    white smoke when slowing down--300tdi

    Flush inter cooler with petrol, remove from car first though... BUT LEAVE TO BREATH FOR AT LEAST 30 MINS AFTER OR THE ENGINE WILL REV IT'S NUTS OFF. Sorry for caps but that is soooo important

    Oil offer at Retailer which to pick if any ?

    There is a shell website where you put ya number plate in a box, and it then lists all the oils , grease and antifreeze that is recommended for your vehicle, you can then print the list off and go but it elsewhere.. I do like a helpful oil company lol

    New Series owner - lighting issue

    Sounds like a dirty connector in the lamp holder .. Either spray with switch or contact cleaner (available from neweys) or turn lights off and scrape contact with a screw driver Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

    How much can a Disco pull?

    Years ago when I worked on farms in Kent there was a farmer who used a dihatsu 4track to pull a single furrow run around plough, he said his tractor broke down and his car pulled the plough just fine lol a disco does have a towing limit of 3500kgs, really wouldn't want to be working it hard...

    Insuring my 17 year old lad. Yup, I have searched!

    My lad age 19 just insured his Suzuki sj410 for £1300.00 with admiral.. Third party fire and theft, declared mods , bull bar and alloys with big tyres, 5000 miles per year.. Not bad considering...

    dodgy rr classic

    Looks very similar to my November 95, But mine don't have the coolant level warning light, and air intake is different. Seats look different, but in that shade of brown , must be an acquired taste that lol

    Classic dash lamps and abs :-(

    Hi peeps, I'm having some issues with the abs on my classic, It's got new brake disks, and pads all round, cv joints, radius arm and roll bar bushes, hub seals, the list goes on, even another engine, Now the abs is playing up, and when braking it pulls to the left bad, the abs pump works...

    Are 265/75 tyres too big for my Classic?

    I have 235/70/16 on my 1995 classic and they just clear the body, any bigger you would have to trim the panels and adjust the steering stops..

    300 Tdi - Faulty Engine Temperature Sensor?

    Yep I can vouch for that , the head gasket went in my 300tdi, temp gauge read normal till engine cut out, then it near bent the needle at the top of red, so expensive repair bill...

    raise towball

    According to the regs / law you are not supposed to raise a tow bar, only lower it. So be careful, if ya get a misserable copper he might take exception to it.

    Just watched some one key my landy!!

    One of the new company vans I had a fees years ago had a sticker on the dash saying... Do not use abrasives to clean the exterior paint work for at least 4 weeks, I asked my manager if it was ok to use a sandblaster to clean it after that...
