    Would you buy a Cat D write off

    A Cat D is usually valued at 20% less than a unrepaired vehicle, if the repair has been carried out properly a Cat D is a good buy if you plan on keeping the vehicle long term and not worried about resale values. I would not let the fact it is a Cat D put me off buying it, if price is right with...

    90 or 110 which is best for towing?

    I have towed my caravan with my 90 and it was fine, although they are a bit slow to setting off but once upto speed they are stable and fine, same engine/torque as 110, and towing limit, but for me I would consider 110 if carrying rear passengers and cargo over the 90, the 90 will have very...

    Not Able to Go in Gear unless in High Drive

    Yes but as the owner obviously knows nothing about how his landy works so I was keeping it brief for road use. Not a good idea to be turning corners in diff lock. Agree good idea to engage it now and again on the straight briefly to keep linkages free. I have never needed to use it yet, but my...

    Not Able to Go in Gear unless in High Drive

    Stick it in high range and leave it there, it is the normal position for road use, you should never need to use low range or diff lock under normal use. DRIVING IN DIFF LOCK WILL WIND UP YOUR TRANSMISSION , IT IS ONLY USED IF YOU ARE STUCK AND WHEELS SPINNING, BUT SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT OF DIFF...

    What’s this pipe?

    The EGR valve will have had a vacuum pipe like the one in the photo, there are vac pipes running from the solenoid valves on the inner wing that are used on the EGR system. They are usually thinner blue pipes with thicker tube at each end (like the photo) to fit over the EGR valve pipes.

    TD5 Smoking!

    The MAF meter measures the air inlet and adjusts the fuel to suit the flow it should default to a mixture that will run the engine when it fails but it needs the MAF to run the correct mixture.

    TD5 Smoking!

    And check the Mass air flow meter. I refitted my EGR and CAT as the exhaust on mine smelt badly and it made a vast improvement, although mine was not smokey.
