I come this summer, among other things, through the Karakum desert. Since there are not very many gas stations there I am dependent on having 20-40l petrol in canisters. Therefore my question: is it worrying (apart from the usual safety concerns to have petrol in a canister in a car) to carry petrol in a canister at 45-50°C air temperature? Are there differences between plastic and metal canisters?

hello together, I’ve been trying to sell my Defender 90 for about three weeks and have had strange encounters since almost every day. finnen krichen with digital cameras through the car and talk about contractors who want to press money into my hand and then at some point report to me, eurocarmobil pours sms on me. danen leave me endless messages on the page. Austrians want to be called back, Englishmen want to send me high queues, which I practice r my account should run and the rest should be transferred back. I should call back 0190 numbers and dictate Eastern European chassis numbers. is there actually also normalos in the scene? is there any way to get in touch with people with whom you can normally talk about tüv and asu in order to agree on a fair price? so about tips, where you can advertise, call or put on the net, I would be very grateful!

Hello people I have a question, I have a SsangYong Korando KJ, which is Baujar 20.06.2000 and have an original SsangYong front guard which is to be built out of fever glass, and would like to know now if I can easily install and drive, or do I have to have it registered? As already said the vehicle is Baujar 20.06.2000 and falls out of the EC Directive 2005/66/EC, and there is this front guard with many Korandos as standard ex works, so this j How do I have to proceed now? Go to the TÜV and tell the TÜV examiner that the vehicle has already started from the factory or had and still registers it afterwards? I also have a copy of the test report for obtaining the type approval according to § 21 StVZO of the DEKRA and a copy of the approval certificate Part I of a friend who has the same car and where the front protection bar is registered in the letter, in his letter the front protection bar was entered so etragen: “fz. mit frontschutzhägel*”, could this help me if I get the lift for my registered? I also uploaded 2 pictures from the original frontschutzhägel of SsangYong. Hope for an answer from you! MfG Manuel

Hello I play with the thought of buying a used Range Rover of the years 02-03. It would be a 4.4 V8 and it should replace my Tahoe. However I would have a few questions and hope to meet a few Range drivers who could help here. 1. How about the susceptibility of the car there are special weaknesses what does the electronics do on what should be taken care of? 2. Where do you let it wait also at BMW and what are your experiences regarding competes? nz and prices of workshops? Greetings

Hello together! 🙂 I’m still new here and hope you can help me a little bit. I’m currently looking for a suitable off-road car, but I never had to deal with this topic in the past. Well, once is always the first time. 😉 I’m looking for a car for the following applications: – Pull trailer with boat (approx. 2.2t), – Garden and construction work (private) so hanger with material, green cut or similar pulling (max. 1.3t), – Dogs (a gr Oßer trunk would be nice), – rides to the garbage dump (the slopes are sometimes not really nice), – and in the future also rides in the forest to the wood. I would like to be able to travel by car but also quite sometimes longer distances on the highway. Overall I come probably on such 25.000 km year with this car, therefore it should also be equipped accordingly safe. It should be a used car, which I actually buy (no leasing or so) and then also over more I think that the German SUV (X5, ML) is less suitable for this purpose and a G-Class really costs a lot of money. 🙁 I think that I would like to keep up to 3 years, but that you can also get scraps without falling dead … You know what I mean. 😉 Unfortunately I completely miss the overview, which cars are suitable for the application and above all also durable and reliable. I thought so far about cars like the Pajero, Landcruiser or Cherokee. I think that the German SUV (X5, ML) are less suitable for this and a G-Class really costs a lot of money. 🙁 I think that I like this way until 3 0.000,- € could be spent. Do you know advice?

Hello, I bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 2.7 Bj 2002 Limited the day before yesterday, with 228t km, in general a really great car, but I have a few minor problems with it, and wanted to ask if you could give me any tips, (the previous owner I reach only on January 7th, which is until then on vacation), 1. The heating only goes on the driver side, on the passenger side it cools, the Beistzer meant there is a lever above the glove compartment to flip, he has it in the In winter and summer, everything worked wonderfully. Does anyone know who, and can anyone tell me where the lever is? 2. My blinker doesn’t go half the time, think Relai, where exactly does that sit, and is there only one that I do not break down the wrong one (is it everywhere to buy, or is it the sepcial jeep)? 3. Yesterday in the evening when driving home, the control lamp for engine management and transmission did not go off after starting, and then it no longer switches, just think more in the first gear, then drove a few hundred meters, then turned off the car, and rebooted, then drove, then everything was fine, and today in the morning the same, again the lamp did not go out first, then drove quite carefully a few hundred meters, car parked, started, and see as it switches back to normal, and the lamp goes off. I am grateful for every tip, is my first jeep : ) Such a really great car, great for driving, great equipment : ) Greetings and beautiful holidays

Hi together, was today “offroad” 😉 And my driver refused to drive through this wild boar’s chair place … (picture of the place, uphill)

Hello Have a question. I read here in the forum, that if you take an all-wheel car on the lift, and a wheel turns by hand, the other turns in the other direction. Then it would have an open differential. So without blocking effect. There are also cars where in the rear axle a torsenal differential have built in. How the torsen differential works, I know about. Now to my question. Does the wheel also turn in the opposite direction, or does it turn in the same direction? Hope, Someone can help me. Greetings and thanks

Hi guys, I want to buy a Grand Cherokee, which is supposed to be my first off-road car. Up to now I only drove coupes and convertibles, now I decided to buy a off-road car. I like the Grand Cheroe the most. Should be Built:from 94 and definitely the 5.2 V8. I drive about 25,000 km a year (70% highway, 20% highway and 10% city traffic). And once a year I have a stake of 3,000Km NON STOP that I have to drive and return. It is clear to me that I can already imagine that the Grand Cherokee swallows every kind of fuel. What does the Jeep wirklicj consume? I’m not a heater or raser, drive mostly calmly. Sometimes I want to have my spaas too, is already clear to me that it comes to its 20L/100 km. And what do I have to do with a car that is more comfortable with a cross-country car than with a coupe. If I buy a jeep like that? Most of the ones I looked at have driven over 200,000Km, but can’t imagine that a 5.2 V8 engine at 200,000Km is broken. What do you say about it? What are the most vulnerable repairs? (costs?) Which features should I pay attention to? What should I pay for e.g. a Bj.: 95-97 ? Jetz already many thanks for EURE help! MFG Driven Köln

patrol gr 1992 y60 without air conditioning 40-50 C and the ventilation does not want to be correct. I changed both fuses for the motor (under handschuffach), the cables to the motor relocated (were smeared). lueftung does not function at 1,2,3 only at 4 and then I probably fly after a short time through the fuses again. where must I look, what replace / prunes
