    Oil

    Had an interesting discussion about engine oil a little while back with some very experienced LC enthusiasts. The consensus was to ignore the recommended 5w30 for the 150 series 1KD (98,000 miles) and use 10w40 instead for better protection and longevity. Thoughts?

    Rather embarrassingly, I’ve just discovered I have no jack in my recently acquired 150! I believe it should have a bottle jack located in the passenger side cubby hole in the boot area? Any recommendations for an alternative or should I source an original of ebay or similar?
