Bloody ell. I think i better get a disco, cos i just calculated my fuel consumption around town at 12.8 mpg. Thats bad, even for a 17 yr old 2.5DT 90 with a heavy footed driver. on the open road it'll do 25-30mpg, but thats at a near constant 50mph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i bought a box and new drop arm which came to £99. i got it from paddocks so hopefully its been done properly. there was a £100 surchange, returnable when i send them the old one, ax well as thirty something quid of VAT. The company refused my resignation, and transferred me to the...

AFAIK the free retest has to be within 24hrs of the test. Summat to do wiv the computer system they all use. I only got it pre-tested as I am going back to sea next week, before the test is due. I haven't had the landy long and wanted to make sure it'd pass as I would be away, and the...

a long shot, but it may be a brake binding. check the temperature of the front discs or rear drums after taking it for a run. if one is abnormally hot, then theres the problem. Crunchy gear change??? are you new to LRs??? the boxes don't like to be rushed. you can get some different oil that is...

Yo.

aye i've seen some pretty amusingly dense ones while looking through past threads for info etc. What about a poll for the worst ones so far???
