:(The wife's Disco 2('04 TD5) is a non-starter. I was in a hurry yesterday, started it, reversed quickly and stalled it after about 10- yards. Since then it won't start with the following christmas lights whilst turning it over. - self levelling yellow - "off-road" light - after a couple of...

This one might work... YouTube - You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!

Yep. I have gone the Armstrong route. Shocks all round, two turret rings and splashed out on poly mounts. Total bill £57.84* inc VAT and delivery. That's what I love about land rovers.:D (*compare that to a new set of spark plugs I had to buy for a Mazda RX-8 last year - £177 from stealer):(

Good answer. Cheap is good!

One of my rear shocks is corroded and one of my fronts had a slight leak. MOT is coming up, so I need to replace them. It's a 90 200tdi which I use mainly on the road. It gets a little off road on our own fields when it is needed. We also have a terrible track which gives the suspension a...

Illegal unfortunately. I have read (maybe on here?) that if you were dipped and caught they would charge you back duty for all the fuel you might have used for the length of time you had the car. They take the mileages from MOTs and use the manufacturers fuel consumption figures to estimate...

Picking up 780 litres of waste oil for £130 tomorrow. Let's hope it works!

OK. It looks like methane is taxable as a 'natural road fuel gas': HM Revenue & Customs The tariff for 2007 is shown here: HM Revenue & Customs I am now going for a lie down in a dark room with a wet flannel on my head:rofl:

:doh: You said methane didn't you

I just had an exciting rummage through the HMRC site. The underlying principle seems to be that alternative fuels are subject to duty at the same rate as the fuel they replace ( I read this then couldn't find it again). ie if you put anything in a petrol car and drive it on the road then you...

Can I ask how you do this and how hot you get it? If you have tried cold filtering and it failed let me know.

Yes it has been really useful..Now all I have to do is get on with it.

OK - I know I am being a bit aggressive with the percentage. I am being a bit devil's advocate. But what exactly is not going to last? Is it going to attack the seals in the pump/ or will the engine die from the abuse/ lumpiness when cold. Or will the fatty acids attack the surfaces inside...

Some one on here above has suggested sieve it and then let it settle and has used this technique successfully. There are various filters on eBay which I thought I might try- this one is cheap: Biodiesel svo wvo Filter Bag 16" long :@) Green Team on eBay, also, Other Business Industrial...

Fresh oil yes. I paid £15 for 20 litres - 75p so a little cheaper, but it turned out it was Soy oil with anti-foaming agent (in Newport as it happens.) There are a few scare stories around on this stuff so I am steering clear. It looks like I can get waste oil for about £4 maybe less for 20...

I was thinking along similar lines, but I hadn't reckoned on 2 weeks. I will try not to be impatient with the first lot.

Great idea - thanks.

This is the good stuff I was after - now where can I get a free sieve? How much is "a bit" of unleaded?

The law seems to be that you can do up to 2,500 litres a year. Things get iffy if you add Kero.

Me too - spooky.
