STOLEN - red TD5 90 T247 TEJ telford area (i think)
_Luke_ replied to discomikey's topic in International Forum
Gutted mate. I'm located in kford and mine was nicked around 5 years ago. Last seen headin too/around Batmans hill in Tipton. Which as you probably know full of people who live in nicked caravans or used to anyway. Hopefully the police will find the scumbags. All the best. Luke -
I got some for my disco, good kit but takes a while. Suppose they are made to order, was quoted 4-5 weeks was more like 8-10. But again they are good bits of kit and good prices too!

Should 2.5 NA leak off pipes be full of fuel
_Luke_ replied to jrjackso's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Yeah I meant in comparison to the tdi engines. Should have said that really! ? I also had no issues starting in temps down to -10 after 40-90 secs of glows. It's one of those Land Rover foibles that you become used to after owning the vehicle. Part of the personality I guess! -
Should 2.5 NA leak off pipes be full of fuel
_Luke_ replied to jrjackso's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
On my old 19j engine I used to give a slow count to 10 so more so 15 seconds on a autumn day. In winter i just held it on for a good while. Never had any issues, not the easiest engines to start in the winter though. -
This is what was up with mine. After taking the dash to pieces and find SFA, and a few non starts on a tesco car park I was ready to torch the motor! Found the alarm ecu on eBay for the same frequency and replaced it and it's been fine ever since!

Would this work on a discovery 300tdi? -
Is it a one button alarm or two button?

Hi all, I'm looking at some ideas for making the blank spaces on my 300 tdi dash more useable. Any ideas that anybody has already had and done. I'm thinking about putting a USB port into the dash to charge my phone and also a discreet aux in to do away with the annoying wire around the gear stick! Also how good are the dash repair kits? Mine is being held down by around 15-25 wood screws with plastic covers. Tatty is not the word! Any ideas guys? cheers, Luke

Now i know it sounds daft but.... can you put a safari snorkal on a 2.5 TD (19J) engine?? As i really dont care much for the mushroom jobbys. Or is there a alternative to the mushroom jobbys which are similar to that off the safari??

Changing to Boosts from Steels
_Luke_ replied to Evil J Guano's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Yup i have 205s on at the moment and on the speedo at 65 on the gps it says 57 haha. Ah well im treating the old girl to a revamp next week and got some cheap freestyle alloys with 235 bf A/Ts on so thatll make the speedo more realistic. -
i have dealt with craddocks a few times and unless you get the fat bald one with the glasses you should be alrite hes a bit slow lol, bought many things from there and havent been that bad. I spent 250 quid on a britpart 2 inch lift kit , roofrack and many other odds and sods and never had a problem with them. Now ive started using tinterweb to get stuff simply because a lot of places are cheaper because i live in dudley craddocks is in cannock which is a good hour and a bit drive via m54 and the like with diesel the way it is at the moment! Only problem that ive ever had with craddocks is the extornate amount of money it is for stupid little things, for example a NAS spec brake light assembly 10 quid doesnt even include the bulb!!! For those of us in the midlands there is a place that is meant to rival craddocks in bilston behind the big morrisons dont know what its like as ive never been there!

i bought a bearmach one for 125 quid from craddocks thinking itd fit my 90. Unbeknowest to me bearmach seem to have a thing against NAS lights! so it remains in the shed untill i get around to messing around with it to make it fit. If i had know that when i bought it i would have got the mantec one haha.
