    Nifty way to fill gearbox with nice clean ATF.

    This is what I used. Just put some clear pipe on the pump and away you go. You can buy the pump for £3 than i used a car shampoo container.

    Tips on buying a TD5

    Looking at buying either a 300tdi or a td5. What do i need to be checking engine and transmission wise on the td5. The landy I'm going to see first is a 1999 on 112,000. Is there anything that should have been done at this age / miles

    Yet another Hazard Question

    Well after a couple of hours searching I found the fault to be the permanent supply to the switch from the fuse board. When I checked at the switch with a meter the power was there but under a load it wasnt. After replacing the wire the hazards are working fine. :)

( if that makes any...

    No vent wings

    I was thinking of fitting one to the offside and using the top wing vent then route a hose round the rear of the engine to the airbox. But like what you have done Richard its a really neat job. You got me thinking now.

    No vent wings

    Richard is that hose connected straight to the intake or does it go through a airbox first. Are the mushrooms a filter or just a capping on the pipework.

    Power steering leak & Snorkle fitment

    I have replaced the dowty washers on the pipe connected to the rear of the power steering pump but carnt get them to seal. Are these the correct washers to fit or shoud they be copper washers.
