So, update, Had the drop links, ARB bushes, and lower arms + bushes changed. Will it need the tracking done? Thanks to all who contributed. Cheers, M.

Thanks Nodge. While I’m at it I think I’ll do the ARB and replace the lower arms and relevant bushes. It’s gotta get us up the west coast of Scotland in April. It’ll be the longest trip I’ve done in it. Cheers, M.

Update: Andy you were correct, the OS drop link top bush is the culprit. Given that I’ve only done 3.5k miles since purchasing in October 21 would the heavy duty DL’s be worth the extra? Regards, Michael.

Thanks Andy.

Hi All, Over the last couple of months I’ve noticed a knocking noise from ( I think) the NSF area. It sounds like a bush or bushes as it makes its presence known when going over holes/ manhole covers etc. I’m having the diff oil changed next week so while it’s up in the air I’m going have a good...

Cheers Kevm.

:) No problem Col.

What about putting the clamp on round one of the glow plug cables individually? Regarding the weather, mine is back to starting as normal so I’m thinking it was just the cold. Going to check the plug’s resistance though. Cheers, M.

Nodge, Can I put 225/60’s on my present rims that have 225/55’s on? Since the Geolandars aren’t available in 225/55/17. Cheers, M.

I’ve got a decent amount of tread left, at the moment. The post was part we’re going to the Scottish Highlands in April and I just like the look of chunkier tyres! They do look ok though. Cheers, Michael.

Cheers Malcolm, I’ll check them out too.

Thanks Kevm and STV.

Thanks Nodge, I did consider making a shunt resistors to use with my meters. They’re good for 10A so I could give them a try. It’ll just show O/L if it’s higher than 10. But by the time you’ve bought wire thick enough and spent time calibrating it all, I think I’d rather buy one of the Auto...

Thanks again Andy.

Thanks Stv, That makes more sense. I’ll see if I can get a value of them.

Hi All, With the recent cold weather, starting from cold has taken a bit longer than normal. About 4-5 scenes of cranking. It’s never not started and starts perfectly on subsequent starts. After reading various freds on trouble starting from cold I wondered if the glow plugs cold be an issue or...

Update: Fluids replaced - Engine oil, gearbox, IRD. Diff to be done when temperature outside goes up! Filters replaced - oil, air, PCV, turbo boost solenoid, fuel. EGR cleaned. Associated pipe work/hoses to be done when weather warms up. Bit lumpy on tickover today…..:oops: Thanks to all for...

Thanks Nodge.

Apologies for the tyre noob question. My FL has 225/55/17’s, as I haven’t found Geolander in that size, I’m assuming they don’t do it. So I can’t get a like for like swap. Can I put 225/60/17’s on the same rims? According to the website I posted a link to above 60’s are a 7 inch rim, the 55’s...
