    Wheeler Dealers

    I had to laugh when they did an MR2, Mike walked out of a scrap yard with an obviously brand new, freshly painted, clean on the inside, front wing claiming they had to get a second hand one so they didn't blow the budget. Still entertaining though.

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    No damage done, luckily I was only 1/2 a mile from home and the engine was still cold so managed to get it home without overheating (no power steering of course).

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    If the penny trick doesn't work try a new belt, mine was squeaking badly until it shredded itself, put a new Draco belt on and it's silent.

    Gov coming in too early

    The governor on a Bosch VE pump can be adjusted (sorry I read it some time ago and have no link for you), maybe it's been backed off to pass the smoke test at MOT time. Don't be tempted to remove the linkage and re-set it on the shaft, it'll mess everything up, I know, I did it and spent hours...

    6-Wheel Drive Discovery II - Am I totally mad ?

    The difference in turning circle will be greater than the geometry calculation shows, as front tyre scrub / slipage with the extra resistance of the twin rear axles will not have been accounted for. I used to shunt twin axle 40ft trailers about using on of the dockyard shunter units, it had a...

    Series 2 Confessions of a skin flint.

    It was meant as a complement to how good the speaker mount looks, just like the fog light in a D4 bumper http://s250.photobucket.com/user/mark405td/media/Land-Rover-Discovery-1_zps57aocwdr.jpg.html

    Series 2 Confessions of a skin flint.

    That dash is reminiscent of a late Disco front bumper, I like it.

    6-Wheel Drive Discovery II - Am I totally mad ?

    Your going to get tyre scrub on both the rear axles with the load distributed evenly between them, it will also ware the front tyres quicker as they will have to overcome the resistance to turn that's produced by the rear axles. Taking the load off the rear axle will reduce tyre ware across all...

    1995 300tdi What's it worth

    Hang on guys, before you put the bidding up to high, look at the picture again, it's a D2, false advertising that is.

    6-Wheel Drive Discovery II - Am I totally mad ?

    What a build ! Some really nice work there, with plenty of forethought. Just an idea for you, as you're competent with ECU's and will have airbags all round, how about making it so the rear axel can be lifted (or at least all the load on it removed) to improve what is going to be a very large...

    Veg oil conversion

    I said comprehensive, not complicated. I advanced my timing today, it's made a big difference, before you could feel it holding back, but tonight it was almost back to diesel power and responceivnes. Starts better and with a lot less smoke. well worth giving it a go, just be mindfull of diesel...

    Veg oil conversion

    Sounds quite comprehensive, far more so than I intend to do. I'm running a single tank, so far I've replaced all the fuel lines (bypassing the sedimenter), new Delfi lift pump and new tank sender unit, but this was trying to track down an air ingress issue, in the end it was the copper washer on...

    Veg oil conversion

    From your post I take it you run a heat exchanger, what other mods have you done ? I must admit I'm so used to the "just bung it in brigade" or the "veg oil will kill your car " whereas you seem to have done your homework and found a system that works for you.
