    Broquet Fuel Catalyst

    I did as much as I could to ensure consistency - same time of day, same weather, same pump on the tesco station on the reading/peppard road. i waited till bubbles dispersed and eyeballed the same fill level. I have now had 3 tank fills and the improvement is consistent. scoff if you like...

    Broquet Fuel Catalyst

    same routine use of vehicle, same speeds, same roads (i keep to limit - had 2 speed tickets on the usual morning run), no oil changes etc etc - adding a broquet is the only change to the vehicle. i know there are loads of detractors out there, but not one i can see who has actually tried...

    Silicone Hose for 300tdi Intercooler

    Hi experts I'm looking at silicone hose kits for my 1995 defender 300tdi intercooler. they all seem to be either around £40-46, or £65-70 - the only difference that i can see is that the expensive ones have a fluorosilicone lining, and the retailers of the cheaper ones can't confirm wether...

    Broquet Fuel Catalyst

    I've tried the broquet and after 3 tanks worth of diesel with no change to type or style of drving and no other changes to the vehicle I have increased mpg from 26.3 to 28.7, that's just over 9%.

    Broquet Fuel Catalyst

    I agree, the last DTI test was 1992 (I have a copy of the lab report I found in my research). It would lay lots of comment to rest if they invested in more tests. However, all I can say is on my first tank of fuel I have seen an improvement in mpg; and the only thing that has changed was...

    Broquet Fuel Catalyst

    I tried a broquet fuel catalyst out of curiosity since during extensive research I found the original DTI test report, I found lots of reports of improvements from users, and lots of anti comments (but none from anyone who had actually tried one) After my first tank of diesel in my 110...

    Broquet Fuel Catalyst

    has anyone got a Broquet fuel catalyst in their tank? they say I should get (conservatively) 6-8% more mpg in my 110 300tdi with one fitted. what are people's experience --especially 300tdi owners?

    Recommended Tyres for a 110

    Looking at responses on this and other similar sites it appears that BFG AT is mentioned (positively) most often (given my research so far!) and General Grabbers next (although many posts dont specify AT2 or TR) Next question is which size of tyre - width and aspect ratio? are these tubeless -...

    Recommended Tyres for a 110

    I'm sure there's a thread somewhere to answer my question can anyone refer me? my question is what tyres do people recommend for a 110 Defender - 75% road use, remainder 'light off road' - fields (often boggy with our weather) but not 'serious off roading/looking for trouble' I often tow a...

    Overland Trailer - Sankey Based

    maggiolinas are 20% if you look on ebay internationally - even with UK shipping from this italian dealer they are 600-900 quid cheaper than buying in UK (I know as I have a quote!).

    Defender Military Bumper

    do they have a slot for tow pin front centre? My old 90 had a military bumper and I found it very useful to use the slot to push and position heavy trailers (I have an adapter that connects the tow pin to the eye of a sankey trailer.)

    Bumper electric winch or Tirfor hand winch?

    I want to be able to self recover my 'new' defender 110 300tdi (with came with a winch bumper but no winch) and am considering what to buy. It seems to me that in many situations it's better to come back out of what you drove into - in which case a front-mounted winch is n't much use. On...
