Forgot to add, that when the landy is not performing well it gets a strange burning smell when I give it some beans which is not there when it is performing good. There is no black smoke present when it is running good or bad.

Please help guys as I am at my wits end at the moment!! Ok, the problem I have is inconsistent performance from my landy. As far as I can tell it seems to be turbo related. A few weeks ago I did a long journey and struggled for the whole day and hardly got into 5th gear all day as the engine...

Thanks mate. Will check that in the morning.

How do ya miserable old bunch :-) Anyone have any idea what the "BRAKE' light on the dashboard means when it is illuminated. Usually when I apply the handbrake only the (P) light illuminates, but for some reason today when I apply the handbrake the (P) light and the 'BRAKE' with a little...

What is the best way to free up a sticky actuator?? Having problems with my turbo at the moment which sometimes works brilliant and other times does not seem to boost very well at all. I know nothing about turbos really but remember reading up somewhere that that the actuator can stick and...

Love the look of that roll cage/light bar, but looking at mine it would not fit on with a snorkel would it??

Cracking vid :5bhurray:

Cheers Spunka. Think my chirping is definately belt or pulley related as you said. Think my belt tensioner maybe on its way out. Gonna check it over today. The reason I originally thought it was the turbo was because I am having performance issues at the moment but thats a whole other...

Thanks James. Will have a look tomorrow.

Is that the big hose from the top of the intercooler to top of the engine?? Sorry, i'm a bit dim when it comes to turbos!!!

Hi all. Was out on the weekend and under heavy load (steep hills) I was getting a chirping noise which was getting slower/faster with the engine RPM. I thought it may be coming from the turbo, but I drove all day and by the time I had got home the noise had stopped. I just checked my turbo...

It is only one of them. The other three are perfect, but I hate them and dont see the point in changing one, so will be changing them for something different.

Thanks guys. Think I need to start saving for a new set of tyres. Bugger :mad:

Ok, mine says DOT H2W8 YCT 1911 - so I presume that means that it was made in the 19th week of 2011???

There is a few codes and numbers on them but can not see anything that looks relevant to when they were made, or anything that looks like a year or date.

I'm not sure to be honest mate. I bought them used about 1.5 years ago, and they were pretty new then so maybe 2 years??

Hopefully them pics work, but maybe a little large sorry. I aint the best when it comes to pictures sorry!!!

Sorry, not sure how to put pics on properly. Hope those links work ok.

ONLY JOKING but got you looking. Sorry guys, but got a question to ask regarding one of my back tyres. I spotted yesterday that the sidewall appears to be peeling away from the bead slightly and wanted to know whether the tyre would be safe to continue using or not. I could take it to a...
