/A.....fitted and worked straight out the box. Still going after 3 months....wonder if it will make it to a year.

Replaced the ignition switch as it wouldn't trigger the glow plugs and the key had to be held in position 3 to keep it running. Hardest bit was the grub screw the rear of the barrel.

I'd put just shy of 6 in, run it check level then top up to just below the max. These engines don't take kindly to being overfilled.

As per matchmetisse you will need to acid etch the ally if you want to go down the painting route, else the paint won't get a good key.

Yeah definitely satin as above.

Only just finished reading this thread from start to finish. Could have happened to anyone....glad you came out alright and as gutting as it is and I know it has been said already you can get your truck repaired or another, at least your alive to tell the tale. Deffo get it out ASAP before...

Sounds like a plan!

Marmaduke - I see you are fairly local to me. You will have to come over to Melton Mowbray area if you fancy a days laneing. My mate who I go out with (who doesn't have a landy at the mo) lives in Ashby. I'm busy the next few weekend but will probably be out again in a month or so.

Nope doesn't sound right. Your measuring it at the battery, so you can rule out any wiring between it and the alternator as it did rise to over 13v at one point. Are you sure the alternator belt isn't slipping? Failing that the problem lies with the alternator. You may get away with new...
