[tree/rock sliders]

Hi, anyone heard of this company. Link

I am after a set of rock/tree sliders and this company seems to be offering a set at a reasonable price. Rocky

[What Has happened??]

Hi, when I replaced the head gasket on my 300 I had the head skimmed and used Landrover gaskets and never had anymore problems. I certainly wouldn't run it as it is. Rocky

[Any Frozen Doors ?]

If anyone is interested I use Halfords silicone rubber lubricant and never have a problem, where I live we have had a few nights below -20! I use white lithium grease and WD40 in the lock barrels.

Regards, rocky

[Underbonnet liner tdci puma]

I have a red ticket stuck in the middle of the steering wheel. I don't think the insurance company would look too kindly on me for incinerating it. Still I wouldn't have to worry about it freezing!! rocky

[Underbonnet liner tdci puma]

It's not the block so much as the injector pipes and rail. When we had -20 a couple of weeks ago I lifted the bonnet to find everything sparkling and white with frost, even inside the vehicle was white. I had to put a fan heater on the top of the engine to get it to run.

Since then I have been using an anti-waxing additive which seems to be working (I'll find out in the morning!) I just want to keep the frost off the pipes and rail without having to keep putting a fleece over the engine overnight. Rocky

[Underbonnet liner tdci puma]

Hi, Anyone know where I can buy an underbonnet liner for my puma 90? It's not for noise reduction but to keep the frost off the engine. It's going to be below -20 overnight here, it is already -11!!

Have you had a look at the Famous Four one? rocky

[diesel fuel additive/anti-waxing]

Hi, as I mentioned in an earlier post, when I asked the main agents if I could use some parrafin or petrol to stop the diesel waxing with the puma engine, they said that it wasn't advisable. I used parrafin at 4ltrs per tankful in my old 300tdi and I never had any more problems. rocky

[diesel fuel additive/anti-waxing]

Hi, a couple of weeks ago I had problems with my 90's diesel freezing. After a bit of searching I came across "stanadyne performance formula" diesel additive which is supposed to help prevent diesel gelling and waxing.

I bought a 235 ml bottle to try, which treats 120 litres. It can be bought online at www.dieselpartsdirect.co.uk, although I managed to get mine at my local LR agents. It is a lot cheaper on the net.

Hope this maybe some use. Regards, rocky

[Odd Td5 Issue]

Hi, sticking thermostat, partial blockage of radiator? rocky

[90 tdci wiring dagram]

I'm just getting past it!! rocky

[90 tdci wiring dagram]

Thanks western, I have that but it gives the wiring in a tabulated form rather than the older type which showed the cables going to different parts of the vehicle. I was looking for diagrams similar to the ones in the back of Haynes Manual, which are easier for the layman to follow.

Regards, rocky

[90 tdci wiring dagram]

Hi,

Does anyone out there know where I can get hold of a wiring diagram for my 90 tdci,'07 plate.

Regards,

rocky

[Doors that will not shut!]

Hi, I use 3-in-1 white lithium grease for the locks and halfords silicone lubricant for the rubber door seals. The temperature here has been down to -20 and have had no problems so far. WD40 is good for the locks as well. regards, rocky

[Alternator is useless]

Hi, whilst on the subject of repairing an alternator, is it possible to buy new brushes, and where from. regards, rocky

[Fuel and defender performance.....]

The only time i use tesco is when i get the 5p off, otherwise it is asda, which gives me about 1.25mpg more on average. rocky

[90 rear shockers]

thanks for the help. rocky

[Help for a chum]

When the diesel my 300tdi froze, lost power but managed to get home by running on tickover in low range. The pump was really noisy, so bad that I thought it was shot.

Changed the fuel filter and put the vehicle in a warm garage till it thawed out. Never had another problem. rocky

[90 rear shockers]

Thanks mate, would it be wise to change both rear rather than just one? rocky

[90 rear shockers]

Hi, how easy is it to fit new rear shocks on a 90. The outer sleeve on one has unattatched itself and slid down the shocker leaving the plunger exposed. Regards, rocky.

[Coolant loss]

Hi, when mine did that it was the headgasket, blown between no. 3 and 4 pot. Have you checked to see if there are any bubbles in the expansion chamber when the engine is running?

I hope its's just a leak somewhere. regards, rocky

[Coolant loss]

Hi, is it a 300 tdi. rocky

[Insurance Nightmare]

Hi, forgot to add that is with Tesco.
