    New Landrover Owner!

    I made the same mistake too. Tightening wheelnuts on the OSF wheel. wheel turned forwards, car rolled backwards off the bottle jack. serves me right for using a b***ard bar with a wheel in the air. fortunately for me the wheel was on well enough so just torqued it up. never had that problem...

    300TDI ...Cruise Control pipework

    My Cruise has never worked. After a quick inspection of the engine bay, there's a few pipes 'cut' Has anyone got a clear map of where the pipework SHOULD go? Or would anyone in the exmouth/east devon area like to take a look, shake their head and run away laughing?

    Speedo and Tacho intermittent.

    Hi all, on my 97 300tdi, my tacho (or 'revcounter' to some) keeps dropping to zero while driving. and then the other day, the speedo decided to read double it's correct value for a few miles ...then dropped to zero. leaving it 'til next day they were fine again. most of the time they work fine...
