  1. I don't think you loose as much as 10-15%. Let's say 5-7 liters. Could not be much more than that. Not to take over this tread, but have anyone mounted a 127 liter tank? Is it possible with the wingtank I already have? Or does it get in conflict with my already mounted extra? Ronny S
  2. I have the same setup on my 110. But i did not use the pipe between the tanks. As far as I could see, the pipe would be easy to rip of when ofroading, so I let it be. Besides, it's not a lot of fuel you miss in the bottom of the extra tank. If i say 5-7 litres??? What I have done is to unscrew the bottomplug from time to time (mostly after beeing abroad), and usually there is some sand, soil and things I don't want following the little slump of diesel into the pump.

  3. What about accoya? Should be up to it.. No warping at all. Ronny S
  4. In Norway, and rest of Scandiavia, DEFA heaters are widely used. They are known to be the best ones. You can read about it here. They warm up the coolant that again heat up the block, oil, and give a little heat to the coupe. The coolant we use here is able to handle temperatures down to about -50C, so frozen coolant should not be a problem problem if you regulary check how much cold it can handle. I have a Webasto heater in my Def110, and it is to good help, but it really drains the battery if used without the motor running. I use the Webasto only when I drive, cause the motor gives poor heathing to the coupe. Besides, the Webasto can be a pain to start if it's really cold. So it's not unusual to have ice on the inside of the windows. Luckily the cars sent to Scandinavia have a Northern Climate Pack, with contains heated front and rear window, heated front seats and bigger alternator and battery. I plan to put in a complete DEFA system in my own car soon. I have had it in my earlier cars, and it really is helpful. I don't live in the coldest part of Scandinavia, but from time to time we have down to 30-35 below, and to get in the cold car at 6.oo in the morning is not just a pleasure. Last winter we had one night at 43,8 below. My 110 Td5 refused to start that morning. Even with the new 115 amp/h battery I had. But luckily I live on the top of a loooong hill, so I managed to rollstart it. But it was a very cold start of the day before I got to job. Ronny S
  5. Could you use something like this? Made in Denmark, and looks very good. Don't see much of it when closed. Ronny S
  6. Get in touch with the National or regional Land Roverclubs in the countries you want to visit. Usually they will give you a lot of tips on where to go, and you will also be invited to happenings held by them. They may have contact with garages if you should need more help than you can manage by yourself. I have been driving thrue Europe some times, and bring not more than I need. Parts are easily to get in Western Europe, and if you are having difficulties, call the local clubs. Ronny S
  7. Thanks a lot. I'll have a look for the connector/plug tomorrow. Must the new item be adjusted? I think about the teeth in the hub that are giving the signals to the ABS-sensor. And another thing. We put on longer springs, dampers, brakehoses... But is there longer ABS-wiringlooms? I have not lifted my car, but I came to wondering about it. Regards, Ronny S (from Norway)
  8. Thanks a lot Western. Do I have to change the whole sensor, or just the wire? Ronny S
  9. For a while I have had problems with ABS/TC-light on my MY2006 110 SW. The light started blinking and after a while it's constantly on. Today I found this Anyone know how much I have to change? Or can I just replace the part of the wire that is gone? Partnumber? Ronny S
  10. What about Roverantics? British company Ronny S Norway
