Fitted a tunit to my 2001 4.2 and the results were very good 10% or so better fuel economy or better performance, you couldn't have both! Withn regard to smoking I kept mine on level 5 of 9, this minimised smoke under hard acceleration, I also stopped using supermarket fuel and this also...

Well I think the fuel issue is effecting us all! I'm selling my old Mercedes 450SLC to make space for this future classic, the last of the real big no frills 4x4, a classic! I run the fuel for my 4.2TD (19mpg with the lift kit and oversize tyres) through my company but I just couldn't justify...

Well I think the fuel issue is effecting us all! I run the fuel for my 4.2TD (19mpg with the lift kit and oversize tyres) through my company but I just couldn't justify keeping it on the road when it was costing alot more just in desiel each month (£700) than my business partners new lease...

Thanks I'll get started tomorrow with the lube :oops:

Morning all, I have a problem with my spare wheel, I can't remove it, the winding mechanisum has seized and I can't remove the wheel at all, any idea's short of grinding it off?

Fitted a set last week my General AT2's had done about 35,000 and while still legal (approx 8mm) I was starting to lose traction off road. Paul at Westcoast 4x4 had a set in they were fitted Thursday, I've done 550mils at the weekend stalking in Scotland - first impressions; :thumbup: they...

I had exactly the same problem with my 2001, I bought the retractable cover off ebay only to find out it was too short, it's sat in my garage ever since, if anyone want's it £60!

Paul at Westcoast 4x4, Southport, Lancashire 01704 229014, he recommended a full suspension swap with an Ironman 2" lift £640 for the kit ( on 'B' road springs not hard expedition springs, shock's and torsion bars) £120 for fitting and if required £120 for removing all of the AHC system. All...

Paul I've recently had mine done by Paul at Westcoast 4x4 and 3,600 miles on I can't speak highly enough about the improvement in ride quality and body control, look for my thread on Ironman in June. I got Paul to fit the Ironman kit and remove all of my AHC gubbins as my insurance company...

I have downloaded it on to my iPad as well as my iPhone, I have a 'griffin survivor' case for the iphone so it's well 'ruggedised' the iPad i'll just keep in the car and use like a map, ie when I need it. It's worth noting that the App is designed for the iphone and therefore when you use it on...

I downlaoded this app a couple of weeks ago for use on the local river and It works superbly and would be equally at home off roading. £9.95 gets you a quarter of the country in their 1:50,000 scale maps I bought the Northwest and Wales, unlike google maps you do not need a 3G signal as the...

I get 21mpg all the time unless I really nurse her, by all the time I mean;- motorway average cruise 80'ish mph :twisted: - 21mpg around town and country road's - :P 21mpg towing 1600kg caravan 50'ish mph - :oops: 21mpg towing boat 60'ish mph - :D 21mpg you get the idea :D ps I do...

The height on the above pictures looks low as they were taken with the collapsed AHC, after Jon's observations regarding tow bar heights with a 2" lift I had the new tow bar fitted before it went in for the Ironman lift. I can report that when I collected my caravan today the correct 380mm tow...

Sussed it! :clap:

[/img] Dont know if i'm doing this right? [/img]

John I took insperation from a photo of the fitment of the electrics from your car, sorry I didn't ask if it breached copyright! I have the pictures of the adjustable towbar but have yet to work out how to attach? Do i need to have a certain number of posts?

Foamcell shocks which absorbe speed bumps very well :lol:

Jon Very interesting, I got my LC from Ireland where it was fitted with a 4 bolt 5 tonne tow hitch, it seem's quite low to me on N setting, I'll measure and check, what would you say is the ideal and max height for the centre of the tow ball? My 'outfit' as the Caravan Club call it, is a 10...

Thanks for all the replies;- Gav I'm based in Chester, and would love to do a bit of laning, used to do alot with the G wagon when it was working! Warren, I went with Ironman as it's what Paul at Westcoast recommended, I took the car to him when I bought it and got him to comprehensively...

I thought the 'dark side' had gone quiet over the last 12 months, you had all come here! No mod's to mine yet other than oversize Grabber AT2, tried a tunit chip for a while and was very impressed but when I started to have problems with fuelling I removed it (turned out to be a bad connection...

Gav, thanks very much for the prompt reply, and yes i've been active on 'the other site' I didn't know this one existed, having trawled the old threads here seems much 'sunnier' :?: Is there something I should know?

First posting here as I only just discovered you guys today! I own a 2001 4.2TD 100 series, I had it for 2 years and wont be going back to the 'best 4x4xfar :shock: ' Minor issues have all been sorted but the suspension has just started to act up and the dealer tell's me it's the rear...
