That's a shame. Not many of them about in the first place! It underwent some major restoration work in the late 90's have a completely rebuilt engine, refabricated body parts and some mother of all 2mm sills attatched to it! I'd have thought it would have made it a bit longer! Still, as you say...

We used to have a R/R Monteverdi in our family (XVC 935X). Does anyone know of it these days? Last I saw (probably 7 years ago) someone had taken the original rostyles off and it was running 8 spokes:der: . Would love to know if it is still about!

Do they exist? I've spent a couple of weeks scouring Autotrader and snotbay to no real joy. I'm looking for a 300TDi Auto and there are none! Go North of Manchester and they can't give them away! The problem I have is I'd be nothing short of an idiot to buy on spec so I think I'll be waiting a...

I might be wrong but I seem to remember using the switched live feed from the ignition powering a 30A relay with a live feed from the fuse box. This then gives you a reliable, safe and strong auxillary feed!

Yes, just prise it off carefully. Owing to the fact it is made of some weak eggshell it will probably break but at least it'll satisfy your curiosity. In the unlikely event you do actually find the plugs for the switches, you'll have to buy a new fascia plate and relevant switches. Once this...

Not tried NFU! Hmm, here we go again lol.

I know it is probably irrelevant to this thread but... If I'm not wrong, isn't WD40 a degreasing agent? Thus it would wash out the maufacturers grease from bearings and alike?

I'll get on with finding a quote then. If it needs a decent alarm throwing at it then so be it! Cheers again for all your opinions :)

I'm led to believe the increased premium was due to the fact I was looking at a Pajero and the cost of parts are greater. God I can feel the shower of kicks for saying Pajero! Anyhow, I am also led to believe that exported vehicles are not fitted with adequate security for the UK market as Tokyo...

:O I saw it first!

Now I'm going to sleep happier. We get about 200 miles form teh 60 litre tank on our car and I'm fed up with hopping about on petrol forecourts and despising the car it's going in lol. I'm REALLY enthusiastic about it all at the mo. I was quite keen on LPG but wasted loads of fuel just listening...

Fuel economy... will it better our Vectra with 18mpg? I have high hopes of getting into the middle twenties. I am always hopeful lol. Has to ba an auto I'm afraid!

Cheers for the input. I have posted a similar topic on other, inferior Discovery sites and got a whole one reply. The massive other advice was "Google it." Wow, how do you think I found the forums in the first place? Duh! Anyhow. Now I am a devotee to LZ and looking for a 300TDi ES Auto. Nothing...

Cheers mate.

Crap question but what's the fuel tank capacity on a 300 TDi? Cheers :)

Funny you should mention that. I'm going to have a look about for insurance quotes when I can get some details for an import as a while ago I was thinking about an import vehicle but was quickly put off by the hyped insurance premiums.

Sorry, I don't.

So I get to increase my tool collection, get a fun car and have an opportunity to spend hung over sundays under a disco... I can't see the fault with any of that.

LOL. Have you ever been to Torbay? You'd do well to get to 30 round here. Bloody tourists and wombles everwhere dithering about. One of the reasons for an auto, to save having a massive clutch leg.

Sorry for the delay in replying, had to clear up where the world just dropped out of my arse when I thought the wife had seen this post! I have to say, I've given it a lot of thought and consideration. We have only covered 6000 miles odd since May 07 and our current heap of tripe is pulling...
