Those were the best upgrades of the year I did with mine Thumbs Up I was all for the black, but my dad said why not go for the sliver, and yeah he was right. My supervisor thinks they are mustard a long with the tires. Very Happy
Why the hell do some people fit cheap wheels and tyres to these is beyond me, mine was worse than a BMW in the snow! that was with the diff lock engaged sadly, the wet it was starting to get very skitsh too with the Censored that was on.

Do you often have trouble with that? Mine has no trouble down to -15°C as it hit last year. Spend bloody ages de-icing the inside though! Outside is easy, bucket of warm water and sorted. Ed

I feel your pain. I suffered for 18 years (I’m only 40) before the doctor finally decided I was old enough to get gout. I now take the magic allopurinol. If you’re not on it then go see the doc. 2002 110 td5

No, not normally. At your mentioned temp or lower, it can be a struggle, lots of turn over before fire up, but always manages in the end. Mind you this year she's had new oil, filter, diesel filter, coolant etc, so perhaps that helps. But let's be honest, it's always nice whenever a Defender starts, whatever the weather Whistle Monsieur Le Grenadier

An engine warning light! I’ve only driven it 3 times since March and any more than about half throttle brings the light on. It was remapped by JE Engineering with the intercooler replacement and the last time the light came on the AA’s code reader said it related to the MAF - so was unplugged, cleaned and re-seated and code cleared.

I’ve bought an icarsoft reader, which I’ll connect up in a couple of days.

Any suggestions?

An induction leak somewhere will bring on a mil. A pressure differential between maf and map sensors. Check all hoses and intercooler.

Thanks, will give JE a call in the New Year and get them to take a look - for £1,400 I’d expect to be able to use more than part throttle.

I am a very lucky and blessed husband! Never thought I get one of these... Even after I mentioned it (thinking they were < £100 for a day) my wife's reply was - DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THEY ARE!
I thought forget that then...
But in true 'Reading' style my wife has gone all out and and got me a day's private 4x4 tuition. Bow down Shocked Bow down Shocked Bow down

A friend who took a photo of my Ninety in the snow, during "the Beast" last March, had the photo put on a mug and his partner wrapped it up nicely so I had something Land Rover related to open on Christmas Day.
