    Leaking Sunroof on 1988 110 County

    I smear some Vaseline on the rubber seal. Seems to stop it! When I went to Boots to get a big tub for this purpose I couldn't find it so I asked an assistant. She said "is it for lips or for baby?" I said sunroof. She just looked puzzled! Scrawf

    upgrade suspension.... WITH NO LIFT?

    I went for standard springs and TerraFirma shocks. Pretty happy with that combo. You have to remind yourself that the new springs will still probably lift the car a bit. Frankly though the best way to improve ground clearance is bigger wheels n tyres. Scrawf

    Upgrade door latches & locks?

    I did a search on this but was not able to find an answer so I wondered if any of you good people could help me with a quick question about locks and latches. Basically the drivers side door latch on my 300 TDi 1994 90 is now jiggered. It will lock but will it hellers like open again unless...

    curing rust solutions?

    I used 'Marine Clean', 'Perp & Ready' and them painted my chassis with POR15 and so far no more rust! Bit of a faff and quite expensive but seems to have done the trick , You can get it here: POR15 - Rust | Frost Auto Restoration Techniques Now all I need to do is Dinitrol the interior of the...

    Driving of other vehicles now NOT included!

    Our insurance renewal from Footman James came through today. Very reasonable at £185 but I noticed that Driving of Other Vehicles was now excluded from the policy. I gave them a call to see if we could include it at additional cost and the very uninterested call centre girl told me that...

    Rust, Rust, Rust and more Rust... Whats Your secret?

    POR15. Really good if you buy the Prep & Ready and spray that on first. Wash it off . Let it dray nd simply paint over. Scrawf

    Best Spring & Shock combo for the road

    Seriously don't waste your money on fancy stuff! Stick standard springs and shocks on it! Sounds a bit boring but that will probably be the best setup for the road! Ride will be comfortable and you will find that none of the issues associated with lifting the thing will apply. Although you...

    oil leak in my 300 TDi

    Have you check the oil return pipe above on top of the engine? Bet you it's perished. That's why it leaks when the engine is running. Only a few quid to get a new one and a ten minute job to replace it! Scrawf

    You fitted new suspension by any chance? 2" lift? Scrawf

    Apple Ipod - audio connecter

    I have done loads of research on this and you can't do what you want. Best you can do is play your music via the 3.5mm analogue jack. You can't control the iPod off the console. Don't even bother looking for a solution as there isn't one. I do use a 'blue trip' I sent for from the states...

    Tyre speed ratings?

    Seriously don't worry about it. Tyres only have to be fit for purpose. They won't be able to invalidate your insurance as long as they are. If the speed rating is above what the vehicle can reasonably achieve then they are. So all is good. This is a bit of an urban myth you realise. Scrawf

    Terrafirma Light Load

    Yeah that's right you increase the angle on the props which causes the UJ to run ellipticaly increasing wear and causing judder in the drive train. Apparently some Landys don't suffer from it but mine did. 42 mph and the drive train shook like a jelly causing vibrations right through the...

    Terrafirma Light Load

    Yes I fitted that exact kit on my 90. Problem is that the springs give a 50mm lift alright and that causes all sorts of issues with drive train judder and bushes. In addition the Landy wollowed in corners much more and the steering became vague even though I had it all aligned when it fitted...

    Lift kit

    Don't bother lifting it. You don't need to and you will only cause yourself a whole heap of other problems! Do a search! Scrawf
