On my Landy, I had the same problem. I was getting high resistance in the connectors for the bulbs. The connectors the wires went into were all coroded. Obviously I assume that you have checked the fuses. To check the resistance just use an ammeter on the wires to the chassis. Rich

Hey Guys, Just wondering how all your chassis's are doing? Mine is in a bit of a sorry state, well a serious state. I have almost finished pretty much making a chassis (major patching and and new plating). Wanted to get an idea of how all your chassis's are so I have a rough idea of how...

Hey Banzia, Sorry I havent got round to showing you more photos of my Landy. I know that Dunsfold have lots of Forces paint in stock. Rich

Hi, Here is a modification for my Defender. My old man gave me an old ammunition case, the type that hold two large rounds for tanks. It fits exactly to the width of the load area in the rear with space to open it fully and get down the sides. I plan to clean it up and respray it, then...

Hi Shrek, I always wanted a Defender 90, so I sold my BMW for an old 84 Land Rover 90. I wouldn't change back. I do however wish I could go faster but other than that I love it. If you are not planning to do any major work, you should inspect any vehicle fully. I would check the...

Banzia, My paint code is apparently CRE 134 (Landrover Green) according to jenolite Re-Paint. Rich

Hey Banzia, Cheers, I wired my Lights Separatley to the headlights, using heavy wire and a fused conection. I also have another battery running in parallel for all the modifications that I hope to add. Whether my alternator will be able to keep up is another question. As for the paint I...

Hi folks, I bought an Light Bar for my Defender a few months ago, only wired it at the weekend. I have mine wired separatley. I drilled into the roof, and came in via rubber grommets to ensure that it was water tight. My Defender 90 2.5 NA with new light bar. Rich

Its a bit like adding petrol or ethanol to diesel to thin it out. They do this in areas with very cold temperatures where diesel congeals.

Hi Buckle/Eddy, Sorry hadn't checked the forum for a while. I stopped using the veg oil. However I am now at a stage of considering the purcase of a two tank heated system, running a 50/50 mix in the veg oil tank. I am also trying to find any information on modifying the Lucas CAV pump, to...

A word of warning to all. I have further researched the effects that Vegetable oil can have on a Land Rover. I have found that the only problem with running veggie oil through my Defender is the Lucas CAV pump. If you have any Lucas CAV pump on your Land Rover you are unable to use...

Hi Eddy and all Landy Lovers, All seems to be going well, still running smoothly, bit more of a smell. However the smell seems rather familiar, almost as if someone else I know has been using it. I have had a few personal concerns that I am trying to research. Those being deposits that...

Hi Buckle, It has now been 24 hrs since i did a 50/50 mix and all is going well. I have not seen any change in performance, and can't really notice any smell. So from my view all is going well. However I will give you an update in few days to confirm how its going. Rich

I can understand your point Charlotte, howerever if you were to find a free source of oil, that would surely make a big difference to the savings.

Hi folks, I have been reading this thread for a while with great interest, and finally took the plunge. Today at 4pm I put 21 litres of Pure Vegetable Oil (Rapeseed Oil) into my fuel tank, on about a 50%/50% mix. All seems to be running rather well, you can however notice a small smell when...

Hi John, The price is the only thing currently holding me back too. Rich

Cheers all for the replies. It seems that the general verdict is to get one, as for the noise reduction, more mpg, and less wear on the engine. Will look into getting one then, and let you know when I do. Cheers Rich

Has anyone fitted one of these to their Landy?

Hi all, I am new to the forum, and have recently purchased a Defender 90 2.5 d N/A that needs a lot of TLC. Chassis needs rewelding, and major repairs and hell of a lot of work. I am wondering what a GKN overdrive unit would do for a 2.5 n/a? Would it allow me to at least go above 70 on a...
