I'm looking some decent quality on road tyres and steel wheels. The tyres will go on the alloys presently on the car, and the tyres (AT's) presently on the car will go on the steels for use in winter/snow etc. Anyone know of a good place to pick up such items, and who can deliver to NI? Ta.

Thanks, will remember that.

Not sure who I'm with, it's all done as part of the business insurance package by the bloke who looks after all that sorta stuff for me. We have 3 company cars with them plus all the usual business insurance so I suspect that's why it don't cost us more: They're already ripping us off!

Didn't effect the insurance surprisingly. Moneywise I paid enough so that both of us were happy.

Test drive today was on a road I never drive, so I never got a feel for how different it drove. Tonight drove home the normal route and the difference is very noticeable. Most noticeable is the increase in power: It pulls away much more firmly and accelerates at higher speeds much more...

Thanks to seeing a comment made on the forum I bought JonathanM's PSI box and K&N filter, all arrived as expect and it's now been installed. The T2 certainly seems quicker in the higher rev's, not sure on the low rev's, will have to see how it feels after a few drives. All in worthy purchase...

Been driving the navara since Oct last year but recently went back to the T2, forgot just how much roll and bounce it has, compared to the Nav! Can I firm up the suspension and reduce the bounce and roll on the T2 without having a negative effect on the handling? It's never off roaded now so...

Nah, just bio every other fill or so. And I've already been thru the changing filters stage. Proper diesel from now on, sod the extra cost! I've bought JonathanM's powerbox off him so that should hopefully be fitted for next weekend when we have a long run scheduled so be interesting to see...

What's svo?

Hi chaps, well it's finally sorted. Two days in the garage with a couple of false starts, but we got there. The problem was bad fuel, pretty common here in NI but as we always buy from reputable dealers figured we'd be safe, sadly not the case. The dodgy fuel had blocked everything up with a...

The garage did hook it up to their computer thing but it said no codes were recorded! I'll check the downloads section and take that into the garage in the morning. Thanks. When you had your problem did it also beltch out lots of blue/white smoke? As a side to that, it's been poor at starting...

I dunno, would a blown turbo cause smoke? I'm maybe just clutching at straws here for what is actually wrong, I just summised the turbo as the car idles fine and chugs when the revs hit the point the turbo should kick in! Anyone any ideas what the problem might be?

Would that cause the smoke though?

A week or so ago the orange warning came on, engine was running fine. Stop/restarted and the light went out. Over the next few days this happened a few times, had the car into the garage (with the light on) but no codes when hooked into the computer! The other day the light came on and the car...

Thanks Toolbox, you might have solved the problem: The light is coming on and going off at will now, but the car runs fine regardless. been happening for about 100miles now. Took it into the garage, plugged in the computer, no code! Will check the fuel filter tomorrow and report back. It's...

I have two recent PM's still in my outbox, not the sent box. Does this mean they have not been sent? Or does it mean they've not been read yet? Or summit else!

Thanks for the comments folks. Did a total trip of about 30 miles and it never came back on. When it was on the car ran as normal, so I reckon it might be like the issue above, caused by water, as today the car got it's annual clean (and polish!). Will monitor it and see what occurs.

Oops, forgot to mention, it's the terrano. I wondered if it was a water thing as i cleaned it this morning. i parked up for 20 mins and it's gone off now so will see what happens on the trip home. cheers for thew reply.

Hi, just on way to shops and a orange engine shaped light has come on on the left hand side of the dash. I'm at thew shops now so can't research it. What is it and is it safe to drive 10 miles home. Car running normally.
