anyone?

Hi. What did you end up getting? I have just picked up a 2005 commercial - and I want to get some winter/AT's on it before the bad weather hits? Thanks

Hi All In my 200tdi I use a 50:50 Veg/Diesel mix in summer 100% Diesel in the winter No ill effects to date (3 years and 30k miles later). I tip it into the tank and run every 10th tank full on 100% Diesel. The only disadvantage is the number of questions you get asked when you tip the Tesco veg oil into the tank in the Tesco car park

Are they not 'device specific' codes? If anyone wants to send me a D3 code I can test it on my machine that is set up for a D2

Brilliant - thanks for that. I'm now watcching for a local one coming up for sale on e blag. G

hi all - can anyone advise on how you get the Simbars rack to fit a Defender? Thanks

Thanks Dave Is that the 'fully loaded' look.... ahhh just what a 110 was built for. Your rack looks like just the job..... I will have a search around for a Simbars. They look a bit better value vs a maxxraxx one as well! I assume that it was the 'back plate' that needed modified? thanks Graham

sorry to re-open this thread....but I'm looking for a bit of help..... I have the spare mounted on a Swing away carrier...and slightly larger rubber than the norm.... I'm looking at a MaxxRaxx carrier - but I'm not sure which of the two 4x4 versions would actually fit (the Discovery or the 4x4)? Has anyone fitted one? I am looking to carry 4 bikes. Thanks Graham

Depending on Price I run up to 50% veg oil in the summer. (Max 25% in the winter) Pura 1ltr is £1.09 in Tesco at the moment (It was 52p a couple of months ago!) I have carried out no mods. It runs very smoothly (some say its better). Just change your fuel filter after a couple of 100 miles as the veg oil 'cleans' your pipes etc....

Thanks Mo I fitted another gauge last night......and it was EXACTLY THE SAME ie showing full....but the tank is not full! I'm getting SO FRUSTRATED with this!!!!!!

IMHO - and having used both...........you are better off using Dinatrol

Hi All a NEW TWIST................ I have now got my fuel warning light working again........... I pulled the sender....moved it up & down...it works OK...... after EXTENSIVE head scratching... it appears that it had been re-fitted in such a way that the float was 'getting caught' on the fuel pickup pipe. I have a HD long range baffled tank in place - so its a bit of a fiddle to get the sender in at the correct angle. The person who had been working on it had even snapped one of the 4 set screws that hold the sender in place .... (another hours work for me & my dad!) The fuel gauge is DEFIANTLY not working - it reads 'full' all the time...but I guess it could just be defective after all these years? The resistance from the sender was the same at the sender as it was across the gauge. (Aprox: 330 full; 110 half full; 20 empty - measured in Ohms). Graham

Hi Mo - i have checked it.....the bulb is on all the time....and the gauge is showing full.....a total contradiction!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrr

I feel for you - its very annoying!! I'm having a NIGHTMARE with my Fuel gauge and low level warning light ...the gauge stopped working (always showing full) and now the warning light has packed up!!! I have changed the sender (2 wire) but to no effect...... can anyone tell me what the resistance should read when the sender is on Empty/Quarter/Half/three-quarters and FULL? HELP!! I'm running out of patience - even had it into an auto-electrician and he has not been able to fix it!!! my only fuel 'gauge' is when I splutter to a halt....

Your comments are very interesting indeed. I have a Red Optima that was bought new around 12 months ago - but now does not hold its charge for more than 3 days! It is part of a split charge system in my Defender and the Yellow Optima now also appears to be failing after 18 months. I have had to stick my trusty Samson lead acid battery back in while I test the system and see if the optimas still fully discharge when not fitted. I have a cut-off switch fitted so there should be NIL leakage when its sitting unused! It is VERY VERY frustrating. Graham
