Hondamad1988

After hours of research and lots of different information, I've found the exact specification of the landrover MTF on CRXUK, which is supposed to be identical to Honda MTF and the Halfords 75w-80 is the same GL-4 spec as Land rover MTF. Also from what I've read 75w-80 is the same thickness and viscosity as a 10-40 engine oil once you have taken into account the SAE conversion rates, the difference being that the gear oil have extra additives to protect the metals in the gearbox. I will post the Landrover MTF specs on a seperate page later, might be usefull to someone

Hi There, Got myself in a bit of a pickle, where changing the clutch on my 1999 1.6 D16b2 Aerodeck tomorrow. Got everything ready, tools, new clutch, axle stands, car jack etc etc etc. Gone to grab my 5 litre bottle of Landrover MTF and can't find it anywhere! The only place open tomorrow to buy oil will be Halfords, but what grade oil do I go for???? They have Halfords 75/80 multi grade gear oil, Comma MT75 which meets ford standards, Comma SX75w/90 semi synthetic, Castrol Fully synthetic 75w-90, Castrol driveline syntrax Universal 75w-90 fully synthetic There's also a Castrol 80w-90 for to lubricate spur and helical gears, and a Castrol 80-90 recommended in hypoid differentials. Which one do I buy???? Help would be really great, only got a few hours to find some in morning. Cheers, Chris

Cheers guys, After getting under car, realised it only has one sensor (precat). Found a cheap site: Wanapart.co.uk and bought universal sensor which came with heat rap wires, a new cat, and cat fitting kit. Fitted them yesterday, will have to se what mot man says later in week. A freind also said it may be the timing, if it fails again might just as garage to adjust timing for me.

Hi all, Need a bit of advice, for starters the cars a 1999 D16b2 1.6 non vtec Aerodeck. I took it for Mot yesterday and it failed on the emissions test. It failed on: -Carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive -hydrocarbon content after 2nd idle excessive The Mot guys said it was miles out, but wasnt anymore descriptive than that. Is this more likely to be the Lambda sensor or the Cat? Also Ive seen two different lambda sensors for sale, a Pre-cat and a Post-cat sensor, so i presume the car has two sensors? one before and one after the cat? if so is it worth changing both?
