I'm not sure that's right, just because I use veg oil doesn't mean I can I my drive 2500 miles a year. And the mot tester doesn't ask about fuel. As far as I'm aware you need to keep a log with receipts and mileage you use eith veg oil. But obviously short of someone coming and che king...

Might be worth checking all the turbo/intercooler pipes, if ones collapsed or got a hole it could make it a bit sluggish. I've got a red one and that goes up hills fine, even with over 2 tons on the back.

That makes sense then, I've got my no claims on the disco, as the insurance says it makes no difference on a classic car policy.

You should be able to get a decent 300 for £1k, my newest one was £1k and has very few problems. Just make sure you check the usual spots for rust and you should be fine. Whatever you decide I would change all fluids and filters straight away regardless of whether the seller said it has just...

Bloody hell, who are you with? I've had licence 5 years also 22 but I'm paying less than £300

I don't know whether having parents as named drivers actually helps any more, I don't have any on the policy. I had a corsa my first year and loved it actually, but wouldn't change back for all the money in the world, and to be honest I recon insurance wouldn't be much cheaper. Best bet is to...

Yer I'm paying not a lot for my insurance, couldn't tell you how much as I can't remember but it's sub £300. I doubt being 22 would make much difference but you could always do a quote as if you are and see if there is a difference.

I'm 22 and had a disco since 18 and have always been with either Adrian flux or their sister company flux direct, they've always seemed to be the best price for me. £1500 sounds like a fair price if you are only just passing your test, my first year was £1500 as a named driver with 1 years no...

Disconnected the battery for a couple of hours, still nothing. They key doesn't seem to move anything when it turns towards unlock if that makes sense just seems to turn freely Checked the fuses but not the relays. Even disconnected ecu. I'm stumped.

Hi, I'm having a problem with my dads freelander, he got in it yesterday all the doors locked and the alarm started. He can't unlock any doors or open any electric windows. Luckily his back windows are windy but for a 67 year old it took some climbing out with the horn blasting. Have tried...

I would have said UJ's or prop related too, you need to check ASAP as it will probably get worse and worse until it goes bang.

No only 3 live wires when switch on, you earth the lamps to the light bar

I believe when a bulb blows the full beam light on the dash is illuminated dimly to let you know, well it always seems to happen to me, also when one bulb goes mine always seems to then have the other bulb brighter than normal, probably something to do with voltage or something. Never had them...

I'm not sure changing the relay will help, surely the lack of bulbs is acting like a blown bulb thus making it flash twice as fast. I think you need to wire a resistor in place of the bulbs to counteract then you should be fine with the relay you have.

I had a similar problem for a long time on my 200 as I think about it, and if I remember correctly it was the connection to the back of the starter that wasn't right. Might be worth checking that too.
