Alex, Tyre is your safety net ie only part in contact with the road, so get a good set. If you must have muds then avoid remoulds as you do not know what you are buying yokohama do a nice mud tyre a geolander I think and these are new first use tyres. Kind regards Russell. PS tyres direct in...

My Patrol is a 2003 model. Kind regards Russell.

My old Trooper was the same turned out to be the bonnet switch adjusted it up a bit and problem disappeared. Kind regards Russell.

Not overly neat but I have tie wraped the hub centres on my Patrol as they came off quite easy and are quite expensive to replace, last one I lost on a green lane and luckly Joseph and I walked back down the lane and found both the plastic part and the very thin spring clip part. Kind regards...

I love this thread, I bet the MOT guy did not know just how many people where waiting for the final result of this MOT. So funny but glad for you that it did pass as bumpers not to my taste but would of been loads of hassle if they had failed. 12 months ticket will the vehicle last that long ??

All tyres fitted to car could not resist getting spare refurbed before fitment, problem with spare was bigger tyre ment it would not fit on door so had to put nuts behind to space it out abit, which then also ment I needed a longer padlock. Kind regards Russell.

I was getting 26 round town etc and 31 on a run, need to see if this has changed much since I put 33" tyres on yesterday. Kind regards Russell.

I did very simaler thing with mine the bumper survived it ok but mine had to be winched out backwards and that removed both the plastic sump guard and steering covers, which at first I was not bothered about as only plastic but now my engine gets all the crap thrown over it so need to get some...

Met up with Ian from Essex (fellow member on this forum) to collect a wheel and some 33" tyres from him, most cars I meet are lower than mine but Ians made mine look tiny, look at distance from kerb to our towbars. Ian said he bought the 4" lift but it went up closer to 5" really looked good and...

I fill up at either Esso or Shell and now cost coming down it is only £110.00 for a tank full no mixing no shaking just fill and drive, hoping that the cleaners and other additives in the fuel are doing what they are meant to do to protect my engine and prolong it's life. To be fair my commute...

Stiffer springs can never do the job of an arb, stiffer spring means less body roll but arb connects left side to right side, so with stiffer springs a right hand bend will see compression on left spring causing left side to dip and extension on right side causing right side to lift. With arb...

Glad the Patrol will not run on veg (seems terano not much better) I run low on fuel pull into garage add diesel till full then drive no probs. How much money is really saved v how much damage and agro you get, if you do not want to buy expensive fuels buy a petrol and get LPG conversion. Kind...

Problem with running no arb on road is that it will be when you need to brake hard and turn at the same time that you will realise as the car tips over exactly what the function of the arb is and that will be to late. Front arb all that weight etc is an accident waiting to happen if removed on...

Hi and welcome, I have a Y61 also but not quite as high up as yours!! what size are those tyres? Kind regards Russell.

I have owned both and the earlier 3.1 is a fantastic lump just keeps going however the later 3.0 lump has major injector issues mine only ever ran on 3.5 cylenders all the time I owned it. Kind regards Russell.

There is a set on ebay at the moment but they are collection only from Nottingham but set of 4 wants £350 if we could find another 2 people then only £88 per wheel. Item number 141497707032 Kind regards Russell.

My Patrol does not always like coming out of 4x4 have auto hubs never tried reverse as mine is the lever on transfer box does not move to 2x position. Kind regards Russell.

Mine ticks over 725 cold and 700 hot not a problem just feels it should be a tad higher.

my auto drops revs in gear as the other day I drove to school with it on and revs went up as I engaged park. Kind regards Russell.

Think mine is 700 but will check later when out and about, I know I feel it is a bit on the low side as my transfer box rubs a bit at tickover, just thought it was low as an auto. Kind regrads Russell.
