You're welcome though defer to the map to be certain rather than the word of some internet creature!:D "The restrictions of the LEZ of Brussels do not apply to the international E-road E19 and E40. Also excluded are 3 Park&Ride parking areas, located on the boundary of the environmental zone."...

You only need an "Umwelt Plakette" if you travel into an environmental zone, which a pretty much limited to cities. They will check foreign plated cars and it is enforced. Lots of information here...

No danger of it squeaking though...:D

You can get pre-made European driving kits if you want convenience, some of the following are common requirements in most countries on the mainland. High vis, one per occupant Spare bulbs Spare fuse warning triangle (or 2) first aid kit Jerry can with fuel in (also, it is illegal to run out of...

Fixed my interior door handle, could probably winch off of it now...:D

Thought about some light fettling to re-attach my driver's door internal handle that I pulled off the other day :rolleyes:, then it rained so its a tomorrow job.

They look like Discovery 1 pads, found out the hard way the Disco 1 axles and running gear are identical to 90/110/Defender... except the brake callipers :rolleyes: Could be a good excuse to fit some vented discs... ;) and do the wheel bearings at the same time. The Disco 1 pads are smaller...

Good news! Put an extra hole in before the bend and presto! Job's a good 'un! Thanks everyone.

Its out buy a good inch so I'm doubtful but will give it a try, if not then it'll 2nd hole slotting the current one (the amount of material that will be left between the 2 holes will b very little) that I try.

Trying to fit a drop plate tow bar today to my 90 and the chassis arms/braces are too long by about an inch. The cross member is new (300TDi). Any ideas? Are these arms different lengths between TD5 and TDi chassis or defender/disco TDi?

Checked my valve clearances, replaced the rocker cover gasket along the way and had fun and games with injector washers oh and flushed some brown crud out of my heater matrix.

I've not had a recurrence at all recently (though not done any long distance either), could well have been the crud inside the fuel filter housing I cleaned out whilst changing the filter housing out (because the bleed screw was stripped on the one I took off...), will give it a good booting up...

I've been having similar issues, some good ideas going on in this thread here; https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/power-drop-off-on-hills.327242/ Getting fuel out of the fuel filter bleed nipple using the lift pump priming lever can be a bit of a false indication of the lift pump state (I...

:D Other than give it a decent service probably isn't much needed (new oils all round and coolant renewal) it'd be worth having a check of all the hoses etc, they probably didn't age well. Maybe some easier to extra service jobs too (injectors clean) and check all your earth's and give 'em a...

Fitted jubilee clips to my rear coils to stop them dislocating every 5mins and took it for a quick blast to test it. So far so good.

Probably pass an MOT that.:D So Cavey_P38, are you saying your one little job has escalated into you acquiring 2 200TDI engines? for nowt more than a cheeky wink? I'd say your cracked cylinder is turning out alreyt!

Tried to figure out why my bottom rad hose is leaking under pressure, seems to have not sealed/clamped down properly with the jubilee so re-seated the hose and replaced the jubilee. Hopefully that fixes it :rolleyes:

The 200TDi will probably just need a bit of diesel and a decent cranking from a good battery.

Already checked it, its nice and clean

So I ballsed up the coolant renewal, flushed the radiator, header tank and stuck the house in the t-stat housing but completely forgot about the heater matrix and that I didn't take the drain plug out the side of the block... so the coolant is sort of renewed (at least some bits have had a could...
