the 17's are standard on mine, & to be honest, as i said, i'm not too bothered about off-roading, as long as it can cope with a bit of snow & a little mud, that's fine by me:) lattitudes sound best for me......

hiya, if it's creature comforts you want, then have a look for a discovery, they basically do all that a defender will, but with all goodies, you can get disco 2's at a very resonable price now, especially the v8, as the diesel is more sought after, maybe something to consider, good luck with...

i loved the mg, the fact it was a bit impractical for me was'nt the thing that sealed it's fate, i found after my op i could'nt get my comfertable in it, the driving position put too much pressure on my knee:(, but, it was a blessing in disguise as i got my f/l:D, had wanted 1 since i sold my...

i just like to air on the side of caution, i'm one of live's unlucky peep's, bloody know if i did it, i'd have problems lol;):)

when i worked on the spanners many years ago, we always changed filters when fuel was contaminated, petrol in diesel, and vise/versa;)

i see, never watched it, never watched dr who either come to think of it, but i digress:)

o.k, i give up:confused:, what has torchwood got to do with it???

thank's for the feedback:), think i shall go have a look at costco & see what's what!!!, thanks again, martyn:D

ahh, now , the michelin lattitudes was one of the tyres i looked at, how do you find them in general, noise, grip etc??? wondering weather to keep my alloys, just have them refurbed in black/anthrecite & be done with it, still like the idea of new one's, but might be easier on the wallet on the...

hiya, if you have had rear brakes looked at already, it could be a simple case of the left having been over adjusted, it only takes one click too much, also, having just replaced my vcu & bearings, would suggest speaking to bell engiering for bearings etc, regarded on here as the authority on...

know what you mean, but then mine is more for road use than anything else;), so as long as can cope with a bit of mud & snow i'm o.k:)

i had the same thing happen to me many years ago, i had an xr3i back in the day, i used to live in mid wales, after finishing work in the early hours, i drove home, nose of the car was under a shelter ( based in an old railway station;)), got up the next morning, bumper inc no plate, bodykit &...

ahh, iv'e seen the old "light a fire under the tank:eek:" ploy before, also seen fires under the sump to heat up the oil as it was too thick !!! martyn:D

hi rhodie, i did find some michelin, pirelli's, i did a general srarch for 17" a/t's on google, & a few came up:D martyn

hi all, i've been looking at tyres, think they will need replacing in the next 6 months, judging the average price of a 1/2 sensible tyre ('bout £140 a corner:eek:), it dawned on me that it is not much more to buy a new alloy/tyre combo, i was looking at 18/19" rims, & thought i could then save...

in an ideal world, i would have my td4, & a 'fender:), well, i can dream lol:D

it thought they were the same wheelbase???:)

my last car was a 2000 mgf vvc:eek::o:), great car, not practical lol:D

i would'nt go down the x-trail root, looked at them myself, just as many issues as the f/lander, but a damn site more expensive to fix:p!!!! as for me, not had mine long, but i must say i love it:lvheart-beat-019: (vcu changed as a precauction;)) comfy to drive, good on fuel, (td4), & i must...

i ahve heard that people used to put a bit of petrol in diesel, thought it was an lod wives tale, obviously not;), i would have thought changing the fuel filter once the petrol is out would be a good idea?;) martyn
