it would be interesting to see if it affects the mpg even though the compressor isn't running it will still have some drag on the pulleys so with it off completely it may improve slightly ?

I've heard of a tip about wiring a PP3 9v battery up so when you disconnect the main battery when you reconnect it it keeps the radio code . . how true it is I don't know

very true ! and I'm not saying this as an excuse but if a driver of a standard disco on standard size tyres drives a lane where another user or two has been through with large/aggressive tyres and left larger ruts that would beach his standard car, he may decide rather than drive through the...

just because I quoted you didn't mean I was singling you out individually and I'm sorry if you thought it was an attack on you and your choice of tyres I was being very general

Ah I seemed to have overlooked the golden rule of forum etiquette. . . you have a higher post count so you quite clearly know more about any given subject than any body with a lower post count.. Ok seeing as you can only understand if small words are used and take things literally and don't...

NO not only Mud tyres make ruts any tyre will make a nice big rut if you sit there spinning them up, the point I was making(the one you thought was bollocks) is that if every one starts using bigger and bigger and more and more aggressive tyres then where does it stop ? admittedly not all of the...

Also bear in mind that soon plug in boxes will become an instant MOT fail

the fuel that goes to supermarkets is exactly the same as that which goes to premium filling stations. Do you see any Sainsbury's or tesco oil platforms ??? or an Asda refinery ??The ONLY difference is how it's stored at the pumps. there is a brand new Sainsbury's station near to me and I've...

use a de-greaser like gunk and an old paint brush then nothing with any more pressure than a hose pipe, steam cleaners and landrover engines don't mix very well

And that is where the Biggest problem with green laning starts and why they are getting closed left right and centre. They start off ok then some one comes along with mud tyres and makes ruts, then the next person comes along with bigger mud tyres and makes bigger ruts then some one comes along...

The thing to remember is that the engine in a Landrover isn't the pinnacle of diesel technology so fuels will make less of a difference than they would in a newer/sportier car. I have a Disco 300tdi and it doesn't really matter what diesel i put in it the only time I can really tell the...

Best way I know of unless you have a rolling road

so 18 is about average lol

been offered a really nice 4.4 Vouge black with cream leather 120k miles and it's had the same owner since 2004. just wondered what sort of mpg these things return ?? Cheers

Ideally you want your roof spot on a separate switch to the rest of your lights, that way you can turn your lights off if you go wading and still be able to see where you are going.

take the cap off and look inside towards the back, there should be an X sticking up from the bottom of the tank. The top of that is the level

do they go off after a little while ? because they have a timer on for a few seconds after you have shut the door. or stay on unless you turn them off with the switch ? if so you may have a broken door contact switch

painting it yellow and sticking "camel" stickers all over it. ONE LIFE LIVE IT stickers any form of tyre tread pattern stickers

The switch could be to kill the fan if you were to go wading in deep water? might be worth getting a multimeter out and have a look over it just to see if your getting a feed to the temp controller ?

and don't forget you will always have some air in the system because the header tank isn't the highest part of the system. fill the expansion tank to the mark. fill the rad till it's full. fill the thermostat housing till full. that's it a doddle but under natural pressure from the air around it...
