Give DonBoon his due, the only time the rest of the car driving people of the country or even the world, will start to do owt about the choice of vehicle we can drive is when there is NO choice. If everone had the "Stick your head in the sand" "What difference can we make" mentality then the...

Quote "I have often thought of a unified 4x4 group to collectively challenge the 4x4 misconceptions" This is just what I was getting at but am not as literate as Sir Adrian, why isn’t there such a group, or is there. Can't someone put some figures together to prove that our vehicles of choice...

I am an ordinary fella, who works for a motorcycle race team at the weekends, and drags a £650 shed to the circuit with my White Disco Commercial (VAN) cos I prefer it to sleeping on the floor in a tent, It doesn't realy increase the consumption too much, not to Passenger Jet levels anyway. I...

Cheers big beni, I will look into it, The old gal has started to choke up with black sludge in the inlet manifold so I will do the whole de-cat and EGR thing the week after next, just want to get as much stuff together as possible so that nothing stops the job. Thnx for the numbers. Donboon...

Quote "For someone prepared to build their dream machine from the ground up you need more patience and perhaps a bit more dosh" It's amazing what you can tell about a person for a couple of posts ?? I don't know what you guys do for a living but in my type of job I can't demand a payrise to...

Quote "Put your claim in first, just in case" How am I to do this, And what do I claim for ???? Just don't want to lose the right to use my vehicle, or for it to cost me any more than any car that gives the same emmissions even though they are smaller, as there are lots of anti 4x4 groups...

Hi Guys and Gals, I recently entered into an e-petition via the governments website on the Road pricing issue, and noticed another e-petition that I thought had been forgotten about, or they had come to their senses over. Transport and infrastructure - Open petitions Apparently, the Liberal...

Hi Discomania, I had the same trouble with my 300 about 2 months ago, wouldnt open from the inside or outside, It was getting late so I sprayed loads of WD40 on the lock mechanism and left it for the night, went to it in the morning and it opened. I then set to lubing it properly and I have not...

Quote "I've exchanged my cat for the straight through defender exhaust and told by the L/R garage that MOT's won't be an issue. Hope this helps" Hi Donboon, You don't happen to know the part number of the said item, as I have contacted Famous Four in Louth today and they do a non cat front...

Hi JAC, Thanks for that, I dont want to sound stupid but is the 0.17 figure for a 200 series Disco or a 300 that has been de-cated. I will look the threads up and take a look. Thanks again, Wilbur.

Hi again Guy & Gals, I have read with intrest the posts on the removal of the EGR valve and am going to get round to this soon, as my inlet manifold is thick with black gunge , but wondered if any of you wise folk could tell me if it is correct that a 2.5 Defender 110 front pipe can be used...

Quote "A lot of people say veg oil and mean bio diesel, however veg oil is not good for the engine, in smaller quantities it will just take longer to cause the damage from the deposits." What ‘Deposits’ are you talking about specifically ??? As a person, I do know my Veg Oil...

Hi Adz, I'm affraid there isn't a simple answer to that as it all depends on what type of Parent Veg oil its produced from, IE Soy, Canola, Coconut, Palm Oils etc, etc, If you can find out what the stuff you have is made from you may have a chance but as far as I'm aware there is no Standard for...
