    techron diesel what do you think?

    Texaco are selling this down the road from me so I put thirty quid in. Could be in my mind but I thought in my 12j 110 n/a diesel I was going bit faster and not chucking out so much crap on acceleration or up hills. Miles per gallon seemed the same though its 10p a litre more expensive. Managed...

    buying advice

    if you can afford to consider ten grand you,re laughing. Ask yourself what do you want it for? Every day use, occasional light use, all rounder i,e, school runs a bit of off roading and back and for to work. Or a specific overland type vehicle for adventures. Are you thinking "newish" means...

    gear tunnel for Lt777

    I think I once saw plastic gear tunnels for an Ltzz box at an auto jumble. Cant find anything in a google search. Are there such things and where can I get one for a long wheel base 110 2.5 n/a diesel? Or do I just get a metal one? Mines in a right state.:confused:

    newish rear tub or body shop?

    Oh Hell I am going to go with the body shop because if she pays them she will know its a straight deal and wont feel ripped off, or feel there has been the potential to be ripped. And if she gets a bill from a different garage for what looks like unrelated work what is she going to think?

    newish rear tub or body shop?

    Well 110 woman it was the latter, wanting to feel I have treated her fairly. Taken a day off work to avoid hire car costs. If Iwas to attempt to fit it myself the 190.00 would cover further time off work.

    newish rear tub or body shop?

    oh, she was hot allright and young enough to be my daughter, my wife took all her details for the claim. Interesting point about what the garage would charge. The 230.00 charge as is is for what they reckon will be about three hours work , but thats body shop price garage may be cheaper.

    newish rear tub or body shop?

    my old landy had a dent in the rear drivers side panel when I bought it. Right below the filler cap, you could see the back of the wheel. I banged it out made it look presentable and waited for some future opportunity to fix it, that was three years ago. Now a young girl has reversed into it and...

    Smoke reduction?

    With the starting I assume you know about turning the ignition halfway and waiting a good thirty seconds (on the springy bit) before turning her over. This heats the glow plugs. Twelve months before I learned that bit. Also make sure your injectors are properly seated so no air gets in around...

    Smoke reduction?

    I have suffered the appalling embarrassment of this and have a few tips that do help. I drive 2.5 n/a diesel 175,775 miles on the clock. First less heavy on the accelerator when pulling away, get used to the fact it is embarrasingly slow in pull off. Turn down the diesel from the pump to the...

    tweaking the pump

    Face the engine . Fuel pump on left. Between engine and pump is a gap. Screw is on the back of the pump in that gap. What I did was screw it right in and then out three turns. Try it and see, BUT BEWARE engine needs diesel to lubricate bores so don,t run it too lean. Good luck.
