As it's all square it's fairly easy to fab up yourself, not aware of anybody that sell them.

Thanks, it's the bit I've been looking forward to the most. It's been at the back of my mind throughout and if I ever thought of anything I would write it down, so I didn't forget. The Haynes manual has been a bit of a help but there are so many mistakes. I laid out my old loom on the table...

Is it the turbo whistling? You may not hear it in higher gears due to wind noise.

Does this white gas linger or dissipate quickly? Had an Astra with a hg issue and it ended up popping the rad taking the repair bill up another £80.

Nice to hear a happy (and free) ending :)

Edited for potential outcome:p

Can't help much on where would be best to earth but interested in your proposed setup - would you care to sketch a quick plan of how you're going to wire it up, so I can potentially steal the idea?:cool:

I reckon it's a cute little thing you've stumbled upon, and that is likely to be its date of manufacture. My galv trailer looks just the same now as it did over 10 years ago when it came to us, besides some of the paint coming off (it was painted at some point to make it look less bling and...

That's kind of you but it really was more in the interest of saving them, and I don't know when I'll next be down your way:) All my work at the minute seems to be at home, it's our quiet period:eek:

Well, yeah, but, I don't actually even care anyway cus I ain't got a d3 and if it's too much snow for the car I'll just get me pushbike out:D When I referred to our cousins down under I meant just their cars in general, probably some sort of ford saloon, not a landy. Tyne tunnel had d3's.

I'd have then just to save them going to the tip! Not in your area anytime soon though.

What about winch attachment, snatch recovery and the d3 ability to tow serious weight? There's one around here somewhere with a towbar sticking out the front which I was looking at in a disabled bay at IKEA, guessing it's to push the owners caravan into position. I hope it's only one of them...

What became of @min200? Not seen any of his posts for a while.

Or capital letters:p

Nooooooo! I like correcting people on mine. It usually goes a bit like- 'ave ya finished that Defender yet?' And I reply 'it's actually a Land Rover 110, and not quite' or 'I see that defenders still making your your garden look a mess' and I say, 'somebodies parked a defender on my garden?' or...

Not 100% sure but on td5 is it not just an inline thing in front of the auxiliary belt?

It's sure to be stat related. It will be stuck open allowing full circulation of coolant through the rad. The engine will never get to operating temperature and thus use more fuel. You won't get much heat out of the heaters.

Well looked after then.....

This is good news for us that own them, as it will take away the hype that's been created since production end was imminent a few years ago, and hopefully it will make them and their parts less desirable to theives now. Bad news for anybody who bought one as an 'investment' though:p

I'll rely on your superior knowledge on this occasion then, every car I've ever had has had a few empty fuse slots including my d1 so thought a d2 would be no different. Every days a school day though I suppose:)
