You are correct JW, funny thing is every one gets into their own favourite 'brew' that works for them... all of which get somewhere near the same result. It's amazing what you can make good fuel out of! In the summer I use chip fat (palm oil) which arrives in a semi solid state, but it makes...

This is true for many... however in my experience, it takes up all and any space you do set asside for it.. lol but if you've got say a 6x4 shed with a bit of power to it... you can make it.

Make your own... I've done it for 3 years...

Ruby has 2 little vents comming from under the cubby box into the real seat area... I don't know how warm it gets inthe back...(frigging cold up front!) but could you not source the same parts from a breakers and fit in your 110?

I know nothing of the price of petrol or diesel! :lol:

Ruby takes an age to warm up... get the V8

oooh they look good... one of those things you know you will need one day but won't buy until something breaks when you need it not too the most. lol really useful to know though ... thanks.

Some of the difference could be down to driving styles too... when K drives Ruby, she gets less mpg than I do, same car driven differently... plus with a V8 a few extra kick downs will soon drink some jiuce!

300 has EGR which it is better off without, 300 has rubber doughnut on prop which wears out... 200 has neither of these... 200 is less err complicated, older and cheaper? some parts on the 200 are getting harder to find (like the exhaust front pipe I've just won on ebay for £25... yippee) but...

That covers just about every disco over 15 years old! what ever happened to 'buyer beware'? honestly, who hasn't at some time bought something they wished they hadn't. If anyone is going to buy something as big/costly as a car without knowing what they are looking at or taking someone who...

You know.. I was thinking last night.. do a reverse tap and tighten a bolt into it and keep turning the plug out scenario! but wasn't sure if that stuff existed.

Yea, mine goes in at about 46-48 mph. feels like a fifth... but not really.

Sorry to hear that... will keep 'em peeled in Mansfield area!

He searching for lift kits!

It won't make ya GB change up to 5th! lol Lifts can cause as many probs as they solve (if any) ... may be better spending money on a set of good off road tyres! have a search for lift kits on here... will be loads of advice.

Check gearbox oil... (it's the dip stick on the drivers side by the windscreen) engine at normal temp, handbrake on and in drive... check fluid level on dip stick... only need 250ml from min to max. Do not overfil!

try disconnecting the wires at the screen that should stop the drain... but maybe there is a short between the heater live and another live? would explain why you have live with switch disconnected!

Just seen this fix on another site... link seems to be much simpler than head removal!

take filter off and empty contents into plastic jug... warm (not boil) jug contents in microwave, refill filter, gently shake for a few minutes... empty and repeat a few times, replace filter... prime and off you go.... I sometimes have same trouble and have got away with just shaking and...

I know many who put up to 10% in their biodiesel, so I would imagine it'll be ok in normal derv... although your diesel should be ok even in the low temps we've been experiencing lately... how cold do you want it to go? a work collegue was in the army and tells me they put kerosene in when in...
