Err.. it's actually bolted to the bonnet so it can't jump around.

I once had a 110 19J with a stupid great roof rack on it. Taking it off resulted in a 10mph increase in top end and about 10% better fuel consumption.

What's wrong with on the bonnet? Or are you all shortarses who can't see where they're going with it on there?

Have you changed the fuel filter lately?

Sadly the dog in my avatar is no longer with us. I'll have to change it. Maybe not though he was a good un.

I haven't posted on here since june 2011 but I've kept popping in from time to time. I'm finding meself having a read a bit more often now and who know's I might even post something. I've just worked out that I've owned five Landies including my current one since I last posted, plus a miserable...

TDI every time it's a no brainer. Reliable, cheap to buyand run on veg oil without any daft unnecessary conversions.

It is not true that every landy on ebay is rotten. You still have to go and give it the once over just like you would if it was on a dealer's yard or some bloke's drive with a for sale sign in the window. If you buy blind off ebay you could well get a surprise as there are some dodgy people out...

Asda have got 1 litre bottles of rape for a quid round here.

Does it matter?

I didn't think the 200 had the fusible links.

None of this matters. It's the rust that matters. The rust.

Or in fact don't fit a britpart lift pump whatever fuel you're using.

For startes most "classic" insurers don't want to know young or inexperienced drivers so don't let that influence your decision. I would still go for the 2a though due to the simplicity of the thing, the cheap parts, and the enormous satisfaction you'll get when it's done. However if driving any...

Why do ads on autotrader almost never mention MOT's?

I can't see how a few missing bolts there is going to cause an oil leak. More likely your rear crank seal will seep and oil will drip out of the wading plug hole which unless it's a big leak isn't a problem either.

Bottoms brand new from paddocks are about 60 quid.

You could save more than 7.96 quid on a tankful just by taking your right boot off the pedal a bit. In my book if there's a decent saving to be made it's worth it but for a few pennies a litre it ain't worth the bother.

I've been using veg oil in various landies for several years. Have run 100% in 200tdi's with no problems in the warmer months. 80% in the winter. The 300 tdi I have now feels like it has a little bit more pull in it using veg oil. I've never noticed any difference mpg wise but at a saving of...

Biggest pain in the arse with supermarket stuff is getting rid of all the bottles:D
