searched for a nice D3 on autotrader/ebay/gumtree as now in a place to buy one... Realised that no such thing exists only piles of poo for extortionate prices with mot advisory lists as long as your arm by dealers who want top dollar for crap or by the great unwashed who think the shiney body...

This is what annoys me about the whole environment thing, they just expect car owners to scrap their older vehicle and put £20k+ on a new electric/hybrid vehicle on Tick like its nothing with maybe a small grant from the government to sweeten the deal Someone raised it recently on R4 about...

Which s what im saying a 5 mile run once warm to clear its throat won't harm an old td5, and i dont advocate not using one where you've got the facilities to do so and would not advocate not using one do do the standard 12500 miles a year in you have a point regarding race engines rebuild...

Massively different ,but most of the early cars didn't have oil filters either so this massively reduced engine life as oil filters weren't invented until 1923 in the form we know now And as air filters in the form we know now weren't invented until the 1960's so wear and tear cant be...

What I'm getting at is for the amount of time the OP would run it to clear his emissions up it wont do the car any harm, I'm aware of the filter out trick and the italian tune up and many others beside that I've acquired of the years on the spanners, I dont advocate not using a filter where the...

rule of thumb when changing wheels if for every inch in diameter you go up or down you need to go up or down a profile also to keep the rolling radius the same so in your case to keep the speedo reading the same you'd probably need a 65 profile than a 70 may be worth looking at what LR fitted...

rust is starting to appear on rear arches on the ones ive looked at up to and including 60 plate ones at dealers are still asking top prices for them so check carefully, my next door neighbour has just bought an 58 plate hse from a local dealer in matlock that looks good from a distance but has...
