    Bad news on the veg oil front!

    I was wondering what to do with mine (when I found where I'd hid it after changing my oil a month or so ago). So I think I'll dispose of it gradually, I've been running mine on any old ****e since I put the veg kit in, Soya, corn, rape seed SVO, WVO and in every combination. The old bucket seems...

    Middle exhaust and PTO winch.

    Sadly not Grunt, rear brake drum was contaminated by oil from a perished seal. It was such a small damp patch too, bearly noticable. Still, its back now. I have missed it.... Exhaust is shiney new, gas tight and rattle free. Magic!

    Also consider the increased fuel consumption that using a land rover will add to your monthly fuel bill. 30mpg if its running ok, a lot less if you drive it like a ****. Its a bit of a shock if your used to running a more economical runaround car.
