    Which tyres

    I use Insa Turbo Rangers. 70%/30% ratio to road/mud use. And being remolds they are dirt cheap. Bought 5 new ones on steel rims for £500 delivered... Yes they are remolds but as we won't really get up to 100MPH they are not a problem. I use these green laning and off roading and never had...

    330tdi into a 2.5TD chassis. HELP!!!!!

    Cheers for the tyre advice, I thought they would but it is always best to ask, eh... And all of my Landy mates have the 200TDI engine which is different I believe for most of the hoses and pipes etc... But I will measure. I was just being lazy and hoping someone out there has the...

    330tdi into a 2.5TD chassis. HELP!!!!!

    Yes we did have to change the right hand chassis mount (from the driver's point of view). Grind off the existing mount, and make a new one with a horizontal top plate. The engine mount on the left hand side can be taken off the 2.5TD and bolted onto the 300TDI block. Use the two crew holes...

    Aftermarket Rear Door Glass De-Mister

    I can't seem to find this on here, so I will ask... The rear door for my 110 CSW has no rear demister/defogger in it. I have tried looking online for an aftermarket pack that I can stick on and wire in, but I have only been able to find one example of this, and that was from Australia :( ...

    Loss of dipped beam.

    I have the same problem with my little beast. I have been told it cold be a loose wire on the ignition barrel. Take the steering wheel off, then the instrument panel and examine the barrel. If there is a loose wire, solder it back on and 'hey presto' it should work again.

    Chassic welding

    If you are near Colchester I can highly recommend Levois, the Suzuki dealership for welding. There is a chap there (Paul) who is blinding with a MIG, literally and metaphorically... Best thing is ask some of the guys who live near you if they can recommend someone close, as word of mouth is...
