Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / December 2004Getting Albert in the morning!
Albert the 88" S3 is being delivered tomorrow, cant wait for a good old fashioned 'freeze my nuts off' session to have a good look round it tomorrow! Better get some EP90 & engine oil then! Speaking of engine oil, would you recommend some high mileage type engine oil for the 2.25L Petrol engine? Nige --?

A good quality classic 20w50 is best, forget semi or synthetic. If it's using pints of the stuff then get the cheapest you can find......

I drove it a total of 6 miles in the entire time I had it and never offroad. I have *no* idea what's going to fall to pieces on him. P.

Just done 39 miles in it & performed very well. The gearbox requires a certain knack & the steering is very unusual at the side of anything I have ever driven but I love it & am gonna give ait a bloody good clean etc. Did you check the levels etc matey? BTW, it seems to have 2 chokes, only the one on the steering column works? Is the other one for something else altogether like a take off throttle?? Ta Nige --?

Probably a hand throttle, will connect to the same linkage as the foot throttle. Regards. Mark.(AKA, Mr.Nice.)

[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > S3 88" (Albert) > __ 20w/50 is what you want. If the engine is sound and doesn't leak oil something like Formula or any other cheap motor oil will do since it's usually not in there very long (and the engine will be ok with any old rubbish). On the other hand, Morris 20w/50 Magnol is a very good "proper" oil, and Morris 20w/50 Ring Free is the mutts nuts - and a lot cheapr than most of the branded oils.

Speaking of engine oil, would you recommend some high mileage >type engine oil for the 2.25L Petrol engine? There was an interestng article in one of the LR mags not that long ago about potential for problems using the latest silicon vodkakick graphite enhanced turbo oils in older engines. Use an oil that was contemporary for the vehicle when it was designed and you can't go far wrong aparently, that's not the same as using any old cheap modern oil though. This link gives far too much info for your own good :) http://www.chris-longhurst.com/carbibles/index.html?menu.html&engineoil_bible.html All the best -- Just the facts please... www.4x4prejudice.org |
