Wow, now that is a SPIDER :D

Thanks for the reply. Forgive my ignorance, but what is a Spider? Am I right in saying that the temporary length of cable will provide a constant supply to the solenoid should the car fail to run the next time this happens? Cheers.

My Disco 1 randomly stalled today after driving for about 30 minutes. It also happened once about a month ago, but never before that. Basically the engine just cuts out while I am driving, with only the battery light illuminating as an indication of a fault. When attempting to re start, the...

Just bought a gas soldering iron from Maplin currently on offer from 49.99 to 29.99. Pro-Iroda Solderpro 70 Gas Soldering Iron Kit | Maplin It has a tip for traditional soldering, a blow torch attachment for fine soldering, a heat shrink attachment and a hot cutting knife. No electric...

Who said the Army isn't a good job :o and from what I remember from my 22 years, that I got plenty of time off in the Army, I now have to work for a living :o Anyway welcome to the forum, I've found lots of good info on here.

Thanks Blue :-)

welcome, I am also new on here, didn't get any replays to my introduction message though. Anyway I'm not far from Bath, my daughter drives there daily as she studies at the Uni. My 300tdi diff lock was stuck when I first got my car, but that was because it had never been used, it's a common...

Just thought I would share with those that are interested, my plan for a dual charge system for overlanding in my D1. The setup is more about auxiliary items such as a fridge and camping lights as oppose to a winch set up. I do have a winch hooked up to the starter battery, but this is only...

I am having a rack built by a guy up North who advertises on eBay and has a website MCB4x4. It's cheap in comparison to others. I am buying it for a roof tent and additional storage up front. It should arrive soon, but I have since learnt from Overland forums, that a few roof bars like the...

Thanks Trax, my 300tdi also decided not to start today, first time this has happened. Just had to close the crimp a bit on the thin wire where it fits to the solenoid. Glad I found this suggestion quite quickly.

I will be keen to know how you get on with the removing the EGR as I would like to do the same, cheers.:)

The MAF misses the EGR because I took the MAF bracket off and put a twist in it whilst it was held in a vice. There is also a similar mod that Space Dawg has spoken about where a bolt from the MAF is removed. I also offset the new bracket that now holds the air box in place, so it is slightly...

Another photo

Another snorkel thread to add to all the others (sorry). This will probably be deemed as a mad thing to do, but it is the route I took to installing a snorkel on my D1 300tdi Jap import: We are off to morocco in November so I am using this as my excuse to fit a snorkel. I am not keen on the...

If spaces are still available I suppose so. It's probably best to phone first thing in morning to find out (01531 638779). They are doing 2 runs per day, one in the morning and one at 1330hrs, 12 vehicles per run. I booked last week.

My wife and I are going tomorrow, we are new to the Land Rover scene so really looking forward to it. We have booked a slot on the afternoon Adventure self drive, I recon it's good value at 55 squid :D

Any chance of getting a copy of the wiring diagram you got from PaulMc please? Just realised that the diagram is on page 1, doh :o, ignore my question.

It's a Sony CDX-DAB500U, not expensive but does everything I need, Dab, IPhone USB, CD. I have set phase to normal, but didn't know about the mono bit so will have a look. it does sound OK though. Cheers.

Here is third photo:dizzy:

I couldn't work out how to post multiple pics, so here are the other 2
