    What have you done to your Landie today.

    I think my engine has a problem. Checked the oil and water today, first time in 3250 miles. Oil level was still at the top and it didn't need any water ..what do you think is wrong?

    Magnetic fuel saver

    I use all the above, and the same nice man sold me a "spitfire" thingy to go on the lead from the coil to the dizzy to increase the power of the spark. I told him I had a 2.5 td and he said it would do the same if I used a cable tie and fastened it to my air filter so I am miles ahead of you lot.

    How much does it cost to fill up your landy?

    In reply to redhand - cheers on the propshaft, I guess I will give that a miss, but my 1989 90 has done over 2000 miles on the old cooking fat. Only blocked the filter when I first put it in, since then no probs.

    hi everyone

    Every man to his own, being in the landy community means that if you have a freelander, the headgasket will go, but a nice chap in a defender will probably tow you home

    What's the best penetrating oil..?

    I am with SEAN, go for the grinder - job always looks like its been done right with shiny new bolts/nuts - and use copperslip for next time then you will be able to use the spanners to get it off.

    How much does it cost to fill up your landy?

    get an older landy (pre TDi) and do some evening work in a local chippy that uses vegatable oil instead of fat. Negotiate including waste oil in your pay, leave in a plastic container for 4 days (the wax will settle) then strain the rest through muslin cloth and mix with diesel(I use 60% oil -...
