    Oops, petrol in diesel, how much can I get away with - 200tdi

    I haven't got it to hand to check the ratios, but the Unimog 406 manual has a table of petrol:diesel ratios for use where winter blends of diesel were unavailable. I might check later if I remember.

    Simple leaf spring question

    Mine didn't have any, though I added one where one of my chassis mounts looked as though it could do with the force from the nut being spread a little more as there was a hexagonal indentation.

    Parabolic springs query

    I bought a pair of Britpart 11 leaf (non-parabolic) that didn't look handed as the camber was the same on both sides. I stuck them on, and when I came off the stands the back end was suddenly level where I'd always had a lean, and I had some good clearance under the mudflaps for a change. After...
