Yes Rob, I am the same. Sometimes for a laugh I'll read a few adverts on Ebay and the quality of communication, phrasing, grammar and spelling are just priceless.
Some peeps come onto the forums asking for help and on occasion I just can't understand what they are saying/asking.
Hey-ho, at least you and me are OK
Dave

what the car is doing, as we live in the lake district we have hills!!
to get out of our village is a hill called lindale hill!! quiet steep, 300 yrds from our house,
you approach the hill and as you start to climb you put your foot down the car take off then suddenly it starts juddering like it is getting starved of fuel, 2 or 3 times i tried it from cold, it even did it warm up honister pass up at keswick, i told em and they came and took the car back, tried it, it didn't do it at first, but rang today and said it has done it yesterday, then gave me all this bollocks, a experienced land rover man told em this (lol) i thought well that news to me, i know who i am going to ask tonight!! so here i am,
i just don't think they want to spend anymore money on it, besides that i think they are far in experienced as well mechanically, they better join this forum!!!
have a look at this thread and tell me what you think dave
cheers andrew
auto box judders
been told today that a auto gearbox on a TD5, until warm will not work smoothly, ie acts like fuel starvation, has some sort of relief valve so you can not drive it hard until it warms up, have anybody else heard of this?
car starts to judder like fuel starvation at around 4000rpm,
as much to say! until warm do not try to race away from traffic lights etc,
There are loads of ways of making a TDi 300 run optimally, but if economy is your priority you picked the wrong car.
If you would like to pm me with the full details of your car,age, modifications, tyres etc I'll create a list for you to follow, OK?hi. not realy haveing any issues with my disco, just wandered if there is a way of makeing it more economical by changing gear ratios, whilst i have g'box and t'box in bits. maybe i am wrong, would'nt be first time. cheersI sent you a pm but when I wanted to check what I said I couldn't find it, senility setting in or maybe the stress of coping with french bureaucracy, e.mail [email protected] , regards Patricia dazcat)hi big lad do you know where i may get some information on 300tdi engine/auto box configurations? schematics and diagrams would be great.
Hiya matey, long time no hear, how's you doing? Things all pretty much the same here, both Disco's doing stirling work towing horse trailers full of hay, on ice and snow
I'm itching to get the new de-catt downpipe on the TD5 (which continues to give massive pleasure) but thick snow on the ground does NOT encourage me to "have a go". Later !!!!!!
Currently suffering from a bout of "man flu" so you'll know how serious that is.
Wendy had a CZ 125 a little while ago, but it was too temperemental so it had to go. Smoked well though.
Since we last spoke, I've erected a stable for Starkey - Wend's new Trotteur Français horse. He seems a nice character so he can stay - the previous one was an absolute bitch - so she's gone !!!!!! You might imagine that I wracked up a few browny points with that? But no
Right I'm off to the lounge by the fire to get warm, take very good care of yourselves
Cheers, Happy and Healthy (yes I know, but it could be worse??!!) New Year

last time i looked the Limousin was in a region in central France, we live in the Haute Vienne. Where are you? LEEI am buying in the USA cos i am moving there so it would be a V8 non lpg. It seems that there spec levels were different to the UK market?? I see a S & SE and that is all. At a squeeze a could afford a S 2003 face lift model. Is it more important to get one from 2001 or 2003 is there a huge difference?
where abouts in central france? -
