    Dead man walking How do you get oil of drive?

    brake cleaner will break it up and then a good wash or two with hot water with a good handful of washing powder works well. Gets rid of the smell too

    lpg or diesel

    I get about 19mpg on the motorway towing with my V8 Auto. You need to do your sums really to make up your mind on V8 or V8LPG or Oil burner. V8 are cheaper than a TD5 to buy, if you can get an LPG fitted V8 for similar money then great. I went std V8 having done my sums it would work out...

    Abmulance conversion?

    if you're after caravan interiors then keep an eye on the banger racing websites for a caravan meet. They have to strip them out, windows and everything before they can race. Went to one some months back and all the racers just dumped the stuff in a big pile along with the wrecked caravans at...

    that can't be right - RRC on a 51 plate?

    Both plates matched and I made a real conscious effort to make sure I was right.. 3 options I guess 1. It really was an old stock unregistered vehicle - but I doubt it 2. They were taking a chance on dodgy plates 3. Someone had stuck a RRC body on some other chassis wish I'd taken...

    that can't be right - RRC on a 51 plate?

    Driving back across A14 yesterday, on way home from Crufts, and spotted the outline of a RRC dragging a trailer behind it (tallish trailer couldn't see back of car). Noted the number plate LF51 *** and thought to myself he must have borrowed the trailer from a mate, pulled alongside and noticed...

    One headlight dimmer than other

    Dont discount it being the actual bulb. I had the same on my Vauxhall Zafira for it's MOT. Checked wiring, removed and refitted bulb all to no avail. Stuck a new bulb in (I had one in the shed) and hey presto, 2 bright lights. When i compared the old buld to a new one it was noticably darker...

    Bargain wheel and tyre combo

    Not for me as have Disco but looks like a good deal did a quick check and you'd be hard pushed to get the 4 tyres for that price, let alone with a set of LR supplied alloys too Duckworth Land Rover Wheel and Tyre Packages

    can you use old engine oil as fuel?

    My dad used to mix it 50/50 with creosote for the fences, marvellous mixture, lasts years
  18. Lotsaspots

    How much would you pay-

    visited a local independent last week (Mister 4x4, just outside Hitchin) to discuss the upcoming MOT (April) and to get him to give the Disco a good lookover before I start towing the caravan about this year...£45/hr £45 MOT, thought that seemed reasonable..
