What about putting the clamp on round one of the glow plug cables individually? Regarding the weather, mine is back to starting as normal so I’m thinking it was just the cold. Going to check the plug’s resistance though. Cheers, M.

Nodge, Can I put 225/60’s on my present rims that have 225/55’s on? Since the Geolandars aren’t available in 225/55/17. Cheers, M.

I’ve got a decent amount of tread left, at the moment. The post was part we’re going to the Scottish Highlands in April and I just like the look of chunkier tyres! They do look ok though. Cheers, Michael.

Cheers Malcolm, I’ll check them out too.

Thanks Kevm and STV.

Thanks Nodge, I did consider making a shunt resistors to use with my meters. They’re good for 10A so I could give them a try. It’ll just show O/L if it’s higher than 10. But by the time you’ve bought wire thick enough and spent time calibrating it all, I think I’d rather buy one of the Auto...

Thanks again Andy.

Thanks Stv, That makes more sense. I’ll see if I can get a value of them.

Hi All, With the recent cold weather, starting from cold has taken a bit longer than normal. About 4-5 scenes of cranking. It’s never not started and starts perfectly on subsequent starts. After reading various freds on trouble starting from cold I wondered if the glow plugs cold be an issue or...

Update: Fluids replaced - Engine oil, gearbox, IRD. Diff to be done when temperature outside goes up! Filters replaced - oil, air, PCV, turbo boost solenoid, fuel. EGR cleaned. Associated pipe work/hoses to be done when weather warms up. Bit lumpy on tickover today…..:oops: Thanks to all for...

Thanks Nodge.

Apologies for the tyre noob question. My FL has 225/55/17’s, as I haven’t found Geolander in that size, I’m assuming they don’t do it. So I can’t get a like for like swap. Can I put 225/60/17’s on the same rims? According to the website I posted a link to above 60’s are a 7 inch rim, the 55’s...

Found this: https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1=225-55-17X6.5ET45&wheel2=215-65-16X6.5ET46&fcl=50mm&scl=50mm&wcl=30mm&sr=0mm

Thanks Nodge, sounds suspiciously similar to the Jags.

Hi All, Having done all the service items recently, I’m moving on to irritating things: 1. Is the temperature gauge a ‘proper’ one or is it one of those ‘Cold, OK, Ha too late sucker’ as in my XK8? If the latter is there a LR equivalent of the Real Gauge kit? 2. Door mirrors. Every so often they...

Thanks Stance. How’s the snow?

Changed the oils in the IRD and gearbox today. What a horrible job. Definitely not my idea of a good time. I was under the impression that the drain/fill plugs were to be torqued to 35Nm. Well I had to get impact machine out for one! Glad I don’t have to do that as often as the engine. Diff left...

Thanks GG, I’ll give the link a go.

Thanks Nodge, GrumpyGel, got access to Win10 lapdog and a 2015 MacBookPro running MACOS 10.10.5 From what you’ve said I assume it’s just a Windows thing. So no good for my iPhone 11 either…? For now though I’m going to check what the leaks like in a couple of days to see how bad it is. Then make...

I’ve seen references to this RAVE manual but have yet to find one that I can open. Do you know where there’s a reliable source? Cheers, Michael.
