When a student I used to do van driving in the long vac. Once delivered wine to a really posh Chinese restaurant in Leicester Square, I saw into the kitchen. There was a big fish, lying on the floor. The cooks would just cut a piece off it and...

So good, unplugged an orl!:):):)

I worked in Indian restaurants & when peeps ask for a vindaloo they'd make them so hot that we'd all watch through the portholes to see them sweating oh how we laughed. 🤣 🤣

Steady on! You'll have Stanley Sir! getting friction burns on his chode.

So you want to spend £2-5k on a D3, use it as a daily, take it green-laning, but not spend lots on maintenance and repairs? Good luck! You might get lucky. You need to find one that has been loved but is still cheap(?), so as @lynall says, I’d...

For the first 8 years all repairs done on the drive Now have access to a pit, which makes it easier, but still could be done on the driveway Susp failts, replace dessicant in compressor a few years back, currently front bags drop overnight and...

In general your question has been answered but go ahead and prove us all wrong. £7 code reader probably won't cut it in proper diagnosis. Just buy one if you want one and let us know how it goes. How much is the insurance for you?

Evening Problem with the old truck today Switched all the switches the right way, flicked the glow plugs on and waited. Then switched my secret switch on and turned the key, nowt, zilch not a flicker. Commenced to check battery connections...

Don't tell anyone, as mentioned its a bolt on part, like an axle, although it's a large part.
