    Torquing 300TDI head bolts 5 Nm more.

    Torquing 300TDI head bolts 5 Nm more.

    Thanks warmers..... thought they said these are not stretch bolts...they are bolts whcih can be reused up to 5 times. The BMW stretch bolts can't be reused since they stretch when first installed and have to discarded when doing any head removal. I don't doubt your guys here, I know the Landys...

    Torquing 300TDI head bolts 5 Nm more.

    Hi Guys, I know some purists will say follow OEM specs but I wanted to tighten my 300tdi head a bit more...question is how much is too much and at which torque stage. I have installed the thickest head gasket (no holes) lowering the compression ratio a bit and have re-bored the block 40 thou...

    Sandy Landy will be rebuilt, just to make her new again.

    Time consuming but it was worth it. The camera does not give it justice, its a beautiful metallic finish same as the landys body color. .

    LED Headlights - Which are best?

    Good to know, heading to Miami soon .... will look at some in person lit up, by those who have demos set up at their shops. There was one seller who has an angel style kit that was very bright, too bright for some as stated in their reviews, that's why I said its a hit and miss. His demo was...

    LED Headlights - Which are best?

    True, works out to around US $114.00 but you would still want a half decent pair that works better than the candle lights. Some blow 10 times as much at the watering hole having many pints at a time :) Without getting into the science of it all, there is enough reviews and basic knowledge to...

    LED Headlights - Which are best?

    Thats why I said the higher current will cause them to burn out so they need current limiters, I had to edit adding no sense after the 7.9 amp pull. The video I posted above is as good as it gets to comparison IMO and for over all knowledge led headlight and lighting knowledge. I like this guys...

    LED Headlights - Which are best?

    Vilguy its a hit and miss lol. There is one of the projector led head lamp seller who got great reviews over all, everyone loved the brightness but they burnt out after while. Looking at his kit, I did not see a voltage/current limiter or driver, however he has a regulated power supply in his...

    LED Headlights - Which are best?

    After reading many of the negative reviews from quite a few sellers, failure rates are still too high IMO for the $130 to 200 range kits...so you have to choose well. I use Amazon to read the reviews, most sellers use both ebay and amazon, but amazon is better for reading customers reviews.

    LED Headlights - Which are best?

    Just found this re-seller who is in the US too and for the NA market. They claim that they actually assemble these in house in the USA at USD 129.00. Nice to see that they took the time and effort to do an actual unbiased and continuous unedited video demo of the product...

    KBX Headlight surround.....before I break it!!

    Just found this re-seller who is in the US too and for the NA market. They claim that they actually assemble these in house in the USA at USD 129.00. As I was just reminded, these are intended for the Noth American market and not for RHD vehicles. Since they assemble these inhouse, I will ask...

    LED Headlights - Which are best?

    Yes, directional lighting has to be considered. Though I posted that link, I was not advising the OP to get that specific one.. In this post I wrote a few mins ago I stipulated the fact that buyers must research well since many re sellers can be misleading. KBX Headlight surround.....before I...

    KBX Headlight surround.....before I break it!!

    I have the same KBX front kit and it all came off easily, love their build quality actually. LED head lights have dropped consiberly, many landy guys have had some good results with this type and style. Do your research well on them since some info can be misleading. I think for the most part...

    LED Headlights - Which are best?

    This is an ongoing question and yes technology is improving while prices are dropping which is good for us. When I was researching this 3 years ago, LED headlight kits were as high as USD 700.00 Many Landy guys have used this type/style and have had great results, they are fairly affordable and...
