No - spent a fortune on doing it right (oops that will hurt the numbers - best forget that). Twin tanked so starts on diesel and only goes on SVO when hot, purge at the end. Bit more to go wrong - leccy fuel pumps etc but all is good. Heres the thread of the work done...

Also for the sake of accuracy I only now do distance driving in her and pretty gently - if I took ahalf the gear off that I have added over the years and road biased tyres I figure she could average on diesel over 30 mpg all year round but MTs, light bars, roof racks and a snorkel do not help.

Its new vegetable oil from Tescos and the like, usually rapeseed or sunflower.

it has the original bonnet lock on the front panel! looks like a c reg to me,apart from the doors,roof,steering wheel,dash,engine, ............................ Dont forget the disc braked rear axle, head lining, front wings... I could go on but wont. To the less gullible lock up yer...

Hmm He will need reciepts for every detail of a 300TDi then and from what I can see thats everything. He will also need to explain why it also looks like its never been apart? Folk on here who wonder why their trucks go missing so regularly only to come back on long departed early eighties...

Maths is OK - Daisy does 28mpg in the winter and given I pay less than 60% of the cost using svo my diesel equivalent is a tad over 50mpg.

Sean You would get a very low mark for that piece and fail the exam paper. Could the rest of the class apply themselves a little more, all the clues are there.

I am running 95% svo at the moment at around 80p a litre. Compared to diesel I get over 50mpg out of a loaded 110 - not too shabby eh?

Please discuss paying close attention to the age and specification. Points will be awarded for knowledge of Defender production changes, colour charts and an awareness of the rate of disappearance of Defenders and their subsequent uses. Your time starts now...

Frankly having a 90 as a camper is silly. 110 is OK but not sticking to 'bed' area 12" below the roof. Heres one I made earlier..... The old fridge has gone and in its place a smaller (and vastly better) compressor version All fully insulated with three layers of...

I have never met an oil filter that will not unscrew - kind of obvious really as they are full of oil so cannot seize on no matter how cruddy externally. Sounds like you were tightening up. Without being harsh spilling engine oil out on the road and being a cyclist is wrong and lazy. Lots...

Use the 'search' function. Its all been covered ...to death.

Very good for sound actually, coupled with a pair of enclosed speakers and directional tweeters fitted just behind the seats. With a defender though you need to also put in masses of soundproofing or its all pretty pointless.

Having driven a good few of the breed thats my experience mid 20's for short trips/towing etc to 32mpg for a nice gentle run - 110 's. 90's are better and both the above are IMV pretty good for what you are pushing around. My only Landrover will when the MT's need changing get fitted with...

Now dont go using maths, physics and logic on here............ Everyone knows Defenders will do 40mpg if tuned and driven swiftly. Landrover engineers and marketing deliberately undersold the consumption figures of the defender. It was to make peeps feel good about the car when otherwise they...

It will be ringed within a month if you sell with V5. Guaranteed - I know of two vehicles that were sold in the same way and have come back to life ringed.

Frankly KBX grilles remind me of Austin Rover and there refresh of the Morris Marina / Ital and Princess / Ambassador models. Chuck a tacky plastic grille on the front and some new light clusters on the rear and there we have ........ Keep the original look or upgrade like so.........

Funny that, I would pay to have it removed. The day I would want to be associated with that bunch is the day I reach for the revolver.
