    Makes the girlfriends bum wiggle!

    Might be an idea to do a compression test then. It's possible that the head gasket has blown between cylinders 2 and 3.

    Try harder :) We're waiting. Failing that just do a re-enactment for us in the living room:D Are the 2 cylinders not firing beside each other?

    Makes the girlfriends bum wiggle!

    Next step post some photos and a vid of the truck cranking over. Its important that we hear the engine too and, in passing mild interest, see your girlfriend's bum wiggling of course. Problems like this can be a long and slow process, but we'll get there in the end I'm sure.;)

    Advice needed on LR purchase please

    Qashqai - propping up Nissan sales I hear and based on the Nissan X-crement 2. Good car. Anyhoo - there's loads of early Disco 2's about in your price range - for what you want it for that might fit the bill very well.

    Difference between Voguse sea and lse

    Yes - exactly.:) All the additional length is in the centre section of the chassis, to improve rear leg room and door opening. Departure angle is identical, as is approach. Ramp break-over angle is reduced. 4.2 sounds nice - but the performance is no different to the 3.9. They're a fairly...

    Difference between Voguse sea and lse

    err...that would be 8". RRFan -RRNumpty more like.;) :D :D Now there's another thing - LSE's dint fit in domestic garages, so most will have spent most of their life exposed to the elements.

    Difference between Voguse sea and lse

    All LSE has air susp as std. An extra 8" wheelbase - all in the back doors. 5 spoke alloys. LSE weights 300lb more than a 100" wheelbase - so performance is the same and you'll lose 2mpg over a std SE, some engine parts are rare and the air suspension was never a strong point. I'd leave the...

    Fun day out in North Wales!

    Pretty sure its in the NW part of grid square SN 7961 just by one of the upper river crossings, where the ground is soft either side. On the 1:25k map its marked as a marsh/bog too. The road has sunk a few feet down over the ages and there is a large cut up section of ground to the south where...

    Fun day out in North Wales!

    Strata Florida, which is regularly used by the guided groups (and where I have seen a group of up to 17 on 10th Nov last year), has a floating road over the peat and boggy bits. Where large groups meet the opportunity to make a low impact diversion is diminished - and the sides of the track...

    Fun day out in North Wales!

    When one group of 12 meets another group of 12 on a single track lane, there can be one hell of a mess off the track as they try to pass each other.

    diff between disco and deepender

    Sometimes. Some early One Tens had 1.6:1, one Ninety variant had a 1.2 factory jobbie. Disco MPi had a 1.4 doodah. Very simplistically the Disco was based on a late 80's Rangie. and I spose the Defendier was based on an early 80's Rangie with Series 3 bits bolted on - what didn't fit...
