    Great thanks. My Mustang finishes on Ebay tonight and if it sells I will actively start going to see some.

    Wanted- Defender 90 300TDi or TD5 £15k budget

    I'm just going on what a couple of Land Rover "Specialists" have recommended but I'm open to suggestions within my budget. Must be a 90, have rear windows and seats.

    Hello mate, thanks for your message. It's probably older than I was aiming for (I've got to keep the wife happy too this time) but can you send me some recent pics please? How does being converted from a van affect the insurance? Regards, Darren

    Wanted- Defender 90 300TDi or TD5 £15k budget

    Hi all, I'm looking for a Defender 90 with rear seats, ideally a soft top but not essential. This will be our daily runaround, so needs to be mechanically sound. I've been told to go for an 05/06 TD5 but I'm keeping an open mind. Budget is around £15k. I'm currently in the West Midlands but...

    Back again after 15 years

    Morning all, after selling my MR2 to buy a Landy 15 or so years ago, I'm now selling my Mustang GT to buy another Landy. We are moving to Norfolk and as much as I love the Mustang, I won't be able to keep it nice as we are moving to a village surrounded by narrow lanes. So, I'm on the look out...

    Northumberland to West Mids next week anyone?

    Hi all, is anyone coming from Northumberland to West Midlands next week? I have bought a small Woodchipper and need to get it home. I'm going to book a courier, but thought I'd ask on here first. It needs to go in the back of a van, it can't be towed. I can find out dimensions if need be but I...

    Slow to turn over when cold, but not the battery!?

    Thanks for the advice but did somebody get out of bed the wrong side this morning? : )

    Slow to turn over when cold, but not the battery!?

    That's a very interesting post. I will check if new seals were fitted when I had my head skimmed a couple of years ago. To answer your question. No, I didn't really solve it completely but I did improve it. I went on to start this thread...

    Weird lighting - 1987 90

    Probably a bad earth somewhere.

    Cold diesel solution?

    -10 and car won't start again. Would fitting this somewhere help? Trace Heating Frost Protection - Stop pipes freezing on eBay (end time 21-Dec-10 12:07:35 GMT) I wondered if I could wrap it around the fuel filter and plug into the mains 1st thing on a mega cold morning? Daz

    Cold start, glow plugs and lost volts

    Well, I left the battery on charge overnight Wednesday and Thursday morning I gave it 3x30 seconds glow and it started quite quickly. Outside temp was -6. It started this morning with just 1x30 seconds glow but temp was +4 (ish). I still don't think I've cured the problem but I must have...

    Cold start, glow plugs and lost volts

    I did this with the old (10 months old, but cheap) Glow Plugs and replaced a suspect one. However, last time I called out the RAC he said he still thought it was the glow plugs so I put a new set in. I used to hold the accelerator half way down (as shown by previous owner) but have kept my...

    Cold start, glow plugs and lost volts

    Following on from this thread http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/slow-turn-over-when-cold-but-not-battery-123336.html I'm still having cold starting problems but have come to the conclusion that it cranking as fast as any other car in -10 degrees. It's just not firing quick enough. FACTS...

    Yes mate, I do/have done all that. Frustrating isn't it!

    Slow to turn over when cold, but not the battery!?

    Started Sunday and Monday :) Didn't start this morning :confused: It's definately turning over better since stripping and cleaning the starter, but when cold, it just doesn't fire quick enough and I end up running the battery down. Once started, if I let it run for 5 minutes and turn it...

    Slow to turn over when cold, but not the battery!?

    Following on from the above, it did start the next morning and I really thought I'd fixed it :) ...UNTIL a couple of days later and it wouldn't start again :( Called out RAC again, he put his jump leads on and it turned over much faster but was still hesitant to start but did in the end. RAC...

    Best RAC (or other breakdown cover) price?

    Cheers Rob, I wish I had known about this a few days ago. I've just renewed my wife's car insurance and bought my daughter a netbook - both online :doh: It looks like I may save some ££ via the AA though. Thanks. Daz

    Best RAC (or other breakdown cover) price?

    I did consider this, but as I was already a member, I'm sure they added it to their system.:(

    Best RAC (or other breakdown cover) price?

    Had my RAC renewal through recently and have decided to change my cover due to my wife getting cover via her Bank account. Went for Personal cover with "At home" and "Recovery" and got quoted £110.55. Told the lady that online, new members get it for £82.07 and she matched the price. So all...
