If he keeps his MOT license, Can't you just Paypal him the money and he can post you the sticker??? 🤔

All the info online, is vague, at best. Much is somewhat contradictory, too Also, IGNORE the Google AI overview - it's wrong (I wish I could disable it permanently, instead of putting a profanity in every search). It's wrong most of the time, on most of my searches.

You can't use the temperature gauge for anything useful. For one thing - they ONLY works if the engine is full of coolant - once the sensor isn't IN coolant, it move change anyway... That goes for all cars. You might also need a better mechanic - it's not usually very complicated on these to...

It was a Jap Import ;)

GO FOR IT!!! :cool: I know that car... from 100 years ago 🤣 But there aren't many that I haven't seen - there was 36? in NZ when I had mine, I think. (It used ot have the plate "DECAF" I'm wracking by brain to think of the last owner though - I think it was Graeme in Auckland... which would...

It's probably because your engine RPM is too high 🤔

I can't tell if this is a regular who made a new account to create some fun; or a complete mong.

Should we set up some kind of roster, taking advantage of international membership, to ensure we manage the ignoring 24/7??? @GrumpyGel already took one for the NZ team; while you lot were swanning around in clapped out old Land Rovers, instead of putting the required effort in!

P0016, P0019: Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation (likely Bank 1 and Bank 2) That's generally a pointer to the timing chain skipped. Its especially common on those early ones. I'd be vaery waring of running it... one more "inicident" and the repair bill could double...

I can't tell if you're talking about the Chinese version or JLR's new vehicles... ;) I'm VERY wary of the long term life of new Chinese cars... but no more wary than anything new from JLR, anyway.

Disco 2's have traction control... The centre diff in the LT230 likes to destroy itself if it spins too fast/long :( If my Disco 1 wasn't such a ****box, I'd get Ashcroft ATBs front, centre and rear: Then it'd be like a proper AWD on the road and good enough for the offroading I do. My VW...

It'll be one very, very black line, with an LT230 🤣 All the power turns to smoke at the inside front wheel when accelerating on corners :( My Disco wears the front left twice as fast as all the other tyres, from lighting up when trying to pull out of side roads. 3 open diffs feeds all the power...

It could end up being the longest running thread on the site...

Is Bank 2 at +25%? Check for an exhaust leak on that side - it'll let air in, causing the ECU to see it as a lean condition, and crank up the fuelling. Remember it's using the level of O2 in the exhaust to determine if it's fuelling enough. Even a small leak will pull in air between exhaust...
