well thats all new diesel cars sorted but what about the old ones like our landy's can they be modified retro fitted with such tech?

with a bit of luck some one will develop an additive or a device that will reduce the amount of bad diesel fumes to a level either the same or less than petrol cars, which will probably happen just about the same time they realise that petrol cars are just as bad as polluting as diesels are :p

Mine dont do it at all, but if it did I'd go for the easy option first check the exhaust as Marmaduke suggested

Nice easy repair, dont get many of them on a landy :p Glad its all sorted, now go buy the wee woman a bunch of flowers and the world will be a happy place again :D

I may be reading your fault description wrong but from what I understand I think the door latch has some how moved and although your door shuts its not shut properly enough for the lock to work. With the door open try working the handle by pushing on the door catch till its in the shut position...

I'm in the process of cancelling my ebay account which takes 60 days apparently to close, due to the way they handled a complaint or didint as the case maybe so I wont be buying from ebay for quite along time

Well for between £220 to £240 from YRM I can get a set of Galvanised body caps so think those will be the ones I go for if mine end up being well rotted, think its just surface rust at the moment, not sure till I sand the paint off

Welcome to the loonyzone but yer no as North as me Northman :p

Good advice but then I think that will mean the vehicle being off the road for a few days maybe a week so the cost of alternative transport plus the cost of blasting and galvanising might end up being as cheap to buy galvanised ones

goes without saying me thinks :D

Now that I know what the body capping are called I googled them and came across a you tube video on how to replace them, yup you can prop the tub up appears you dont need that much room. but to be honest I really dont think I'd like to try and do it. Gonna try and give them another sanding down...

OMG was not expecting to have to remove the roof and sides but if thats the way to do then so be it, thanks for the reply Flossie

whats the half round strip that runs about half way up a defender body from the front doors round to the back door called and how easy is it to replace. Mines rusty in places did try about 6 months ago to sand the rust off treat it and repaint but its starting to show again think its better to...

welcome

I like how a few of you on here compare the road noise of MT's compared with AT's yet the tyre labels say they are all 74db or there abouts there are a few that are exempt from tyre label so its hard to compare without actually road testing. My landy came fitted with MT's and I'd say most of the...

Ah well sorry I stuck with Mud Terrains so no idea if the All Terrains have different thread or not

Changed mind at last minute went for the Mud Terrain as I already have them fitted and never had any problems with them. No idea if they have new patterns or not yet, tyre getting fitted today will let you know later

I just googled Insa turbo tyres and all that comes up is either remold's or retreads on giga-tyres.co.uk or mytyres.co.uk web sites, only typed it in for a nose not buying as I've already ordered my tyres, just had another look on the 4x4 tyres.co.uk the ones on there aint remolds

was that the All Terrain or the Mud Terrain BFG's? the only Insa Turbo's I can find are remoulds, wont ever get remoulds just don't trust them

I went for BF Goodrich All Terrain 265/75 R16 I have the Mud Terrain ones at the moment so just stuck with the same brand. only getting two done at a time so be a while before I notice if they quieter than the Mud tyres.
