    Where is the diesel pre-filter?

    Thanks Frank / Andy - looks like I'm adding a filter funnel to my kit list :)

    Where is the diesel pre-filter?

    Does any one have experience with the Mr Funnel filter? I've got a standard fuel filter for a UK spec 80 and have only just been looking into upper the filtering after hearing a couple of horror stories. It hadn't occurred to me to look into pre-filtering at the pump with regards to my trip.

    Looking for a reliable dashboard compass - any suggestions?

    That's what I was thinking. Have decided to go for the Silva 70UN, attachable but removable for storage & use away from the vehicle.

    Looking for a reliable dashboard compass - any suggestions?

    Thanks guys. I had been considering either the http://www.altimeters.net/altdashboardpkengl.htm or the http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/13309-01-Jeep-Clinometer-Tilt-Indicator-With-Compass-Jeep-Wrangler-CJ-YJ-TJ-JK-/261529760588 Will look at the Richie vs the Silva 70UN.

    Looking for a reliable dashboard compass - any suggestions?

    Have been trying to find a good non-digital compass to mount on my dash but only seem to be able to find super cheap plastic ones that I can't quite bring myself to any faith in or relatively expensive marine ones (£60+). Does anyone have any recommendations of where to look?

    Big Green: 80 Series overland build - or is it more of a kitting out?

    Both aerial and starter fixed! Win! My total faith in Julian paid off :)

    Big Green: 80 Series overland build - or is it more of a kitting out?

    Had a bit of a disaster on the cruiser yesterday. Whilst trying to fit the new electric aerial inside the passenger-side wing I managed to knock two of the wires for the starter motor out of their sockets (stupid that something so vital was so easy to dislodge!). The wirings been reconnected...

    Big Green: 80 Series overland build - or is it more of a kitting out?

    Beaconsfield. With any luck I won't still be here next friday. I'm hoping to be able to get away today, but with the way things are going that might require a small miracle...

    Who is doing what maintenance today?

    I'm back in the workshop today, trying to install a Ring AE916 electric aerial which is proving to be impossible as there are no installation instructions or guidelines anywhere! Anyone have experience fitting one of these?

    Big Green: 80 Series overland build - or is it more of a kitting out?

    Today felt like such a lucky day when it started. But after we ended up a man down, required several do overs on the exhaust connections due to stupid mistakes and I lost a screw for the stereo frame whilst fitting it back on, I'm not so sure... The screw wouldn't have been an issue really had...

    Dash Panel Removal on Later Models

    I removed the surround from my 1995 for the first time the other day; was actually pretty straight forward. As Gary said: remove the little receptacle above the radio - there are two little clips on the top underside of the receptacle that need gently pulling down whilst you tease the...

    Big Green: 80 Series overland build - or is it more of a kitting out?

    Absolutely shattered after a day entirely devoted to getting the new clutch installed, refitting the gear box and changing out the middle exhaust section. May not sound like much but my poor core is definitely not used to the work out it’s getting as I work on the undercarriage! There had...

    Jambo from Watamu!

    Hi Casper, welcome to the forum! What prompted the change over to the LC? I mean, other than that it's a far more superior vehicle of course :icon-biggrin:
