Just goes to prove we were smarter than you ! We reckoned the little mini wheel nuts might pull through, so we fitted great big thick washers with central holes that JUST cleared the mini wheel studs. No wheels fell off! Our engine was a Austin 1100 with a Cooper S head (good trick), a...

The oil smoke may from too long ticking over. Make sure the sump level is OK, and particularly it isn't TOO HIGH (in case fuel pollution has taken place) and then make sure the coolant level is good. Now take it for a run, driving gently. My feeling is the smoke will clear when the draught...

Apparently he THINKS he does, and who are we ignorant peasants to disavow him of his self-aggrandisement? he will be THE expert. However, us ignorant peasants and probably also most sensible and practical people, would consider "stud pattern" to mean the combination of the number of the...

I have one of those. It's a top class tool.

It's the same thing because all the wheels under discussion are five-stud Landy wheels. I bought a Disco 2 TD5 recently. It has 18" alloys. If anyone wants to swap a set of 18" alloys for standard Disco wheels, let me know. There are good road tyres on them. CharlesY

The stud pattern (aka PITCH CIRCLE DIAMETER) may well be the same - I don't know - but that is only one of many factors involved. In my Disco 2 TD5 for example, the central hole in the alloy wheel is a dead fit onto the boss on the hub, and that (only) is what keeps the wheel centred. The...

There's a whole lot of difference between wheels that FIT, and wheels that are SAFE. Unless and until you know just why some of the responses are less than encouraging, you should remain under your slab.

I still am, but for my TD5 Disco. I don't think those ones will fit. I would take the lot though. Have a use for it all. CharlesY

Who cares who owns BP ? It exists only to rip us off.

Hi HOOK, That was March 2009! I wonder if he tried it? If he did, he may still be hunting for the little spring!

I see he's Naylor04. Please, someone please tell me, there aren't three more out there already are there?

Had a stiff frost last night . . . does anyone have any advice for us peeps how to start our diesels in the cold ?

Does anyone know what this thread has got to do with Hertfordshire Lanes?

Oh that's close enough, only 420 miles or so. Eight hours should see it. What's for breakfast? But seriously, try to find someone who has help you test the system under 1 BAR pressure. When it starts to leak (and it will) the leak will continue till you find it.
