Apologies for late reply; I don't have as much time to spend on here as most of you. I have successfully hired from a reputable company and will no longer require assistance. Please feel free to continue to enjoy yourselves with this thread.

Well I was rather hoping you might suggest the fee. What is your car?

Thank you all for you're enthralling responses as ever. It's hardly an unusual ask considering companies make a living from 4x4 rental. Alas Aberdeen is rather a long way I fear and cost/mile would make the day rather expensive. I unfortuantely don't have any cheap semi-autos knocking...

To all of landyzone I have recently sold my land rover and am shooting on saturday where there will be a shortage of off road vehicles. Is anyone willing to hire me a vehicle for the day? I am based near Nottingham and the shoot is near Market Harborough. Driving round the shoot is not...

Thank you. I have just had a call from the dealer who has managed to track them down, and a set of locking wheel nuts to fit. If anybody else has the same problem then Tim Fry of Cheltenham is the palce that sorted it for me.

On Saturday some arrogant idiot stole 4 bolts from my front passenger wheel. They are 18" boost alloys with a 27mm diameter bolt. The length of the bolt from the part that sits flush with the alloy is ~33mm. However these are not standard bolts as they are much longer and are apparently...

The issue has now been solved!!! The dealer who has been fantiactic throughout (MG Landrovers, Ashbourne, Derbyshire). Took it back off my hands and checked everything that has been suggested. There were no mechanical faults with the car but it was found the the wrong temperature sender...

HI Thank you all for you useful responses. It was clear that the coolant tank was leaking so that has now been changed. No more leaks however the temperature gauge still went up right into the red after 20mins on the motorway. It was clear that the liquid in the coolant tank was not boiling...

Well thank you for all you enthralling responses. I was however hoping for something a little more intellectual... Perhaps 1- will it affect the waxoyling? 2- will adding more water cause potential for more damage and the early onset of corrosion? Just a couple...

what is the best way to care for my landy after taking it off road and getting the underneath all muddy? should i spray it all off from underneath?

thanks very much. fortunately the dealer is very good and i have spoken to him today but just wanted some other opinions too. He reckons the seal around the coolant tank is broken and hence not cooling the water properly. and hence the leaking on the wheel arch. he has ordered a new part...

Hi I have recently bought my first landrover. A defender 90 300tdi (1996). I was taking it on its first motorway journey the other day of 110miles. I had decided not to go above 60mph. After 15mins of driving on the motorway the temperature gauge began to rise from the middle and quickly...

thanks very much for all your helpful responses. how do i check how many wires are attached (i'm no mechanic!!) i can see on the dash where all the lights are that there is a little fuel pump light.

Hi I have just bought a 90, 300tdi yr. 1996. does anyone know what the fuel tank size is? the fuel gauge seems a bit dodgy and although i was in the red recently the fuel light didn't come on. is there anyway (other than running out) to see if the fuel light works? when i thought i really...
