    OS maps on a satnav???

    Just thought I'd ask in here rather than create a new thread as it's kinda Semi-related, what would be the best map for the machynlleth (B@stard lane)? going camping by Llanbedr this weekend to Wednesday get in touch if you're out in the area this weekend! :) Edit: Either OS124 or OS135? I'm...

    Where to install TD5 Oil temperature sensor for gauge?

    Lightning is spot on here, I would put it in the sump as far away from the block as possible to stop the heat from the block making a impact on temp reading, the oil pickup is maybe half inch off bottom of sump so when up to temperature that would provide a consistent oil temp reading.

    just seen on ebay someone selling one for 150. I don't think there is much i can do with the existing as the entire passenger side is not far off non existent thanks for links these are pretty handy

    Disco 2 LED light bars

    I would literally plug it in and got with the flow, 400w is not a lot of power, I have mine piggy backed off of my high beams and have never had an issue with it. just check the fog lights fuse and compare to the amps of the fuse that came with the light bar?

    Anything decent near Stalybridge?

    I have a handful of lanes from the peak district but they're all South East, has anyone any knowledge near Stalybridge? I'm going tomorrow for a day in the Archery club, wouldn't mind some small lanes near by to round off the day before I come home? And no I don't have an OS map for the area...

    Disco 2 LED light bars

    I've wired mine into the main headlights, so when I go on high beam it turns my LED bar on too, wouldn't be a bad idea to put them on the fogs though if you haven't got them in. Wiring is simple, just look up a schematic of 4 way relay diagram and go from there.

    Disco ideally modded

    I have a set of mud pluggers on D1 steels, but they aren't anything I'd keep on, only when off roading as they are a thinner tyre

    Disco ideally modded

    What's your budget? I have a 2001 Disco 2 TD5 Manual with 2" lift kit, sitting on a set of near new Hankook Dynopro M/T snork, 52" LED bar Winch Bumper with 13500lb winch (Rope) upgraded rear metal bumper, CB radio. And a fresh headlining in it which is near on perfect.

    300tdi engine rebuild crank locking SOLID

    The only thing I found was a little bit of carbon build up I had missed out but that's how it was when it was running maybe rings causing an issue and didn't see it when it was in, other than that I'm completely baffled

    300tdi engine rebuild crank locking SOLID

    Caps, Shells and rods all have markings to ensure they go on the right way yeah the only thing I can think of is that some shells have been swapped by mistake with a wrong piston as the shells are not numbered like the caps and rods. the Nipple was pointing in the direction the Haynes had said...
