    Rover V8 Engine Oil.

    After not using the Disco V8 for a few weeks I found I had one noisy tappet, took about 30 - 40 minutes drive before it went completely quiet.

    Discovery II - Tyre Comparison

    Looking for advice from those with experience of driving with different tyre makes. I currently have some Blizzak Winter Tyres on which are old and not the best on the motorway and have a rumble as they don't balance that well, so once the weather improves I'm going to change them. Standard...
