i was wondering if anyone could recommend a volt meter suitable for testing some of the wiring on my Landy please?

Devinitely new pope, actually several new popes. Enough smoke to be a bit embarrassing. Worried the neighbours might be thinking I've bought a knacker

Doesn't smell bad usual exhaust smell

Power I think is ok, won't go much over 60 mph but think that's normal.

my 200tdi has a smokin problem. It's white smoke, loads of it when cold and also when I take foot off the gas when the engine is warmed up. My mate thinks it's a timing issue but wondered if anyone else had any words of wisdom? Cheers

Yes I plan to change them over for off road use only. Sorry I'm still learning this stuff. What do you mean by dumper tyres? Can you give me an example please?

Brilliant, thank you for your words of wisdom guys. I think I will def go for the bigger tyres but will have a think about whether to go for the Coopers or the insa turbos's

Thanks will have a look at these two. I think I might be stating the obvious here but am I correct in saying that the 265's are wider and therefore grippier in the mud than the 235's?

Hi Landypals I currently have original steel wheels and all terrain tyres on my 90. I want to invest in a separate set for off road use only and I'm looking for advice on best choice of tyres. I will probably buy 16" modular steel wheels with either 235/85/16 or 265/70/16 tyres. I don't at this...

Thanks for your responses folks. You were right there was a plastic thingy from the vent into the engine bay but the pipe from the air filter box wasn't connected to it. The pipe by the way is made of some kind of canvas material which I wouldn't trust to keep the water it. Anybody know what...

I want to instal a snorkel to my Defender 200tdi. My current set up is there is an old pipe about 4 inches in diameter coming from the air filter box but its not connected to anything. Its just loose and pointed towards the vent on the wing(LHS) ie pointing backwards and up I have looked at...

Had another good look underneath at the weekend. Found that one of the bolts on the sump can't be tightened fully ie it's turning but not tightening which suggests that the thread in the block is goosed. Guess this means it would have to be re-threaded. Without a lift / ramp I think this is...

That's a real shame. I don't get what the problem is. We are respectful and stick to the tracks and so not doing any harm. When you say not legal what does this mean? What law is being broken? What actually happens if we were seen up there?

Was speaking to a friend last night about Fala and he told me there is a similar but longer track across the lammermuir hills. It's Longyester to Carfraemill. Anyone used this in recent years? He normally walks it but he's seen plenty 4x4 s on it.

Last chance. I've arranged to meet Chris at Stair Arms outside Pathead at 10.45. You're very welcome .

No bother. It sounds more of a farm track than anything technically challenging but I want to get out for a drive anyway. I live in Porty and leaving around 10.30. I'll pm you my number.

Hi Yes I've joined SLROC and Mud Club and now starting to pick up some useful knowledge from folk. Landyzone is great too. People have been very helpful.

Hi Chris Thanks for posting on this. I'm going to do the Fala Moor Road route today which Domino suggested. What are the East Lothian ones you mentioned? Northumberland sounds good too. I'll give you a shout in the new year and we could maybe get down there and you could show me the ropes. That...

Cheers mate. That's kind of you to take the time to explain to me. I'll have another look tomorrow with that in mind.

Thanks very much for posting that photo. So what are the two parts you have circled ? I guess these are common sources of leaks then?
