I have been thinking about this for a while and don't know enough about airflow to know if it will work or be a waste of money I already have a snorkel fitted and by its nature I am sure that it restricts air flow. I originally fitted the snorkel becaues of all the dust and sand that you get whilst driving in the desert. It also gets very hot which means that the air is less dense than a colder climate, especially in the summer when it can reach 45+degrees Thats my reasoning for the 2nd snorkel, has anyone done this or got any advice Its probably worth adding I have a larger performance intercooler/chip/K&N airfilter Thxs Jason

Mandy Post ammended, I don't want to get on your wrong side Did come back to the stand but I think you were all off driving somewhere, could nt wait as I had a flight to catch May be see you next time Jason

Managed to get down to the show on Sunday morning for a few hours. 1st LR show I have been too so difficult to judge against any of the others Picked up a few bits and pieces, but was suprised at how many of the traders did nt have stuff for the TD5, and I don't think the stuff I was looking for was too extreme i.e I wanted a set of diff guards and nobody had them for the TD5, which is a pain as I have to order them and have them shipped to Dubai, was also looking for a service kit same story Never mind though enjoyed the few hours that I was there Good to catch up with Bruce on the Tomb Raider stand and to see so many TR's turn out for the show, they all looked clean and shiny compared to mine

You can download off the internet as long as you have a decent conx Use someone like torrentspy etc

The endless search for the perfect tyre. I currently run Yokohama Geolanders270/75/16's and to be honest they are a good compromise for on road/sand driving BFG AT's seem to be the popular choice out here As for size there seems to be 2 schools of thought, tall skinny tyres & fatter wider tyres.It would be nice to have the time and money to try all the different options You have got me thinking know that I should opt for a skinnier tyre

I have just fitted some wheel spacers and used "loctite" on the nuts, no problems with nuts coming loose, not yet anyway I did spend a while though making sure I cleaned the hubs and had a nice snug fit before tightening the nuts

Ivan/Matt Cheers, going to probably end up with 265/75's on the rims, lets hope there's not a problem with the stud lenghs, may have to take off the wheel spacers I have just put on

I'll be there Sunday, not working on a stand but spending lots of cash Then trying to get it all o/b the flight home Sunday night

I have perfomed a search but been unable to find anything Someone has kindly donated a set of steels wheels from a D1 I know the offset is different, what will I have to do in order to fit them and stop them from rubbing ?Any other issues as well that I need to know about Will only be used when I am out in the desert so I can go for a more biased sand tyre Feel like I am always asking questions and not contributing, but with time and knowledge that will change

An answer is an answer no matter the content Think I will wait and see what happens, you never know if I stick my head in the sand the problem might resolve itself

Hopefully this is just an electrical gremlin, it happend for the 3rd time today Just as the engine has fired up the speedo travels all the round the clock and then settles back Everything is working fine, just wondered if anyone else has experienced this Usual start up procedure, wait for all lighst to go out etc before turning over Cheers Jason

Cheers Jim, had another look tonight and your not wrong about the self tapping screws. Will have a go at it at the w/e and see what happens

Must be the aircon unit then, any tips ?

Before I start taking things to bits, any tips on removing the above, unit sits in the passenger footwell just below the dash Need to take it out and have a look as its making rather a lot of noise Cheers Jason

After removing the EGR set up the noise temporarily stopped for about a week and I thought I had solved the problem, but it returned, so must have been coincidence that it stopped Could nt figure out what it was, and after visits to numerous garages decided I would have to live with the noise Put the old girl in for a service 2 days and got a phone call that my engine mounts needed replacing, as they were shot, not cheap either from the stealership here in Dubai, just under 200gbp Anyway picker her up last night and the noise has finally gone Jason

To add my tuppence worth I purchased a 182C from ebay for $450,brand new in a box, excellent bit of kit Its a marine unit so its waterproof and you can add a memory card, nice size screen as well

Its been along time but I have finally got to the bottom of the strange noise and thought I'd just give you an update, as so many people gave advice I finally narrowed the noise down to the EGR valve and ordered a blanking kit replacement Just fitted it, noise has gone and throttle response has improved no end Cheers Jason

Considering putting lockers into my 90 Have been doing some research and came across this company www.kamdiffs.com Is anyone out there using this set up ? Any advice appreciated Cheers Jason

Not to rub it in but we don't pay road tax here in Dubai

Finally got round to purchasing a GPS unit I want to have a go at installing it myself this weekend I will be mounting on the dash and want it permanently wired in Are there any spare wires behind the dash that I could use ?It will be going into a 2001 TD5 Any other tips welcome Cheers Jason

Peter Cheers, just ordered one Jason

Porny Thanks for the reply, looks like the garage here knows less than me Just had this part off the car and noticed there's large deposits of soot, which I assume is down to the low quality of the fuel over here What's a good cleaner to "flush" these deposits from the engine Appreciate any comments as I don't know a great deal about mechanics but am learning slowly Jason

Pics attached Pic 1pic 1 The part in qusetion is above the blue silicon hose pic 2 Taken from r/h side of vehicle Checked but cannot see any part numbers on the part in question And lets hope they are not trying to take the p*** out of me Jason

Does anyone have a part number for the above ? Just had the car serviced and been told it needs replacing, 1 small problem contacted the local LR dealer here and they don't know what I am on about Not suprising as they are not the sharpest tools in the box Cheers Jason

Adam Just a flying visit, leaving for Addis tomorow then onto NBO Monday evening, probably leaving Wed Staying out by Wilson airport somewhere If you can ask the question it would be appreciated, never know what bargains there could be Jason
