Thanks I will watch out for those pics. Did you do the chassis yourself? What did you treat it with (painted galv?). How much of a bitch was that job, just out of curiosity!! :D

Thanks for those replies. Interesting. I have heard the exact opposite, i.e. that biodiesel is corrosive but WVO is not, IF you can run it (heating etc). I am told that WVO 'cleans' the sludge out which causes blockages etc so when first starting to do it you have to replace fuel pump regularly...

PS I should have added 'veg oil' to the title of this thread, as I am also interested in WVO as an alternative. I am learning slowly, but it appears biodiesel is actually more corrosive than biodiesel (from what I have read anyway). Wondering about the cost of a conversion system (IF TD5 needs...

Great stuff, thanks very much.

Blimey, you did a cracking job of it! I didn't know you could buy the kits, so you're just talking about the top layer of fabric, that sounds better than my double sided sticky tape idea :D Did you remove the headlining out through the boot, or do it in situ? thanks, looked a lovely motor

Hi, may I ask where you got the headlining done? Looks a beautiful job

Would be nice to see some more pics if you have any? Out of interest, what did those mods do for fuel economy (exhaust, deEGR etc)? Any idea what she does now?

Hi, nicely looked after car there. I have never had a FL (Disco currently). Just out of interest, what sort of weight can these tow? Also, what would it get on a motorway run, mid 30s or nearer 40? NOt that it matters, but after driving a disco, nice to know any numbers that come above 26 :D

Howdy Zoners 2004 Discovery TD5. I have a biodiesel processor I was given, a good one, brand new. I have a source for used veg oil (restaurants/chippies). IF I were to do it, it would extremely good grade stuff. Not "hooch". titration test, ph test, dry washed, etc etc. The thing is, the guy...

Thanks very much. Interesting re the fuel. These days with my diesel disco doing low 20s to mid 20s, and the price difference (And lack of insanity over diesel at the pumps), I am sorely tempted to pull the plug and go petrol, or maybe even consider LPG although that seems to be a fad which has...

Hiya,. what does she do on MPG? What's the chassis like please?

Thanks Nodge. In that case I will grab the spacers and fit those!

Hi Andrew, yes the wheel is locating properly. That pic was taken while fitting the first time. All studs are fully screwed in now and all looks well. I am just concerned with those spokes touching the edge of the drum.

Thanks,. but confused, why don't you think I want to do that? The rest of your post sounds like you're saying I do need to?! I should have said, it's a 2004 FL1 we have. And yes they definitely fit over the calipers, we are driving the car around the fields. WE only used it for off road use but...

Interesting, thanks. better get some spacers then maybe

I bought some FL1 wheels a while back, the guy wasn't sure which model he had them on but pretty sure he had them on FL1, and had some spacers to use on his FL2 later. I bought the wheels but didn't get the spacers, wondering if I need them. When we fitted them, the inside of the spokes make...

Ha, then I am weird too. I like double declutching too but my wife and son don't :D. Besides, I need it to drive nice so the vehicle is saleable. I can't spend what I am spending without knowing I could recoup money in the coming govt-induced economic collapse if I need to sell (and I may) ...

Thanks as always Stan. "not meaning to offend but...." - You know me better than that. I don't take offence at all, ever, unless someone is clearly trying to do so. Then it's popcorn time. :D Yep changed the oil. Twice, proper stuff (MTF 94/92 - can't remember which but it was the right one!)...

Thanks Stan. too much money unfortunately. I also am not that impressed with Ashcroft gearbox work, long story, but I'd basically just like a genuine one from a used vehicle. If I can find one of course!

Anyone know where I can get a decent used manual gearbox? Mine is notchy as hell, sometimes won't go into gear. It's definitely the gearbox. Wondering where a replacement can be got from? I think mine was an Ashcroft one (looks it) so looking for a genuine one which has a smooth change. Trouble...
