Right Guys, thanks for your input, and christ what input (and box). It looks like i will go for some super universal tractor oil 15W/40. Once again thanks.

Right Guys, Due to change my engine oil, the question is what brand of oil, i know its 15W/40, can i go into Halfords and buy the halford oil from their data sheets information packs. I just want a good brand name that has been tried and tested by you guys out there, that will look after my...

Nothing wrong with us Pongo's, keep the homefires burning....... Its looks like a big fat batteryfor me, reminds me of some mateloys i know........:)

Thanks for that, did'nt want to fry anything. :)

What is the max size battery i can put in my landy, its a defender 300tdi 1998 model. Can i just put in the battery with the most amps. The weather is now starting to turn cold, at the moment i have a 85amp battery fitted, that is near the end of its life. Its bad when you have to connect to...

Cheers guys :)

How does britpart spares and other sites,compare to the landrover dealerships, is there much difference in the quality of the parts they sell, or is it just the dealerships using scare tactics. Our local landy dealer has on display a pair of brake pads/disc's that have been destroyed, with the...

Cheers Bud, great help. :) PS, you can call me flower anytime, just don't tell the wife............ :)

:) The only beef i have with my defender is the indicator light flasher on the panel, as a matter of fact, all of the lights on the panel. They are very dim. I have been unaware that the indicator has not re-set itself, after turning a corner or on overtaking. On most vehicles, the indicator...

The good thing about the 300tdi is that its a basic engine, yep it not the fastest landy in the world. My boss has a TD5, and it does shift, we get about the same MPG, i maybe get abit more. He's had a few problems with the engine management system, so it has to go to the garage to get...

I had the same problem at my local Tesco garage, i get less the the gallon and the engine sounds lumpy. Now fill up at the shell garage and get better performance and more to the gallon. Its all down to the additives or lack off.

Yea, the ducks are still around, the police are the duck shooters now around there. Gets very interesting sometimes:eek: Duck, Bang

Yep, Army, its always good to be on hand to point the Navy in the right direction. They always tend to go aground a few times in they lifes. Seriously, good bunch to work for, family atmosphere and we have a good laugh. Quality of life, thats what its about nowadays, hence the Landy.;)

Tim I work in a place called Boating World, its about 2.5miles from a place called Landrake which is just off the A38. Its alongside the River Lyhner, big boatyard, deal mainly in boat storage, engine and boat repair. Its owned by 2 ex-navy guys, one of which is a big Landrover nut, he's got...

OK Guys Question, what is the better engine to have in a Landy and why. I personnelly would go with the Tdi 300. Its the last of the basic engines, before the black box was installed, that puts the dealerships back on the high ground charging a arm and a leg. Sure its got some good points...

Cheers Marcus I will check that website out, keep spanking mate..............:)

Thanks for that Jim

Sorry about that, its a 1998 300tdi defender engine;)

I know that the manual gives you the type of oil to use, but, what is the best brand of oil, the stuff they sell in the dealership or other brands. This is my first landy and i want to make sure i get it right for my first service. The next thing is what oil changes do i need to do on the...
