No, you not only bothered to note things which concern you directly...being myopic isn't my problem nor do i give a damn, so don't you or the 1% of bio fuel users palm it off to me and try and make me the scape-goat. I'm happy for you to use the term so long as you admit you're povo pikeys. I...

Mate, it was never my intention to start an arguement ok. I put forward my angle on things from our end of the globe, and that's it...I don't care how things are done your end or whatever. There seem to be too many fanatics chipping in to this discussion to make it prodcuctive, so am not...

Well thanks for that...it wasn't a personal dig at you mate, just making a point to others ok mate. I wasn't playing personal with you, n you should be smart enough to realise that. Look I realise there are some financial gains from doing what you lot do, but given the minimal distances...

Well to use the same condescending tone, then yes I feel that given the ****-all distances you do compared to us, then yes you really do the equivalent to the shops n back. Your several hour delay for a retort was noted. ;) We can fit in 7-8 times of France, which can fit in 5 times you...

Thanks for the info, but meh...each to their own for savings. I'll find better ways to save $'s if I ever need to. :p Petrol and diesel prices are up there, but defo still manageable in Europe. Running my Citroen XM? (ie I don't care/know) 1.9 diesel POS in France which I bought off my...

Ok, I've already got a solid idea of what to do to my Disco 1 for an overseas expedition (Darwin in Australia, and onto to Paris in France)... What kinds of things would you recommend? I'm interested because the least-likely suggestions are often the best! :D Enlighten by all means! :D

At risk of getting flamed, insurance and rego costs are nigh on identical to here, although fuel is a tad higher your end. How does running one of the most economical 4x4s and a tiny 2lt Mondeo become a running issue? They're both exceptional vehicles, which are miserly on juice, so where's...

Mate, I'm not buying into your bad day and having an answer for everything... If you like using it and it suits your needs, then do it and stop trying to start me ffs! Unlike you, I'm doing the distance equivalent of London to Moscow distance wise in a few weeks time, and in about a years...

You're welcome to continue using it mate, that's your thing. :) I would only use it as a last resort, that's all. I know that on the upcoming 3500klm drive up north in a few weeks time, I'll be using proper diesel. ;)

Cheers for the advice mate, but as a former BMW and Jaguar mechanic (or as the ****ers behind a desk called us, 'technicians'), having seen how things are over your end of the world and all recently, being sympathetic to things, etc, I'm just stating my opinion which I'm entitled to. No need to...

Excuse me for being able to afford proper fuel mate. :p I'd prefer to err on the side of caution and use what's recommended, rather than skimp on a few cents and risk raping certain components. I understand that the distances are FAR less than what we need to travel, but cannot understand why...

Sorry, but running your rig on veggie oil would render you the biggest tight-arse I can think of...even more than the Mazda 121 owner with LPG I saw at the servo earlier...1.2lt engine on gas is pretty hard to top for that award! :p Just put in the fluids it's designed for and harden up about...

Just an added thought to the Mods...could this thread please be moved to the 'Discovery' section and renamed to 'Disco 1 300tdi Tourer Build-Up'??? It's gone well past an intro and is destined to be quite an epic write-up...possibly as an overseas-expedition tourer. ;)

I've been inundated with 18-hour work days, and the weather's been pretty sucky all last week, so there's not much to show for my efforts lately. Yesterday was perfect for going nuts on the Disco, but had to go to a function. :S In the quiet moments, I've been measuring up the tailgate area...

Close, but not quite...that's the 8" baby brother of the BUS25, which is 10". Don't know what these guys are like to deal with, but found this on Google. :) Focal Access Bus25 under seat active subwoofer. Get Focal Access Bus25 from Car Audio Centre

You could easily fit one to the tailgate with a bit of ingenuity, or under the front passenger seat, or even remove one of the flip-down seats (how often do you really need 7 seats?). Well worth thinking about anyway. :p Thanks for the link btw. Focal's a French company, so I would expect...

Easiest way would have been to buy one of these puppies...a Focal BUS-25 amp & 10" sub all-in-one unit. It takes no space, spanks harder than an angry mistress, n the wiring was laughably easy to hook up. Best purchase on the Landy so far, I HIGHLY recommend it. ;)

I've had a similar thing spring up since having the ball-joints done on mine. Braking from a low speed and turning into a sharp corner slowly, an occassional grinding sensation is transmitted from the front wheels. It turns out the tard who did the ball-joints and a heap of other work (for...

The past few days have been spent doing some prep & painting on the house, so no love for the Landy. :( My mate who's got my amp atm hasn't had time to remove it from his Patrol yet, but I'll be picking it up from him this weekend, and fitting it then. My diff-breathers finally arrived...

No lads, you're doing it all wrong! :p Here's what you'd want: YouTube- Rip Saw - Tracked ATV YouTube- Ripsaw tank YouTube- Ripsaw MS1
